I didn't see the instrument. From the description it sounds like it might
be a nyckelharpa otherwise known as a swedish key fiddle. There are several
pictures at http://www.nyckelharpa.org/info/history.html

Is this what you saw? It is played with a bow like a violin. I saw one
played recently at a folk music festival in encino.
