Here is an instrument I invented, play and write for.
It's a Bamboo stalk with 8 strings spiraling around it.
Played with a bow it sounds something like Cello with a more harmonic rich tone.
It's pretty tall, about 6 and a half feet in height.
Enjoy! : ]

I wonder if my father ever danced to this? I know, like so many of his generation, he was into the dances of that era enough to have taken lessons as an adult.
