What musical instrument is Hu Qin?

1, Hu Qin, also known as Hu Xiang, is a national musical instrument. Originated from the northern minorities, the ancient Han people called the northern minorities "Hu", named after Qin from the north. Huqin is a kind of bowstring musical instrument of Mongolian nationality, which was called Hull in ancient times.

Huqin's bow is much stronger than other musical instruments. Because the piano barrel is small and the snake skin is tightly covered, if the bow carrying force is too weak, the snake skin can't fully vibrate, and the piano barrel is incomplete, and the pronunciation is naturally thin and noisy. Because of this structure of the harp, a strong bow pulling force is needed to pull it. Strengthening the bow drawing strength, on the one hand, enhances the wrist strength, on the other hand, accelerates the bow drawing speed, so the Huqin is most suitable for middle or fast bow drawing. Slow bows or long notes are more difficult to play on the huqin.
