The eoeungeum or oungum (Korean: 어은금) is a stringed musical instrument invented and played in North Korea. It is between the size of a mandolin and a mandola, and commonly has four single strings. It is a development in the 1960's from the traditional Korean instrument called hyangbipa.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][excessive citations]
