Product Details


Product Description

The Huqin is a family of Chinese bowed instruments that became popular during the Sung dynasty, circa 960-1279 AD. Bowed instruments were likely invented in Central Asia and Mongolia, and the name huqin means foreign instrument. The various sizes have a long neck, 2 strings tuned in 5ths, and a snakeskin resonator. The bow is placed between the pair of strings and rosined on both sides of the hair. They are played with a wide variety of virtuosic techniques, and have a tone that is both mellow and sweet and bright as the same time. The most important instrument in the huqin group is the Erhu, which is widely played in many genres of Chinese music and is often used as a solo instrument, having a large repertoire. Our Erhus are of fine quality, and all have geared tuners that look like the original wooden pegs, come with bow and case, and sound excellent. Erhu are most commonly tuned DA like the middle strings of a violin. Student model Lark in the Morning Item Number CHI056
