This website is compiled by Henny de Bruin, a musician and now by chance an ethnomusicologist of sorts. The site covers the bases of plucked string instruments from all corners of the world. Divided by type and geographic origin, each page features a listing of the instruments in question. Complete with pictures, descriptions, and, in most cases, links to carefully picked videos, this is an interesting stop for any guitar or international-music lover.
