Gehu is a Chinese national bass stringed instrument with four strings, a fingerboard, and a horizontal qin barrel. The bow is the same as the cello bow. It can be played or plucked.

Gehu's tone characteristics

Gehu's sound is deep and bright, round and strong, and has a wide range. Because the bow is outside the strings, the playing skills are also extremely rich.

It has absorbed and developed the playing skills of Erhu, Zhonghu, Zuihu and Matouqin. In ethnic bands, it can also replace middle and low hus, and can be used in various performance forms such as solo, ensemble, ensemble or accompaniment.

Involving musical instruments

Gehu (pinyin: gé hú) is a low-pitched stringed instrument with a louder volume and a wider range. In the 1950s, Yang Yusen (1926-1980) of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music created it on the basis of the erhu and absorbed the characteristics of other stringed instruments, so it is called Gehu. After continuous improvement, it has now become a bass-pulled string instrument with rich expressiveness.
