This weekend, my son and I were in the subway, waiting for a train. There was chinese musician with an interesting instrument which looked like a 2 string version of a fiddle. One of the unique things about the instrument was that it was bowed with the strings inside the bow. The sound box looked like a small drum. Although he was clearly practicing rather than performing, it was a pleasure to hear him until our train came along. [Of course we put something in the pushka.]
