The ''maguhu'' (馬骨胡; simplified: 马骨胡; pinyin: mǎgǔhú) is a Chinese bowed string instrument in the ''huqin'' family of musical instruments. It has two strings and its sound box is made from the femur bone of a horse (or alternatively a cow or mule). The front end of the sound box is covered with snake skin (or, alternatively, shark or frog skin), and the end of the neck is carved in the shape of a horse's head. The ''maguhu'' is used primarily by the Zhuang and Buyei peoples of the southern Chinese province of Guangxi. It is used in the ensemble that accompanies ''guiju'' (桂剧; Guangxi opera) and is also used in the ''bayin'' (八音) ensemble of the Zhuang people (along with the ''tuhu'', ''huluhu'', ''sanxian'', drums, cymbals, and other instruments). The instrument's name is derived from the Chinese words ''mǎ gǔ'', meaning "horse bone," and ''hú'' (short for ''huqin''). ==See also== * Chinese music * List of Chinese musical instruments * Huqin 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「Maguhu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
