下面的材料从四个方面对二胡作了介绍，请筛选信息，保留各方面的主要内容，压缩成一段文字，不超过60个字。

　 二胡是中国的一种很奇妙的乐器，是胡琴的一种，比京胡大，也叫南胡。二胡的构造很简单：由一根长约80厘米的细细的木制琴杆、内外两根琴弦、琴杆下端的蒙着蟒皮或蛇皮的琴筒构成，琴筒呈茶杯形，用木或竹制成，蟒皮或蛇皮是制作二胡的重要材料；用马尾做的琴弓演奏，这与小提琴同样用马尾做琴弓是一样的。二胡声音低沉圆润，听起来略带忧伤，常用来表达比较深沉的情感。二胡产生的历史悠久，又比较容易学习，因此是深受中华民族喜爱的乐器，是中国民间普及率比较高的乐器。

解析：首先利用公式，确定主干句。二胡是一种乐器，“乐器”就是“二胡”的属性。根据题干“从四个方面对二胡作了介绍”，可以提炼出“二胡”的另外三个特征：①二胡的构造。②演出的材料及效果。③深受中华民族喜爱。然后嵌入公式，组成连贯的语句表达出来。
