đàn bầu

From the Encyclopedia of Vietnamese Music at PBwiki.

Also: độc huyền cầm, đàn độc huyền

The đàn bầu is a single-stringed instrument that consists of a long wooden board with one string that runs the entire length of the instrument. The string on one end is run into the instrument to a tuning peg; on the other end, it is tied to a flexible rod coming out of the wooden body and into a soundbox made from a hollowed gourd. The player uses a plectrum in the right hand, plucking while the base of the pinky is rested on a harmonic node; the left hand pushes and pulls the rod to change the tension of the string, creating intermediate pitches and ornamentation.

một dây căng giữa đất trời, cần nghiêng nghiêng tựa dáng người vươn lên (Thơ của Nguyễn Hải Phượng)

«một dây nũng nịu đủ lời, nửa bầu chứa cả một trời âm thanh » (Thơ của Văn Tiến Lê)
