The keleli is a half-spike lute, in which the end of the neck pokes out though the soundboard, [1] as on a xalam. This is one of two styles common to the spike lutes. The other common style is a full spike lute, in which the neck of the instrument goes through two opposite sides of a bowl-shaped soundbox as on a gurmi. [3]
