Bouzouki: This Greek instrument has a very beautiful “ringing” sound which is produced by using a plectrum. It was once associated with criminals and this led to the persecution of some musicians!

The source says the Bouzouki is a variation of the lute. Other variations include the banjo, ukulele and mandolin.

I think it is the Zambuki. You can hear it a lot on tracy Chapman albums.
