The
jinghu
(
京胡
;
pinyin
: jīnghú) is a
Chinese
bowed
string instrument
in the
huqin
family, used primarily in
Beijing opera
. It is the smallest and highest pitched instrument in the
huqin
family.
Like most of its relatives, the
jinghu
has 2 strings that are customarily tuned to the interval of a 5th which the hair of the non-detachable bow passes in between. The strings were formerly made of silk, but in modern times are increasingly made of steel or nylon. Unlike other
huqin
instruments (
erhu
,
gaohu
,
zhonghu
, etc.) it is made of
bamboo
. Its cylindrical soundbox is covered with snakeskin on the front (playing) end, which forms a taut drum on which the bridge rests, sandwiched between the drum and the strings, which are connected to a peg at the bottom of the soundbox.
