	Gaohu -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Gaohu, also called High-pitched Erhu or Yue-Hu, is especially designed for playing Cantonese folk melodies and operas.
		Gao-Hu is often used for performing vivid and brisk rhythms, particularly for higher-pitched tunes that Erhu cannot play.
		In comparison with Erhu, Gao-Hu has louder volume yet brighter tones, and thus it servers both as solo and leading instrument in performing Cantonese operas and folk melodies.

		The gaohu ("high-pitched huqin") was developed from the erhu by the famous Cantonese musician Lu Wencheng 吕文成(1898 - 1981), in order to complement the erhu with a higher and brighter tone.
		Although there are less gaohu players than erhu players in a modern Chinese orchestra, the gaohu players usually sit closer to the audience, and the Gaohu Principal frequently serves as Concert Master.
		Unlike the erhu and its derivatives - the gaohu and zhonghu - the banhu ("wooden-board huqin") has a short, round sound box that opens at the back, and a wooden soundboard rather than a python-skin cover.

		Moyer plays the Gaohu (Cantonese high-pitched fiddle), the Taiwanese Coconut Shell Fiddle, and the Erhu (standard Chinese two-stringed fiddle).
		Moyer has always been attracted to the living folk music traditions - music which can be heard many mornings in the parks and teahouses of Chinese communities yet which is rarely represented on recordings or in formal performances.
		While working in Taiwan in 1996, he played the Coconut Shell Fiddle regularly with 78-year-old fiddler Zhang Shi-Dong, learning by rote Taiwanese folk tunes, folk opera pieces, and ancient religious and court songs which have been passed down through the Chinese oral tradition.
