The Erhu....(pronounced arhoo, I think..)

[droolymutt]

Chris, being in China, you must know what that is.



There's an Oriental busker here in Montreal who plays erhu all alone, and the sound of it can make your heart cry and smile at the same time.



Beautiful Instrument to listen to after a hard day....



It even calms my insane cats...

Yes it's a passionate instrument. We also have buskers playing the erhu and it's so moving.



I pronounce it like it's spelt "er-hoo" Like 'er - where's my date?' 'hoo are you?' you know what I'm saying?



Here's a photo of one:
