Hi Manisha, How interesting, thanks for this. I had no idea what the name of this instrument is! If I am not mistaken, the same instrument is used in
- *Tour of the villas *from Couples Retreat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWpe1TMrKOQ listen from *min. 1.14 *onwards - *Tu Mera Hai *from Ada from *min. 3.12* onwards. I love the way ARR makes the ending of the Erhu move on to the Banjo/Oud/Ukelele (not sure).. super!
