I also just found this awesome site that has a World Instrument Gallery explaining the construction and function of all different kinds of musical instruments from around the world. It has them all categorized by instrument type and has everything from a kora, to a koto, to a kyi zi all with pictures and explanation of how each instrument is played. Go scope it out!
