Gorgeous Sound, But What Is It?

I was visiting Kiev (Ukraine) and saw this older man playing a really intricate string instrument. It sounded amazing, like a cross between a balalaika and a harpsichord. It was unlike anything I’d ever heard before. Only one problem, I don’t know what the instrument is called! Woops!

(I complain about playing my 6-string guitars! This guy has about 50 strings to deal with! Zheesh!)
