Do you want to add before the instrument?

Chinese traditional musical instruments are not added, but all other musical instruments are added.

In English, the expression of musical instruments and whether to add the article "the" are common grammatical phenomena. For western musical instruments, it is usually necessary to add "the" in front, such as "piano" and "violin". This is because these musical instruments are specific in English and need to be clearly pointed out with the definite article "the".

However, the situation is different for traditional Chinese musical instruments. Take Erhu and Pipa as examples. the English expressions are Erhu and Pipa, respectively, and there is usually no need to add "the" before the names of these instruments. This is related to the cultural background and historical inheritance of Chinese traditional musical instruments. In China culture, these musical instruments have a profound historical background and unique cultural significance. Therefore, when expressed in English, they are regarded as a whole concept, not a specific instrument name.

In short, whether to add "the" when expressing musical instruments in English depends on the cultural background and language habits of musical instruments. For Chinese traditional musical instruments, not adding "the" is a common language phenomenon, which reflects the cultural and linguistic differences between the East and the West.
