@chenm99, I understand what ginghu is. Ginghu is widely used in Gin shee and Yes, it can sound very high and squeaky at times. I am not criticizing the music, nor Zhao Yuanchan's technique. I think the music is enchanting and her technique is superb, but her form needs some improvement. And she can learn a lot from my favorite Erhu player, Jiang Kemei. You can tell the difference if you see both playing the same song.
It's Jinghu, which is native to Beijing Opera and popular in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and NE China. Erhu is native to Sizhu Music in Southern Jiangsu and hence popular in Shanghai, Southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Both are derived from Huqin.
Huqin was the original and all modern instructments derived from it. Nowadays it becomes an umbrella term. So in Beijing when you say Huqin people will understand it as Jinghu. In Shanghai when you say Huqin people will understand it as Erhu. In Guangdong when you say Huqin or Erhu people will understand it as Gaohu. So Huqin in Mandarin is kind of like Fiddle in English.
Looks like an easy instrument

Yes this is much smaller than the erhu so will be pitched much higher, I guess it may be the smallest of the huqin family?

The player is very skillful, but the instrument is a bit too high and squeaky for my taste.

It is Jinghu, not Erhu. Jinghu is supposed to be very high and squeaky!

Goosebumps! The last part in this piece is probably the coolest in all of Chinese music.

Thank you for sharing, I like it very very much. JingHu and Drums are excellent and of course I like very very much "Farewell my concubine" too.
