Erhu (Shanghai Tunhuang) 二胡(上海敦煌)

Code : TT 134

Introduction :

Erhu has been called "Huqin", "Nanhu", is a representative stringed musical instrument and also widely used throughout China as a soloist and musical accompaniment. After the 1950s reform of musical instrument, silk strings were converted to metal strings, improving the sound quality and volume; using metal screw shaft, make pitch tuning more accurately, so that Erhu can be played with wider performance.

Erhu includes sound box, bar, strings, bridge, qianjin, bow and bottom bracket. Sound box of Erhu is mostly hexagonal or cylindrical. One side of the sound box is covered with python skin, while the other side is the acoustic window. In addition, qianjin, that is, using a string to tie around the bar and the middle section of the strings, is for regulating the pitch. Also there is a metal "S"-shaped small hook which can be moved up and down. Bridge is placed on the skin covered sound box to set up the strings. The vibrations generated by rubbing strings with the bow can be transmitted through the bridge. The pitch range of Erhu can reach about three octaves, however, in the ensemble, the range is generally not more than two octaves.

簡介：

二胡曾被稱為『胡琴』、『南胡』，是胡琴類樂器的代表，亦被中國各地音樂廣泛使用作為獨奏和伴奏的主要樂器之一。二十世紀五十代的樂器改革，二胡由使用絲弦轉為金屬弦，改進其音質和聲量；使用金屬製的螺旋轉軸，在調音時音高更準確等，使二胡在演奏上能夠有更大的發揮和表現。

二胡由琴筒、琴桿、琴弦、琴碼、千斤、琴弓、底托所組成。二胡的琴筒多為六角形或圓筒形，琴筒的一端蒙有蟒蛇皮，而另一端是音窗。此外，還置有千斤，即利用一條細繩，繞紮於琴桿和琴弦中腰的地方，用作調節音高；亦有金屬製的『S』形小鈎，小鈎可上下移動；琴碼則置放在琴筒皮膜上，將琴弦架起，使琴弓拉擦琴弦所產生的振動能夠由琴弦傳至琴筒。二胡的音域可達到三個八度左右，但在合奏時一般音域多不超過兩個八度。
