What Wikipedia says

The musical bow (bowstring or string bow, a subset of bar zithers) is a string instrument used by a number of African peoples as well as Indigenous peoples of the Americas. It consists of a flexible, usually wooden, stick 1.5 to 10 feet (0.5 to 3 m) long, and strung end to end with a taut cord, usually metal.
