      That's because it's actually 6 strings in 3 courses of 2 (that is, in pairs that are always playing the same pitch, either in unison or at the octave), like a 12-string guitar has 6 pairs. That's what gives them both that jingly sound.

      Well, sure he's good, I'm not denying that, but non musicians often fail to realise that there is a lot of transferable skills between musical instruments (meaning that if you know how to play the first one, it'll be easier to learn the second one, and if you know two, the third one will be even easier to learn, etc).
      It is even truer within a category of instruments; for example if he knows how to play the guitar, he won't struggle too much with the banjo, lute, this Turkish thing, etc. Notice how he's not venturing into playing the violin or cello for example, which are altogether more difficult to play well, require specific and constant training and talent and an are entirely different ball game.
