A
huqin (pronounced hoo-chin) is a general term for
two-stringed bowed instruments that include the erhu, jinghu,
gaohu, banhu, zhonghu and so on. Also known as the "barbarian" (hu)
"fiddle" (qin), the huqin is believed to have been brought to
China around 140 BC. The tone is soulful and very expressive and
many find it similar to the western violin. We encourage our
audience to compare and contrast the various sound qualities and
dynamics of these beloved bowed-string instruments
