Chinese Two-stringed Fiddle · Bowed string instrument — Iconic traditional Chinese instrument
The erhu is a traditional Chinese bowed string instrument with two strings. It is renowned for its expressive, melancholic tone and is a staple in solo, folk, and orchestral Chinese music. Its sound is produced by a bow rubbing against the strings across a snakeskin resonator.
