Tuning that thing must be a pain.

    Still better than a harp or piano, at least.

    Yeah, looking closer, it seems like tuning this instrument would have nothing to do with all those little buttons, it's just those turning knobs at the head like a guitar. 👍

    I so love this instrument. The music more commonly played on it is so beautiful to me.

    very cool! i wonder how easy it is for pianists to learn

    It is primarily played underarm, suspended from the shoulder using a sling, with the bow in the overhanging arm.

    It definitely helps to have spider crabs for hands.

    That sounded really cool though.
