Erhu pitch problem How to tune the erhu?

When I tune it, I use a tuner. You must have practiced less etudes, even on scales! Recommend Liu Changfu's anthology of etudes, not everyone has talent in pitch, take your time and practice slowly with a metronome.

Don't rush to play the tune! I believe you will be more and more successful! Be sure to start with the simplest etude and work your way up to the norm!

Listen carefully while connecting, not afraid of simplicity! Come on! The metronome is used to beat the beat, and the speed of the etude practice should be strictly controlled, 60 80 is the most suitable.

It's good to practice more. The 15 you say is in D and 26 is in C, which are the same two tones but different in tonality. Buy a timpani and try it, the inner and outer strings of the erhu are D and A. There is also a trial singing ear training, or a sound base, these courses are helpful for ** cultivation

Listening is good if you practice more and listen more. After a long time, it will get better. You can do some listening lessons every day.

Regarding the erhu when playing 1 5 is just the d key mentioned above in our erhu, the strings should be set on the piano with two tones of 2 6 (da), which is generally the standard tone of our erhu.

At first, I couldn't hear it like you, but now I can hear it accurately, you buy a tuner to tune it first, and slowly learn not to play with it, this erhu is to feel it with your heart, and slowly find inspiration, it will be better, I'm also an amateur, but now I can pull myself to have a sense of satisfaction.

Thank you for sharing with people who like erhu.

Friend, it seems that you are not very suitable for learning**, engaging in ** is talented, and the ear voice is not good.

The erhu's strings are in C major on the piano 2 6 The pitch problem is that you can do it slowly and pull the scale, and the scale is still very important.

Have you ever learned to practice your ears? I learned sight-singing while learning an instrument, which was very helpful.

In the past, the teacher helped me tune it, but then I bought a tuner, and then I slowly felt a little ......

1. Approximate tune:

Erhu tuning can be done with the help of standard articulators (whistles, tuning forks, timpani), when the outer string pitch is a (440Hz) of a group of standard small characters, in the D key of erhu is 5 (so). In the same way, the inner strings are tuned to the D note, which is the 1 (do) note of the D key of the erhu.

2. Fine tuning:

Select the mode of the electronic tuner as "Erhu Tuning Mode", place it near the erhu barrel, and then pull the slow longbow of the outer string with a relatively even force. The hands oscillate left and right on the meter according to the subtle changes in the tone. The pointer is between 0 and -50, and the red light is on, indicating that the sound is low; On the contrary, the red light is on, indicating that the tone is high; When the pointer is in the middle 0 position and the green light is on, the pitch is up.

Erhu tuning is a two-step process, and the specific steps are as follows:

1. Approximate tuning: Use the A sound (440h) of a group of small characters of the standard pronunciation device (timpani, whistle, tone, etc.) as the standard tone, which is the 5S tone in the D key.

Then, according to your own judgment of the bottom of the outer strings, by rotating the erhu (low or high or loose strings) of the outer strings, the rotation amplitude should not be too large, and at the same time listening to the sound of the erhu, slowly adjust the outer strings to the same pitch as the standard tone.

2. Fine tuning: Select the mode of the electronic tuner as "Erhu Tuning Mode", place it near the erhu barrel, and then use a relatively uniform force to pull the slow longbow of the outer strings, and observe the tuner while pulling the strings.

A1Let the tuner pronounce the sound first, first pronounce the 5 notes of the outer strings, and then listen to your ears according to your ears, and slowly tune the 5 notes close to the 5 notes of the tuner while turning the shaft of the outer strings.

2.Then the tuner tunes to the program of listening, pulls the empty string of the outer string, and then looks at whether the pointer on the tuner is aligned a, some pointers will show green when the tone is more accurate, and red when the tone deviation is large, but try to tune the line in the middle where the pointer points to the most standard. (Because on the way to play the piano, sometimes the tuned tone is not accurate because the fingers press the strings too hard, or the shaft is relatively sent.)

3.Then follow the above method to adjust the tone of the inner strings.

4.The outer strings are facing outwards and the inner strings are facing inwards so that the two strings don't get too close together.

It is best to have a timpani, keyboard instrument, or harmonica flute or other tool or instrument where you can find the standard tone (a), usually in the inner D (C major 2 notes) and the outer string A (C major 6 notes). Or buy an electronic tuner and you're done, and there's tuning software and stuff like that. Otherwise, find the relative pitch and press the 15 strings, so that the tone of the outer string and the empty string is the 5th tone of the inner string.

It is generally possible to solve the problem with fine tuning without moving the shaft.

Here's how to tune in general:

If the piano is a wooden shaft, after holding the piano normally, the left thumb against the bottom of the piano shaft (hemispherical end) to prevent the shaft from loosening during tuning, hold the shaft with four fingers, and turn it back and forth (the string is tight pitch, the string is loose and low) If the hand is big enough, it is best to press the little finger across the stem and press on the other end of the shaft, also to prevent the shaft from loosening. The inner and outer chords are not on the same side, one is on the outside and the other is on the inside, so the direction of rotation of the tightness is also different (the outer chord is tightened inside, and the inner chord is reversed), so don't turn it wrong. In addition, the tuning should not be too violent, be steady, and take your time, otherwise the strings will easily break and you will miss the correct note.

