Here are some views of the musical instrument oddity, the Marxolin. This multi-stringed instrument was meant to be played with a bow, violin-like, which is conspicous in its absence in these pictures. I didn't get one when I bought this used! Just as well. If I had tried to tune the strings, I think they would have broken or otherwise damaged the hardware on this old thing. Look up the history of this ax yourself to get a better handle on how it was played. The whole thing perplexed me.
