But listening to people talk in general terms about instruments I can't even see, much less hear, seemed futile. And what is the instrument being played in the background? They don't even say! (I suspect it's a Lyon and Healy electronic harp.) |

Fairly sure (from the sound of it and the reference made to it slightly later by the speaker) that the instrument concerned is a Kora -- described as a West african harp/lute. There are many videos on YouTube, and players to look out for are the likes of Toumani Diabate and Solo Cissokho. (Apologies for my ineptitude in posting clicky links!) |

It went cheap because there was only one buyer, but they had upped their maximum bid several times, so you would have had to bid high to beat them. |
