The Life of Olaudah Equiano

What does Olaudah mean by "a stickado?"

In the first chapter, Olaudah talks about the musical instruments they had in Eboe and mentions that they played an instrument similar to a "stickado."

Does anyone know what this instrument is or is this just lost to history?

I think he is meaning an instrument consisting of small bars of wood, flat at the bottom and rounded at the top, and resting on the edges of a kind of open box.
