One extreme use of the trapezoidal machine:

Pentagonal, indeed! It's a trapezoid!
There are two sets of strings interlaced at an angle .
Or three on some bass instruments.
... Each course of
strings sounds two notes.
There are diatonic hammered dulcimers,
Yes indeed! But the trick is to make the box so that the 700lbs of tension
from all the strings doesn't rip it apart before it is up to pitch.
... the whistle player
passed around a bottle of Bushmill.
