The sound body of the erhu is a drum-<br> Yunnan Province picture - like little case usually made of ebony or sandalwood and snake skins in a hexagonal shape. The front opening is covered with python skin and the back opening is left open to amplify the vibrations of the strings. The erhu sounds similar to a human voice and can imitate many natural sounds such as birds and a horse.
