How many strings does the traditional erhu have?

1. Erhu has two strings, so it is named Erhu. Erhu is a modern name. In the past, people used to call it Nanhu, Huqin, etc. Erhu looks like an object, and there is nothing to express, but it has been processed by different performers in technology and art. It will become a very emotional thing.

2. In the past, most erhu used silk strings. Because of their shortcomings such as large flexibility, short service life and poor articulation, silk strings have been gradually eliminated by steel strings. Since the 196s, the use of steel strings has become increasingly common.
