The ''jing erhu'' (Chinese: 京二胡; pinyin: jīng èrhú) is a Chinese two-stringed bowed musical instrument in the ''huqin'' family of instruments, similar to the ''erhu''. It is so named because it is used in ''jing xi'', or Beijing opera. It is lower in pitch than the ''jinghu'', which is the leading melodic instrument in the Beijing opera orchestra, and is considered a supporting instrument to the ''jinghu''. The ''jing erhu'' has a wooden body and neck. It is played vertically, with the body resting on the player's left thigh and the horsehair of the bow passing between the two strings. It previously used silk strings, but since the 1960s has more commonly used steel strings. The ''jing erhu'' was popularized in the 1920s by Wang Shaoqing (王少卿), a musician in the troupe of Mei Lanfang. ==External links== *(''erhu music'' ) - Listen to relaxing erhu music *(''Jing erhu'' page ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jing erhu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
