I'd love to agree- but it is not a Qinqin - there is a version of an asian instrument that is similar to a banjo- but that is a western banjo playing an asian melody
Not exactly an expert. I ran across some Californian musicians (Monsters of Shamisen) playing the wildest music on Japanese instruments, and that led me to Okinawan Sanshin which led to Ryukyuan court music, which is played on Chinese instruments.
After following a few more leads I found a qin-qin at Lark in the Morning for $130 that looks almost identical to your mother's. No sign of a shuang qin. I'm thinking of making one.

P.S. Yes, I made my own shuang qin. Would you like to drop by my channel and see it?

Your mom plays a pretty good tremolo. Please give her my regards.
The frets seem a little off for a banjo. Is that a qin-qin?

You seem to be an expert on this. Yeah, it is qin-qin instead of a banjo.
