Reminds me of a Stick Dulcimer aka Strum Strick, pretty cool.

Re: Weird string instrument
Pitchy,
If you look on youtube there are all kinds of banjos being made. Made from gas cans, cigar boxes, cookie tins, and any other kind of box yu can think of. Most of them use monofilament fishing line for the strings and play them clawhammer style. Some are fretted some are not. I've even seen them made from gourds.
