  • The yehu in "Guangdong Music" (Guangdong yinyue) is ususally an ensemble instrument, just going by the CDs I have, this is only one of a few of pieces performed with the yehu as the lead instrument.

  • Yu Qwei (Yú Qíwěi 余其伟 or 余其偉) is probably the best known and most widely

    recorded gaohu player there is!

    youtube video: watch?v=CwwU-67EDmc , 胡琴大搜索 - 余其偉老師

    In the background, there are several instruments including a yehu. Most of the video is of him talking, but he does play "autumn moon on calm lake" at the end.

    There's more info on the Wikipedia gaohu article.

  • The piece can be found on the Hugo CD, in fact it's the title piece, "Tolling of Buddhist Temple: Guangdong Music" 禅院钟声 广东音乐 chányuànzhōngshēng: guǎngdōngyīnyuè (Hugo HRP 729-2) (1990).

  • Who is Yu Qiwei and are there commercially available recordings of yehu? I am an American who plays the yehu with a Chinese ensemble in Cleveland, Ohio. I am currently using a Chaozhou-style yehu which I have tuned low, like the yehu in this video (I'm using a cello A string for my low string), but would like to get an actual (larger) Cantonese yehu. Is the yehu in this video a Chaozhou-style or Cantonese-style yehu? I have seen photos of Cantonese yehus that were even larger and more round.

  • Thank you for this excellent information. This piece has an older and more traditional sound than much Cantonese music composed in the 1930s by Lü Wencheng and his compatriots.

  • It's called "Chán yuàn zhōng shēng" 禅院钟声 lit. sound of bells from Buddhist courtyard, composed by Cuī Wèilín 崔蔚林.

    I have a few reordings of Yu Qiwei playing it on the yehu, and it's usually found on CDs of Guangdong music (Guangdong yinyue), but it might possibly have origins from other parts of China or other styles of music.

  • It's so wonderful to have a video of solo yehu on YouTube. Can you tell us which regional Chinese tradition this piece is from?
