From left to right (main photo) Ukelin, Mountain Dulcimer, Bowed Psaltery, Diddley-Bow, Biwa. (the one lying down). The second photo is my Hammered Dulcimer (Master Works). 3rd photo is the Biwa (Japanese lute), and the last photo is a close-up of part of the Ukelin. (supposed to be a combination of a violin and a ukulele, but it's more like a bowed psaltery & zither.)
