The qin qin comes in tree types; a wooden body about 8 inches (20cm) in diameter, a skin covered instrument, and the new compromise with a wooden body and a small skin resonating head in the center.
Chinese instruments are usually tuned in 4ths, so G -C-G would be normal for a sanxian. You could use it for this.
doesn't look like a san xian (wrapped with a snake skin or equivalent) and it doesn't sound like a san xian (the tune is too refined, san xian has a very earthy sound and would sound quite masculine) this is sounding very "high court" i think this is probably a 阮
Sanxian is a bit longer with a much smaller body.

it is a 秦琴 "Qin-Qin",tuned as D-A-D.
A 三弦 "San-Xian" is much bigger and no frets on the neck.

Not bad, standard tuning for most Traditional Asian Instruments are D-A-D or C-F-C.
