What is the small, plinky-sounding stringed instrument in the advert for BBC Asian Network? My dad is mad for out of the ordinary musical instruments and I would like to try and get one for his birthday!
TIA

I found a site advertising the casting for the trailer and it calls for a TUMBI player. I've had a look elsewhere and that is what it is.
