Unknown Instrument
6 Attachment(s)
I was recently at a Flea Market and I came upon this instrument;It didn't have any strings but it was cheap {AKA the song "Thrift Shop.").
I think that it could be from Indonesia or maybe the Philippines but I don't know. Does anyone else know for sure? |
Well I solved my own question;Pictured is an Indonesian Batak 2 string lute known as a Hasapi, Kecapi, Hapitan, or a Kwcapi.
There many examples on Youtube of this instrument being played and it has quite a range for only having 2 strings. PS, mine now has 2 strings and is fully functional much to regret of my Wife. |
Congratulations !
I wouldn't mind getting a true T'boli lute to learn to play. |
I had to look up a T'boli lute;I believe that they are also 2 string ,but much larger.

I thought it sounded sort of like a Banjo at first. Surprisingly loud for such a small instrument. |
Yeah, same! Not just in sound but also in overall musical style.

I believe it's related to the Kudyapi, but significantly smaller
