Fiddle-horn?

I was channel surfing last night and found this strange image.What sort of musical instrument is this? After an initial glance, it seems to be some sort of string AND wind instrument. Is this possible or is this a hoax by some television executive?

Well apparently, it is a REAL instrument. It is either a phono fiddle! Or a globular fiddle horn. According to one site:

The globular fiddle-horn is an instrument I call the "fiddle-dee-doo". It's a globu-tubular horn, with a goatskin resonator. The tubular section of the horn is the neck and fingerboard of the fiddle, and the goatskin membrane on the globular section is the soundboard of the fiddle. It can have one or two gut strings. The blow hole for the horn is on the back of the globular section. While it can be played as a globular horn or as a fiddle, it's most interesting when the two systems interact. For example, when blowing into the globular horn, the strings of the fiddle vibrate sympathetically. The next version of this instrument will be designed so that the fiddle and horn can more easily be played at the same time. Like other globular horns with goatskin resonators, it can also be played as a drum.
