Sanhu

The ''sanhu'' is a bowed string instrument with three strings. It was developed in the 1970s and is essentially a three-stringed version of the two-stringed ''erhu'', with an additional bass string.

The Yi people of the Yunnan province of southwest China play a large three-stringed traditional bowed instrument that is also called ''sanhu''.
