Thank you for sharing this series with us, the ehru is easily my favorite instrument to listen to. I sadly have little to no musical experience with music outside of a couple years of elementary school lessons on a recorder, but wish I could learn how to play the Erhu out of any other instrument. One day I will perhaps dedicate time to study of musical theory before I take the plunge into playing, and I will definitely keep your store in mind. With gratitude from Canada.

I wish you would’ve played all of “Racing Horses” there at the end

Hi! Great videos and very helpful. Please enlighten me a bit, is it right to say that Shanghai dunhuang erhu have shanghai tone and liu ji feng erhu have beijing tones? And what about Yu Kai Ming's?

[@mothersgauri4137]

I hope someone can answer a question: It appears he is playing with the bow free ( not attached between the strings). If that is what he is doing, can anyone explain the difference..i.e. can the erhu be played with a free bow? I am just trying to learn, and it seems this "free bow" technique would be much easier? Thank you kindly for any response or tips on this.

[@EasonMusic]

Ani Fosler hi there! He’s actually playing with the bows attached between the strings. And it seems unlikely to play the erhu with a free bow, as it would be impossible to play the inner string. Hope this helps
