I'm not aware of any Klingon bowed stringed instruments, or any word for playing one. Apparently they only pluck or strum them. BTW, from my own musical experience, I would think that {Heng} refers to placing your fingers on the strings to set up certain notes, and {yach} and {pang} refer to moving the strings in order to produce that note. For example, on a guitar, your left hand {Heng}s the strings while your right hand {yach]es or {pang}s them.
