Description
The ukelin is a bowed psaltery with zither strings.
The ukelin has sixteen melody strings and sixteen bass strings, divided into groups of four for playing accompanying chords. There is one large bass string in each group and three smaller chord strings. The ukelin is placed on the table in front of the player. The melody strings are played with a bow in the right hand, and the bass strings are plucked or strummed with the fingernails of the left hand or a pick.[3] The ukelin is tuned to a C major scale, and unless tuned to include them, is unable to play chromatic notes; therefore, it is limited in what it can play. For ease of playing for amateurs, the strings are given numbers, and the booklets that were sold with the ukelin would give these numbers, a tabulature notation, instead of notes on a staff, for playing simple songs.

Ukelin
This is one of the strangest instruments I've found and actually own. LOTS of strings. I've read that its supposed to be a cross between a Ukulele and violin. Its played with a bow. I have to say I've never heard a recording of this instrument being played. But I got some strange sounds out of it. Its cool for what it is. I wish I had more Info.
