Hello Mr Hong, thank you for your interesting. video. I am beginner since end of October 2024. My teacher changed the strings on his Erhu and now the sound is warmer like an Alto sound. I like it very much and didn't know that by only string changing that the sound could change like that 😀

15:41 Is the "Yi Xuan Yi Ping" brand of erhu strings that you mention in this video available in North America?

The length of a string from bridge to nut is usually called vibrating string length or sounding string length.

多谢展示新款二胡，很好的改善，请问这个胡䏻换上高胡弦来玩广东音乐？你能介绍一些广 东高胡吗？

Who would have thought that the skin doesn't need to be glued to the soundbox to produce a good sound? It seems like a revolutionary idea.

It sounds awesome! In some rare circumstances, I think erhu players may want to tune higher than D-A, to E-B, or possibly even higher.

I thought my erhu was bad, but its just new and needs breaking, thanks shifu!

Thank you now I am more confident to pass my grade 6 exam

thank you for the advice sir!

Dear Mr Hong, where can I buy a D key Bawu please? I live in Luxemburg,Europe Thank you

Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏 I started yesterday with the Erhu. I used to play Violin but can't do it anymore because of a back problem. Your tips helps me. Much thanks🙏🙏🙏

素晴らしい！

洪老师，我能向你请教 NAF 相关的知识吗？通过什么方式可以联系上您吗？谢谢🙏

The couch behind you is very nice.

很棒的設計！請問一把多少錢？我人在美國。謝謝

How loose should the bow hair be?

To much about your speak english then how to play that instrument.

How can I buy mine I am in Nigeria I love this instrument

老师请用二胡演奏歌曲《画我》

Hello, thanks you for your video. We are wondering how to separate the flute from the gourd because it seems to be united. We think that we have the problem you are explaining but we are afraid to broke it. The ring is too strongly holding the bamboo. Do you have a suggestion? Thanks

Hi Mr. Hong! Your videos have been very great and helpful to me starting to learn the Erhu! I have one question, is it okay if I rest the bamboo of the bow on the sound box? I notice some of the stain coming off of the bow onto it and it had me wondering if I am supposed to keep it off or not. Thanks!

Beautiful music! Thank you for explaining the differences and similarities in both sound and construction of these beautiful instruments. I have had the privilege to see a Lakota flute performance in college which was amazing. Sharing music joins people of all different cultures together in friendship!

Liquan Qin is using the strings the same as the erhu, 利泉琴用的是二胡弦，但是“一弦一品”这个牌子不错，内外五度音准较好。

May I ask what is the music you are playing at 03:13-16? I've been very interested in learning a piece like that! It reminds me of fiddle runs. Great instrument I like the tuners are they locking? Best to you, Mike

I'd never heard of tuning the SKIN.

Wonderful! Innovating a classic instrument!

Wonderful. So beautiful

Very impressive

I love it. At $1300 and professional grade it's a little above my beginner status. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

It's interesting that this erhu doesn't have a wolf tone; my first erhu teacher showed me that this sound usually occurs on the tritone (augmented fourth) above the open outside string.

At 06:10, did you mean to say that you asked the designer to add scales to the back of the snakeskin (as well as the front) in order to improve the instrument's timbre? I always wondered whether the scales had an effect on an erhu's sound. It looks like the synthetic skin on the erhus used by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra doesn't have scales at all.

If you use the screws to tune the snakeskin "drum" to the same pitch as the inside (low) string, it makes the sound of the erhu better?

This looks amazing, how much are they worth?

The next generation of this instrument, with a new name: v=72WQBBv1b1Q

Is this the same kind of instrument that you demonstrated in a video from January 8, 2022, which was called "Ma shi kuo diyin erhu" (马氏扩低音二胡, expanded low range erhu produced by the Ma family)?

It is so piao liang

Thank you Mr. Hong for sharing your knowledge. Is it possible to add subtitle in English for other viewer ?

Can the reed be replaced with a new one?

this is so helpful! Thank you so much!! ❤️

This was the Erhu lesson of my dreams. Thank you for being you :)

So greateful for your video! I just picked up the Erhu a few hours ago and watched this and a past video to find out the grips, techniques and getting those strong notes to sound out without wavering (it will be quite a while to get that mellow and sophisticated sound). The way you explain makes sense and I was able to overcome issues faster. Never thought about using Chi, however I kind of get it (piano and guitar player). You're a big encouragement and really make the Erhu sing so beautifully, thank you!

"I'm not a teacher..." That is the best teacher for me! I learned a lot of this video, e.g. about the Chi... great difference in sound.

Thank-you!

您的理解很到位感谢分享

The Legend of korra is what got me wanting to learn the erhu or zhonghu. Is it the email in your description where I would talk to you? Do you still sell instruments?

Excellent video!! Thank you!! I have watched a lot of erhu videos and very few of them get into the tiny nuances that you demonstrate in this one video. I do wish that I could see your right hand the entire time when you play to see any changes your fingers make with bow holding as you switch from inner string to outer string. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

great tutorial, thank you very much, it cleared up many of my confusions, so press the bow string with the middle and index fingers to play the inner string, press the bow with the thumb to player the outer string

Thanks very much for posting this. I just received two Bawu's (one transverse and one end-blown). The transverse one had some problems with buzzing and with the low note being "buzzy" and a bit sharp. I'll try some of your techniques.

Thank you king¡❤
