Music
These are general descriptions of various African musical instruments, in this case the "kon", a two-stringed lute from West Africa. Not being particularly musical, I just wanted to check the best way to phrase this.
Bij het reciteren van hun liedteksten begeleiden deze zangers zich op de kon. De begeleiding is repetitief met gebruik van ostinatofiguren. De muziek is modaal waarbij de kon-speler gebruik maakt van dubbelstops.
Don't think there's much problem with "double stops" based on Google search (though I don't know what they are!); it's the right phrasing I'm after. Suggestion: The music is modal, with the kon musician playing in double stops. Alternatively: with the kon player using double stops (but I've already got a "use" in the previous sentence).
Any other suggestions from the more musically minded among you would be much appreciated!

Definities van double stop op het Internet in het Engels:
two musical tones noted together. On the fiddle, a double stop is technically two notes created by using fingers simultaneously on two strings, but the term is sometimes used when one or both of the notes are open strings.
memory.loc.gov/ammem/hrhtml/hrgloss.html
Two strings played simultaneously on a stringed instrument.

To play two of the same note simultaneously.

A double stop, in music terminology, is where a musician plays two notes simultaneously on a stringed instrument, for example a violin, a viola, a cello or a guitar. In performing a double stop, two separate strings are depressed (stopped) by the fingers, and bowed or plucked simultaneously. Double stops are exclusive to stringed instruments; you cannot play a double-stop on a trumpet.

Ignore the hotdrum definition - the two notes are not necessarily the same, and usually are not - the effect is to produce two notes in a chord.
As Harry says, you can say 'playing double stops',
or in your alternative 'the kon player double stopping' his or her instrument

Comment: ""playing double stops" will do nicely. Thanks to everyone for their musical insight and also to Dave for the definition of double stops. You learn something new every day... Now where did I put my double bass??? ;-)"
