Kinniky Busker

Kinniky Busker on the streets, doing his groovy music...I think.

Odd instrument, huh? It's called a Boilien, after its inventor, Edward Boilien (I'm making this up, by the way).

It has eight strings, in four pairs (one main, one sympathetic below it), and a fretless neck. One hand tunes the main strings on the neck, the other holds the twin bows and plays the song. One bow plays bass, the other treble. It's a Rah folk instrument, mainly.
