Erhu

First of all, does anyone know this instrument? It's a traditional Chinese instrument. My question is, how is the music written for this instrument? Like, how are the notations being displayed? In tabs? Thanks.

As far as I've seen, you write notes on a staff just like for the violin. TAB would be awkward since the Erhu only has 2 strings.

Most modern-day performers on the erhu read Western notation.

I've heard it called a horse fiddle before, very interesting instrument

to extend this a little bit. How exactly do you notate for eastern music. What scale do they use to be more specific.

Interesting...

so, does anyone of you have any examples? like an image?

Google, Google Images, Wikipedia etc.

There's even an audio sample on the Wikipedia page. I'll leave you to locate that one for yourself. :P Quite a beautiful sound, all in all. Probably instantly recognisable and evocative if you've seen any samurai type films.

Oh ya, definitely, its easily recognizable. It's got this kind of Sad-ish, mournful sound, and I would love to learn a few notes lol.
