Think it's called a "Pi Pa."

See 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipa'

I think there is actually a prop similar to that. Let me look through my runtime. Anytime I see something Asian related around Poser I have to have it!  LOL

A Japanes Biwa is related to the Chinese Pi Pa from cross-polination (Japanese culture was heavily influenced by China) but they are different in places.  Note that the headstock of the Biwa is practically perpendicular to the neck whereas the Pi Pa starts that way nearly but curves instead.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
