Other Ancient Ancestors of the Guitar
Tanbur: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfy53P_FPtM
•Instruments like the bowl-harp and tanbur are some of the earliest string instruments known to man.
•A tanbur is a long-necked stringed instrument with a small egg- or pear-shaped body, with an arched or round back, usually with a soundboard of wood or hide, and a long, straight neck". The tanbur probably developed from the bowl harp as the neck was straightened out to allow the string/s to be pressed down to create more notes.
