    Taken from Science News Online
    The first, and so far only, member of this new family of instruments is the tritare—rhymes with guitar—devised by mathematicians Samuel Gaudet and Claude Gauthier of the University of Moncton in New Brunswick. Resembling a guitar with two extra necks, the tritare hosts six Y-shaped strings. As in an ordinary guitar, each tritare string runs from a tuning peg along a fretted neck. However, the familiarity ends at an unanchored juncture point where the string branches. From there, one string segment runs along each of the two extra, unfretted necks.

    Some interesting sound samples here but all in all, not as amazing sounding as I was expecting.
