The Design

About Erhu Stull

Erhu ass e Stull, deen vum Erhu inspiréiert ass, engem traditionelle chinesesche Sträichinstrument. D'Design benotzt d'National kultur als Sprooch vun der moderner Miwwelgestaltung a fërdert e zäitgenëssesche chineseschen Stil. D'Struktur ass einfach a besteet nëmmen aus zwee Deeler: der Sëtzfläch an de Been. D'Réckelinn, d'Sëtzfläch an d'Virdeebeen bilden ee Stéck aus gebogenem Furnéiholz, dat an enger virgefäerdegter Form gepresst gouf. D'Uewerfläch ass mat Eschen- a Nossbamholz furnéiert, während d'Been aus Nossbamholz gemaach sinn. D'Form vun den Hannerbeen erënnert un déi huffërmeg Been vun der Ming-Stil Miwwelen. D'Kurve folgen dem mënschlechen Kierper.
