Need to know what instrument they're using.

Hey, does anyone know what instrument is playing at 2:38? I really like it but I can't tell what it is:

Are you asking about the 12 string guitar?

 

[Rayblewit]

It has a Middle Eastern or Spanish sound.
Rather nice I might add.
Looks to me could be custom made.

I've seen one once before, played by a guitarist in a band from Peru. Yes it is a 12 string guitar but as I recall it had a unique name.

Back in the day when Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were playing them, we simply called it a 12-String.

Not sure, but it's not a guitar - it is a 10 string instrument (presumably 2 strings for each course) - could be a cittern

It's a Puerto Rican cuatro
