5.1 gourd audio system

gourds (or calabashes) are beautiful natural resonators
you can find them used as resonators for instruments around the world
and in ancestral designs




i wish to combine the natural acoustics of the gourd with powered amplifier system
to create a 5.1 surround gourd stereo system
and my dream is to create a tube amplifier (rather than standard LM386 circuit)
combine the 'hi-fi' with the 'low-tech'

input devices:
questions :
what is the cultural significance of the calabash across asia, the americas and african indigenous cultures?
what are examples of ways ancestral knowledge and indigenous ways of knowing been historically incorporated into the manufacuring of technologies?
