Just so. The slightly more up-market version is to refer to "World Music".

Old? The erhu and the violin both evolved from the same Central Asian bowed stringed instruments, so it is hard to decide which is older, assuming either is. And not often seen these days? In Europe or the USA maybe, but instruments like pipa, dizi, erhu, guzheng, yangqin etc. are commonplace in Chinese classical music, opera, movie soundtracks, popular music, metal bands (see above) and even in the hands of street-musicians busking on metro stations.

All of the above-mentioned instruments:

Jazzed up electric version? Yeah, we can do that:
