Voice 1: How many musical instruments can you hear playing? A guitar maybe? It sounds like someone's fingers are moving up and down strings² on a guitar. And drums - maybe Indian drums - bongos? You can hear a hand hitting bongos. Well that is right. This is the sound of a guitar and bongos! But, there is only one instrument playing! This instrument is one of its kind! It is the only guitar in the world like it. On the surface of the guitar are bongos. The guitar can play like a normal guitar. Or, it can play like an Indian guitar - a sitar.

声音1：你能听到多少种乐器的声音？也许能听到吉他声？听上去像有人用手指在上下拨动琴弦。还有鼓声，可能是印度鼓——邦戈鼓？你可以听到用手击打邦戈鼓的声音。没错。这就是吉他和邦戈鼓的声音！但是，这是用一种乐器演奏出来的！这个乐器是独一无二的！世界上只有一把吉他是这个样子的。吉他的上面是邦戈鼓。这把吉他可以像普通吉他一样演奏。或者，也可以像印度吉他西塔尔那样演奏。
