the hasapi is a fretless Indonesian instrument with two strings;
mine are tuned in unision. the first two pieces are played with
picks, and the third, with fingers only, resulting in a softer
sound. it can be extremely difficult to play, if one uses double
stops, harmonics, and other techniques, some borrowed from pipa
or even flamenco.
