Talk:Huqin

Taiwanese huqin
I am reproducing the following discussion, which needs attention.

Hi, can you make sense of this discussion regarding use of the "hena" (erhu) by Chthonic (band), at http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:8cR29azZx68J:s8.invisionfree.com/Chthonic/ar/t117.htm+erhu+hena&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us? Someone is giving Chinese characters for "hena," but I can't read them. Badagnani 23:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Here is the interesting line:


 * In Taiwanese, its popular name is 弦仔 pronounced in "han"(弦)"na"(仔) (Stress on "na", but it's just a kind of modal word). Han(弦) means string.


 * This seems to be true. Google finds the word 弦仔 on 707 websites, almost all of them Taiwanese, so I guess it is only used in Taiwan. Here's what I found until now:


 * The article about Taiwanese opera on the Chinese Wikipedia uses the word:


 * 傳統上以胡琴類樂器領奏，領奏琴師稱為「主弦」、「頭手弦仔」、「頭手」，傳統上有「4大件」：殼子弦、大廣弦、月琴、台灣品仔（台灣笛）和「3大件」：六角弦、台灣三弦、洞簫的說法. 


 * This website is selling a box set of erhu music called 戀戀弦琴弦仔套裝 in Taiwanese, and Formosa Mood on Erhu in English.


 * This blog post says:


 * 椰胡的構造與材料簡單且容易取得(在那個年代). 除了硬木做成的軸身及調弦用的「絞止(ká-chí-a)」，再就是產生共鳴的半個椰子殼與檜木薄片，以及兩條絲弦. 挨弦仔(e-hiân-a)的部分則是由箭竹與一束馬尾巴(約15~20條)構成. 在馬尾巴及弦及椰子殼接觸之處，多塗抹松膠已增加澀度，聲音才會清楚. 


 * Another instrument's name has the same characters in it: it is called 鐵弦仔 or 鼓吹弦 (T'ie-hsien zai), and it is described here and here.


 * Maybe we could ask Taiwanese Wikipedians about it? Mushroom (Talk) 00:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Can someone figure out the hanzi for cizhonghu? Badagnani (talk) 12:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Stub???
This article is stated to be a stub. I disagree. It doesn't seem stubby to me at all. I think it's interesting and informative. Who are these critics who mark these articles? They need to be a bit more tolerant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skysong263 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
