The pitch range of an Erhu

The Erhu pitch range is up to four octaves in its most common tuning. It has 2 strings, on which is usually tuned D and the other A, a perfect fifth apart. Where volume is concerned, it cannot match the violin, yet it is a more flexible instrument. With only 2 strings, erhu virtuosi can yet play even the most complex violin pieces.
