Byzaanchy
The byzaanchy is a four-stringed vertical spike fiddle used in the traditional music of Tuva. It is similar to the Chinese ''sihu''. However, the ''byzaanchy'''s soundbox is generally made of wood whereas the ''sihu'' usually has a metal soundbox. The ''byzaanchy'''s soundbox may be cylindrical or, more rarely, cubical.
