Spotted a young lady with a small case that looked like an oversized fiddle/violin case. Asked if she played fiddle or violin in order to see what style of music she played. (ie classical or traditional). She was oriental, by the way.

What she said surprised me totally. She said it was a guitar, a Japanese guitar. Obviously a small guitar. This case was the size of a oversized fiddle case. Not as thick as a small parlour guitar. Anyone hear of such a guitar? I didn't get to see the guitar as we were on the bus, pretty crowded as it was rush hour.
