An Erhu is a traditional chinese instrument while the violin is western. Compared to the Erhu, the violin has more strings to it therefore making a sharper tone and and Erhu is more slim in comparison. Also, an Erhu needs to be played sitting down, settling its bottom on the players thighs.
Answered by a pure blood Chinese borned and raised in Beijing.
Based on my experiences, having used both instruments, I can say that a violin speaks. It has sharper tones and a clear range of sound that can be heard note for note. An Erhu sings, as in it's tones meld together to for a voiced quality of music that sounds almost human in nature. I've also noticed that Erhu's produce a sound that is melancholy in nature, and violins produce a more amiable sound. (Not that they cant both produce happy and sad sounds, but it's just something I've noticed at as generalization.)
you hold the erhu like a cello but on your lap when the violin is rested on your shoulder.
