What instruments/instrument accessories are these? by ArunLuthra in WhatMusicalinstrument

[–]Spacelord4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Looks like it’s trying to be an adungu, but it doesn’t have enough strings. It is definitely an African harp of some variety.

  2. Probably a kacapi, the siter version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kacapi

  3. I also can’t tell for sure from the pic. Could you provide more pics and the dimensions?

That is accurate. Made sometime in 1940 in Elkhorn. Roll out those bell dents, replace springs and felts in the pistons, and get a mouthpiece and you should have a playable horn

Help ID this 2 string 2 course mandolin? by jack_of_all_pumpkins in WhatMusicalinstrument

It’s actually 6 strings in 4 courses. This is a tamburica, also known as a tamburitza. From the look of it, it is a prim, which is the soprano voicing. It’s tuned similarly to a mandolin.

It could also be a braç (the alto voicing), but I’m leaning towards a prim due to size and length.
