if there are any enthusiests of chinese and japanese musical instruments out there that can identify this, cause it definately isnt an erhu (erhu has a snakeskin over the soundbox, and the strings connect to the same side), but it does look familiar.

The instrument here is essentially identical to the instrument appearing in the ZUN art. Not a canonical erhu, perhaps, but that's the least of its problems, considering that the strings aren't even attached to the tuning pegs. If I had to guess, I'd say the artist didn't care.

Rin carries an erhu (two strings, bowed), not a shamisen (three strings, plucked).
