The H'arpeggione is a unique instrument that combines the Hardanger Fiddle (a Norwegian folk fiddle with sympathetic strings) and the Arpeggione (a Baroque, guitar-shaped, fretted, bowed, 'cello-like instrument). Of interest to me are the sympathetic strings, ability to bow, and the quarter-tone frets.
At present, some sound samples can be heard on Erik Hind's MySpace page.
