A famous rendition of “To Love’s End” from Inuyasha is one of Eliott Tordo’s many covers recorded on this instrument. The Naadam festival is evoked by a piece for this (*) fingerboard-less instrument called “Horse Racing.” This instrument is a common substitute for the solo instrument in the Butterfly Lovers Concerto. This is the most popular instrument whose unique timbre is produced by a soundbox covered in python skin and a bow that passes through its strings. For 10 points, Liú Tiānhuá played what two-stringed fiddle? ■END■
