A 'tabra' is a lip-reed instrument, one in which the actuator is the player's
lips, so no x2 place is needed.  The lip-reed instruments are essentially
the brass instruments as generally understood.  The complete set is:

        jgita: stringed instrument, with or without frets
        flani: air reed instrument
        tabra: lip reed instrument
        xagri: physical reed instrument, single or double
        damri: percussion instrument
        pipno: keyboard instrument, regardless of sound mechanism

Woops!  Thanks for pointing this out.
