Wavebow Comp?

Last Friday, I dropped by the Asian Arts and Culture Exhibit at the Vancouver, WA Arts Hub. There were, as you might expect, lots of amazing crafts and artwork, as well as some great musical performances. Some exhibits even combined craft, art, and music, like this one:

I found this stringed instrument to be so interesting that I had to take pictures of it. It kind of reminded me of a wavebow, or a possible relative of it (in case you're new here, a wavebow is the magical musical instrument that some of my characters from the Joel Suzuki series play). The back of it was even cooler:

As you can see, it had a carving of what I think is a dragon, which looks incredible. Confession: I had never thought of doing something like that for the wavebows, and now I wish I had! Maybe I can work it into Volume Eight somehow.

Anyway, there was no one manning that booth while I was there (I had to leave a little early), so I didn't get a chance to ask what the instrument was called. If you know, please tell me in the comments! And if you're in the Vancouver, WA area and have not checked out the Arts Hub yet, I highly recommend doing so. You can find out more information about it here.
