Lordy, is she playing an erhu??? (Definitely something closely related.) Quite possibly the last instrument I’d expect to see in a Joe Bonamassa show.

(I had a buddy from Taiwan in graduate school who played one of those “not exactly an erhu” instruments. He’d let me play it while I let him play one of my mountain dulcimers.)
