Ghichak (maybe)* http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak3.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak4.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak5.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak6.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ghichak1.mp3 unbelievably exciting bowed Afghan instrument, I'm playing with cello bow, single and double stopping, using sitar strings, remembering, trying not to rush the rhythm. *hard to pinpoint what this instrument is, somewhere among suroz, sarinda, and ghichak; there's only one image of a similar thing online in a museum - I can't locate it again - it was just called an Afghan chordophone. mine seems a century old at the least; I had repairs to do.
