This work presents a physical model of the yaybahar, a recently invented acoustic instrument. Here, output from a bowed string is passed through a long spring, before being amplified and propagated in air via a membrane. The highly dispersive character of the spring is responsible for the typical synthetic tonal quality of this instrument. Building on previous literature, this work presents a modal discretisation of the full system, with fine control over frequency-dependent decay times, modal amplitudes and frequencies, all essential for an accurate simulation of the dispersive characteristics of reverberation. The string-bow-bridge system is also solved in the modal domain, using recently developed non-iterative numerical methods allowing for efficient simulation
