* ShichepshinThe "byzaanchy" (Tuvan: бызаанчы; Russian: Бизанчи; also transliterated "byzanchi" or "byzanchie") is a four-stringed vertical spike fiddle used in the traditional music of Tuva. It is similar to the Chinese "sihu". However, the "byzaanchy"'s soundbox is generally made of wood whereas the "sihu" usually has a metal soundbox. The "byzaanchy"'s soundbox may be cylindrical or, more rarely, cubical.

The instrument's four strings are in courses of two, one of each pair tuned together, to the interval of a fifth. The horsehair bow is divided into two portions of hair. A carved horse's head generally features at the top of the instrument's wooden neck.
