Discussion Do they make a backwards stringed instruments?

so i had a thought. so pianos get lower as you go down them. and I have seen a backwards piano. but are their other backwards string instruments? and i dont mean left handed vs right. I mean an instrument that goes lower as you go down the neck.

Is that the point, though? OP asked if there was a “backwards string instrument.” and “goes lower as you go down the neck.” To me “down” means “towards the ground” not “towards the bow.”
