A medieval crank-powered violin that sounds like bagpipes and a cello had a baby.

Crank powerA turning wheel bows all strings at once
Drone stringsBuilt-in bagpipe-style buzz never stops
Keyboard fingersPressing keys, not strings, sets the pitch
The buzzing bridgeA dog called the chien adds rhythmic snarl
Ancient rootsPlayed in Europe since the 11th century
