@almishti I think this might be a zhuihu.
The Japanese have the Kokyu, which is a small bowed shamisen. It used to have 3 strings but now it has 4. They also have the Kokin, which looks like a short erhu, but that one is very rare. I don't know if anyone still plays it.

@Hikikomori013 Gee, i don't knwo what those are, but in Japan they have something called the kikyu, the only Japanese bowed instrument, and it pretty much IS a bowed shamisen/ sanxian. maybe these are where the Japanese kikyu comes from. There's all kinds of odd little very regional instruments all over China that are like only played by one group of people and stuff.

@Hikikomori013 didn't see the beginning of this conversation, but it sounds like you're talking about the kikyu, i believe it's called. As far as i know, it pretty much is bowed sanxian or shamisen. I've never heard one played, I think it might be only used in specific genres or regions, like Okinawa.

@doctaword It depends where you use it. Using it for mining is not bad.
