Open Strings of Huqin

Almost every huqin only 2 strings, one inner, one outer. And for Erhu(Terra), the inner string is D4 or dand the outer string is A4 or a1. For Gaohu(Terrin), the outer string is G4 or g1 , the inner string is D5 or d2. For Zhonghu(Terron), the open strings are one octave lower then Terrin’s, they are G3 or g(outer) and D4 or d1(inner).

So, generally, the pairs of open strings of huqin are as follow:
Erhu       (Terra): DA - exactly the same D with Terron
Gaohu   (Terrin):GD
Zhonghu(Terron):GD - 1octave lower than Terrin.
