Đàn nhị
The đàn nhị (Vietnamese: [ɗâːn ɲîˀ], also called đàn cò, is a Vietnamese bowed string instrument with two strings. The word nhị means "two" in Vietnamese. Its sound box is generally covered on one end with snakeskin.[1]
It is related to the huqin family of instruments of China. Some Austroasiatic groups in Vietnam also have their version of Dan Co. (ex: Mường have Cò Kè, Chứt have T'rơbon, Khua have Karong and Khmer have Tro)
