Topic: Can haz ErhuTeq? Or perhaps StringTeq?

Hi there Guys and Dolls,

i very much love the sound of the Erhu, a two-stringed bowed traditional Chinese Musical instrument.

Especially in conjunction with piano sounds, like in this example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foanqc-M4hw&t=87s

As Pteq already includes some instrument presets with combined piano & strings sound,
i wonder if perhaps Modartt could put some more effort into modeling bowed instruments, like for instance my favorite - the Erhu  -  and / or other strings too?

So that hey might come up with an Erhu-Instrument or perhaps a whole new Stringteq?

Would anybody else here like to see / hear / play something like that?

What are your thoughts and ideas on this?

Interesting idea. I’m a fan of Chinese instruments, especially the erhu and its “ethnic minority” (from a Han Chinese perspective) relatives. Not sure it’s a good fit for Modartt — but years ago I didn’t think Arturia should branch out into hardware so I’m not much of a judge of such things. ⁎grin⁎

The video in the OP’s post does not feel like the traditional erhu sound I know, though.  This one here does:

@ iternabe Great find! And i agree.

I just did a quick search for a vid that had Erhu AND Piano in it as an example for my post.

There are lots more classy and beautiful Erhu songs to find on the interwebs.

Imho it's quite fascinating, what a skilled player can do with a two stringed instrument like the Erhu:
