    Sounds, at times, almost like the sound effects in a Japanese horror movie... the kind with the girl/woman with DEMON HAIR...

    Interesting instrument.  Haunting sounds.  I liked it, but it kind of spooked me too.

    Very aery sound. Lots of atmospheric possibilities. I would like to hear more.

    thanx  diane, yes  i have seen  this as one of the options  of playing it ,  also  guitar   like .. and also  held as a violin  .  and operating the   hammers  with one  hand and the "whammy with   your thumb .

     a multi instament to say the least . thanx for sharing   that ,  this explains the  2 bows    option .

    ;-)
