About the Erhu
The erhu is a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument known for its expressive and melancholic sound. It is often referred to as the "Chinese violin," but it has a unique history and playing style. The body of the erhu is typically made from wood with a snakeskin-covered sound box, and it is played with a bow.
The erhu has been used in many genres of music in China, including classical, folk, and contemporary styles. It is cherished for its capability to mimic the human voice and its emotional resonance.
