You certainly had me guessing, but I think I've found what you're after. Take a look at the 'youtube' offering for this new Chinese bowed instrument.

He's and accomplished concert violinist and plays with the NIH Orchestra, also an expert (near level 10 Chinese ranking) Erhu player who plays with the Wash. DC area Chinese Traditional Orchestra. I took Erhu lessons with him for over 2 yrs (I was about level 2.5) until 1 1/2 yrs ago when I had to stop lessons due to 7-day work at my jobs. We have been to China with wives together, that's how close we are. Now, I email about every 2 months or so to keep up the communication. He tells me he played a new instrument, the Wen Qin, at a Chinese Orchestra performance recently, and that we'll be able to talk about it next time we meet whenever. I know GuQin and he would say GuQin if he specifically meant GuQin, but what is the twist on Wen Qin...is this a bowed instrument? As explained, he plays bowed instruments. Thanks.
