Note from asker:
| YES! Thank you for your help! I was typing the same in google and it didn't lead me to ANY of those sites! I wonder why. The description of the instrument is identical to what I have in my document so I guess this is exactly what I need. |

liuqin
The term 'liuqin' is used to refer to an instrument most typically characterized in English as a Chinese mndolin or lute; cf. Wikipedia article at URL cited below. Evidently this is the same term?
Example sentence:
The liuqin (柳琴; pinyin: liǔq ín) is a four-stringed Chinese lute with a pear-shaped body...

Note from asker:
| No, this is another instrument. It is a pear-shaped derivative of the pipa, and I need a different one with a round body. They are all very similar, but different. Thanks for help though. |
