Greeting to all, I saw this youtube video by George Gao ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYYXYdAJoXc ) and can't stop wondering what kind of Erhu is he using. An Electric Erhu? But it doesn't look like an electric erhu coz don't see any wire connected to it.. Look more like eco plastic Erhu. Look pretty cool

Think it is a shaoqin erhu, invented by George Gao. Here is some info about it, directly from his website: www.georgegao.com/"shaoqin erhu is invented by erhu master George Gao. Compare with the regular erhus, shaoqin erhus have a sound box with an opening hole facing upward, forms a reflection wall redirecting the sound, forcing it to travel through ceilings of concert halls, thus increase the perceived volume of the instrument, also enables the erhu player to monitor the sound more directly. On top of this ingenius design, All shaoqin erhus equipt with QQQianjin to increase it's range, now the lowest note is G3, a perfect fouth below regular erhus. To be able to play regular erhu pieces, the QQQianjins also can act as a capo, you can set the open strings tuning quickly and freely." Hope this helps
