Dulicmer? Tenor guitar? Long-scale baritone uke?

An oddity, but interesting... 4 steel strings, too.

This one too:

I'd call it a travel bari uke.

I'd say it's not a dulcimer because it's chromatic and has a neck vs. fretboard on a full length body. Four steel strings strung like a guitar? Not a ukulele either. Strumstick? No, that's a licensed trademark of a different instrument. Tenor "stick" guitar sounds pretty close to me.

Ooo, fancy

I know. I had one (and it had a chromatic fretboard, by the way). I've read about their fight to protect their name, but it's an uphill battle. The name caught on - like Kleenex, Xerox, Band-Aid and Aspirin. Hard to contain common usage even if it's not correct (yes, photocopy is correct, I know, but how many people say they want to "Xerox" a page? Many...)
Stick dulcimer, stick guitar, stick uke... hard not to wander into Strumstick by mistake.

Agreed, but as an owner of an authentic Strumstick myself, I'm not going to be one to fight him on it.
