About the Item

Vintage Chinese Wood Erhu – Traditional Two-Stringed Musical Instrument This Vintage Chinese Erhu is a beautifully crafted two-stringed bowed instrument, traditionally known as the "Chinese violin" or "spike fiddle." Handcrafted from aged hardwood, this piece features a resonator body typically covered with snakeskin, a slender neck, and intricate tuning pegs—all hallmarks of authentic Erhu construction. Known for its melancholic yet expressive sound, the Erhu has been a staple in Chinese classical and folk music for centuries. This vintage piece not only functions as a musical instrument but also serves as a collectible display item for those who appreciate traditional Chinese craftsmanship and musical heritage. Whether you're a musician, collector, or enthusiast of Asian cultural artifacts, this Erhu makes a striking and meaningful addition to any collection or interior setting.
