The differences between several musical instruments

The Yueqin is smaller than the Ruan and has a brighter tone than the Ruan. The Liuqin, commonly known as Tupipa, has a brighter, sweeter tone and stronger rigidity. Compared with the Pipa, the first three of these three instruments are played with a pick. The pipa is played with fake nails. The pipa was played horizontally at first and later developed into vertical playing, while the other three instruments were played vertically from the beginning. The biggest difference is that the appearance is different. Because of the appearance, the timbre is also different. Although the Yueqin and the Liuqin are both high-pitched instruments, the Yueqin has a round body, so its sound is rounder than the Liuqin.

The following are the differences between Banhu, Erhu, and Jinghu:

First of all, the texture of the singing tone of the three of them is different. Banhu uses coconut shells to make the singing box, and Erhu is Several pieces of wood are glued together to make a singing tune, while Jinghu uses bamboo tubes to make the tune. This is one of the reasons why their timbres are obviously different. Furthermore, their vibration media are different. Banhu, as the name suggests, , its entire medium is a wooden board. Erhu is made of mango skin, while Jinghu is made of snake skin. Mang skin is more tough than snake skin. Mang skin is very important when choosing erhu. The quality of the leather directly affects Erhu is more about the sound quality and timbre, while Jinghu is about the quality of the bamboo material. If the leather is not good, you can pierce it and replace it with a new one. Erhu and the other two are more neutral and can play a wider range of music because its timbre is the closest. And life, the Banhu is mainly used in local operas, and the Jinghu is mainly used in Peking opera. The bows of the three are also different. The Banhu is longer than the Erhu bow, which is suitable for playing some long tunes, while the Jinghu’s bow looks the most primitive, with only one strand. The bow is composed of a ponytail and a bamboo pole, so the posture of holding the bow is different from that of the Erhu Banhu. Even though the Jinghu is small, it is not easy to pull it well, not even easier than the Erhu Banhu. Not everyone can learn the Beijing accent. These musical instruments are the quintessence of China and are stringed instruments with the most Chinese characteristics.

We need to vigorously develop and inherit it!
