Answer 1

i think its an african flute or lute...something like that

Answer 2

It looks like the Chinese two-string fiddle called an Er-Hu. The bow runs between the 2 strings, so it is attached to the fiddle. It is played vertically, and in the hands of an expert is as versatile as the Western violin. I saw the chinese group Sweet Doll East play them a few years ago, and they were awesome.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3
