How to play Gehu

The bow is the same as the cello bow, and it is played outside the strings, which is convenient for bowing. Thanks to the fretboard, the sound is solid, and it is extremely convenient to press the strings. Because the neck and erhu run through the whole body in the same way, they will not be troubled by similar "violin shoulders" in performance, and their performance is more malleable, and there is more room for development of performance skills.

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.
