*''Chinese/Japanese'': 京胡 ''(jīng hú / kyouko)''
The ''jinghu'', or "capital fiddle," is a type of ''[[huqin]]'' or spiked fiddle typically played in ''[[jingju]]'' (Beijing opera) alongside the ''[[erhu]]'' and other instruments.
Up until the 19th century, the term ''jinghu'' was used interchangeably with ''huqin'', but today it refers more specifically to a particular type of fiddle, used as the main melodic instrument in the opera, and especially in accompanying male roles.
