The "haegeum" is a traditional Korean string instrument, resembling a fiddle. It has a rodlike neck, a hollow wooden soundbox, and two silk strings, and is held vertically on the knee of the performer and played with a bow.

The "haegeum" is related to similar Chinese instruments in the "huqin" family of instruments, such as the "erhu". Of these, it is most closely related to the ancient "xiqin", as well as the "erxian" used in "nanguan" and Cantonese music.

The "sohaegeum" (소해금) is a modernized fiddle with four strings, used only in North Korea. [http://b2b.seoulrecords.co.kr/image_M/00005230002.jpgphoto]
