Sound on an Erhu is produced by rubbing a bow made of horsehair against two strings (usually made of steel) while simultaneously pressing down with the fingers to change the pitch of the notes. The vibrations from the strings resonate through the body of the instrument, creating a distinct and haunting sound.

Why wasn't the erhu suitable for the orchestra?

Erhu is not suitable in the orchestra, because it only has 2 strings, and symphony compsitions for the violin are usually going beyond the 2 strings that the erhu has, which is middle D and A. The other reason may be, the materials used to make the erhu: the bow of the erhu is made of horsetail, and the soundbox of the instrument is made of snake skin. Therefore, it makes the 'voice' of the erhu sound melancholy, and occasionally it may sound like somebody crying. Thus, it is not suitable to be in an orchestra. But rather, a Chinese orchestra.
