Gaohu Construction

The structure, production and materials of the gaohu are basically the same as those of the erhu. The biggest difference is that the qin barrel is thinner. Since gaohu was just born in the 20th century, musical instrument makers have little concern and restraint when remodeling gaohu.

Its barrel is smaller than that of Erhu, and its tuning is four to five degrees higher than that of Erhu, so it is called Gaohu.

The outer string is made of steel wire, and the inner string is wound with steel wire (there is also a wire string). When pulling, the legs are clamped to the piano tube to control the volume and reduce the sand sound. The sound is crisp and bright. Gaohu has been widely used and has now become a high-pitched stringed instrument in national bands.
