This musical instrument is played in the song by hadise named bad boy.
I thought it to be an oud/ud but in the music video there are short teases of that instrument and it doesn't look like oud/ud.. but sounds similar if not same.Also it looks like a short version of a guitar.

here are the links to the hadise song and the snapshot of that instrument from the video.

Kindly help me to identify it.( i feel like buying it.. it sounds wonderful)

I asked this same question on yahoo answers. they say its mandolin or ukulele.
But when I heard those two instruments on youtube they didnt quite sound like the one in the video.
I found this instrument to sound similar to the one in the hadise video.

Thank you.

I am struggling with this one. I have been trying all week to find anything like it. It seems more like a guitar than an oud/ud. I will keep trying.

Hi!
Am very thankful for your reply.

I must let you know that i have had asked several other music forums about this.

They and me too have come to the conclusion that its an ukulele.
But in the video its used just like that.
because the sound of ukulele is completely different than whats being played in the music video.
Unfortunately those other forums arent able to convince me what exact musical instrument is being "played" in the music than being shown in the video.
I must also say that the forum members did try really hard to find it.

Based on the screenshots, I think it's a ukelele with a left handed player. On the other hand, the instrument could also be a very small guitar. But the tuning knobs are way too far from each other to become a six-stringed guitar.
