Sung Lisu Proem http://www.alansondheim.org/sunglisu.jpg http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/944 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/proem.mp3 played on the sung lisu and recorded until the battery ran out. the sung lisu is used in northern Thailand; similar to the samisen or shamisen, it has three metal strings which can be used in various tunings. the instrument is fretless; mine is antique, with a lizard-skin covered body. it has a sound similar to the fretless banjo.
