Picture of wooden musical instrument taken from above. The instrument is rectangular and has 5 sets of 6 strings, each with a bridge located at different points up the length of the strings. There is a sound hole and to the left of the sound hole there is a label which says “Pentachord”. Each group of strings is labelled with a different coloured dot sticker, and there are lines going across like frets labelled with note names at the top and bottom.
