Two strings then run from the pegs down the stem and over a wooden bridge placed in the center of the horn before attaching to the stem at the bottom of the horn. A cotton thread in the middle of the stem is tied around the strings. The total length of the chiwang is around half a meter in length and 4cm in diameter.
The chiwang is played with a bow made of dried bamboo threaded with horse tail.
Rayon is rubbed on the horse tail in order to produce a better sound. The string towards the right is tuned to “la” and the left is tuned to“mi.” The fingers of the left hand press the strings in order to produce additional notes while the right hand bows.
