I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time. I’ve seen them in Montreal, in South-East Asia, in Taiwan, in China… And last week was the time! My very first Erhu! I took a generic picture, my erhu looks a bit different than this one.
I just LOVE it!!! So far, it sounds like a strangled cat or a pig living its last atrocious moments on Earth, but I’m positive that in a few weeks I will be able to extract some decent sounds out of it! I was amazed to find so much information on how to learn Chinese traditional instruments online. There are forums dedicated to the subject and many Westerners are just like me: they’ve been fascinated by these beautiful musical instruments for a long time and decided to acquire one.
Now I need to find a teacher who’s patient enough to endure me!!!
Fun! Let me know when you can play a song
