Uploading: IMAG2793.jpg…
It’s all wood. Hollow resonating body with no sound holes. There are no indentations for sawari and the “nut” is bone. It has wooden “frets” on the body like a pipa. Other than shape and size, it has more things in common with a gotta.
Any guesses would be great.
It has some writing on the back looks Japanese with flowing characters.
I don’t think the images are working, could you try uploading again?
It keeps not quite loading to 100 % then goes blank so I will try later.
Dang it.
Definitely wifi better
I believe that’s a Vietnamese Đàn Nguyệt (moon-lute)！
Many thanks as it was for a colleague.