As for whether it is high or low, it depends on your own feelings, and slowly develop the concept of pitch.

If the copper twist tuning is much more convenient, after the normal posture of holding the piano, the left hand holds the piano shaft to tune, but the direction of rotation of the tightness is the same (inner rotation loose), when turning can also be bold and casual, otherwise according to the degree of rotation of the wood shaft in the copper twist experiment for half a day almost unchanged. Of course, don't overdo it.

The left hand is tuning, and the right hand is holding the bow to listen to the sound.

Inside d and outside A, you can follow any musical instrument tune, you can also buy a tuner, I bought more than 100, there are also cheap, more than 20 can be bought, just start to tune, one is not accurate, the other is not moving, when tuning, to buckle the thumb on the stick, otherwise the shaft will be loose over time or even pulled out, the strength of the words to cleverly turn, if only a little bit, can neither be adjusted up nor down, you can tie a small jack on the jack, is a thread. Hope it helps!

Traditionally, the inner string of the erhu tuning is set to the 2 of the C key (RE tone), and the outer string of the open string is set to the 6 of the C key (La tone). You can use other instruments with a fixed key, such as flutes, harmonicas, and keyboard instruments, to find the standard tone and tune it.

Inner chord D (293 Hz), outer chord A (440 Hz). Use tuners, pianos, harmonica, you can do it. If you don't have these things, you can practice at will, as long as you do it well, the outer string is five degrees higher than the inner string.

In other words, if you tune any pitch on the inner strings, and you sing do, use this as a reference, and when the outer strings are tuned to so, you are accurate. It is recommended to rely on the ear, even if you use a tuner or something, set one and listen to the other. Bowed string instruments are meant to play with ear power.

There is no future in relying solely on tuners...

How to operate erhu tuning.

It's better to have a tuner. Then set the inner strings, and then tune the outer strings according to the inner strings.

Recommended mobile phone software for learning erhu essential tuners.

The four basic elements of pitch, pitch (rhythm), intensity, and timbre are among the four basic elements of a bowed string instrument, and pitch, that is, pitch, is the most important. So how should the erhu pitch be controlled? Let's find out!

The erhu and other stringed instruments such as the violin and the gaohu must rely on hearing and fingers to control the pitch, unlike the piano and dulcimer, which have a fixed position, so the intonation requirements are not easy to meet. Erhu is also a kind of multi-rhythm mixed use of national stringed instruments, in different pieces of music in the height and way of pitching, the requirements of the rhythm are not the same, so the performance of the pitch in addition to the general standard (twelve equal temperament), but also depends on the different key of the music, the tonality and different styles and charm. For example, "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", "Caprice of the Great Wall" or "Bird Casting Forest" in Guangdong**, and "Jackdaw Playing in the Water" in Chaozhou**, the pitch requirements are different, and the relationship and distance of the interval also vary depending on the music.

Of course, for both beginners and experienced performers, the 12 equal temperament should be the most basic concept of pitch. This is very different from the violin and cello. When the violin encounters a chromatic relationship, the two fingers are as close together as possible, that is, the chromatic distance is less than the chromatic interval of the piano.

There are two main reasons for the poor control of the pitch of bowed string instruments, one is the defect of the ability to argue, that is, the inability to pull is not known. The ability to distinguish sounds is mainly formed by congenital, and people with congenital deficiencies can tolerate cracks to train their ears by listening to recordings regularly and using instruments with fixed pitch such as piano and yangqin. Although acquired efforts can help, they are often ineffective, especially when you are a little older, and it is better to choose some instruments with a fixed pitch.

Another reason for poor pitch control of bowed string instruments is technical unproficiency and improper mastery of methods. In other words, the sound is not accurate but does not adjust one's fingers in time. Therefore, in order to achieve the right tone, you must have a keen sense of hearing and skilled finger control, both of which are indispensable, and the following are some precautions and basic methods to control the pitch.

The first step is to tune the zero string note of the pure fifth, and then press the upper position with the index finger, for example, the inner and outer string notes of the pure fifth of the string octave higher. If the zero string note is accurate and the fifth of the upper position is too large or too small, there are two main reasons; First, the internal and external strings are produced by different manufacturers, and one of the strings must be replaced in order to unify the front acre. The second is that the inclination angle between the inner and outer strings from the jack to the tuning shaft and the stem is too large, and it must be readjusted to the same time.

The tone of the erhu is d2--g2, which is the so-called re--la.

The inner and outer chords of the erhu are d2--g2, which is the so-called re--la. Tonality is the phoneme defined by two strings. Nowadays, there are seven basic ones, which are:

C (26 strings), D (15 strings), E (7 4 strings), F (63 strings), G (52 strings), A (41 strings), B (37 strings).

Ways to learn erhu from scratch:

The most important skill to get started with erhu is practice, Dan argues that erhu is a stringed instrument, the sound is made by pressing the strings with the left hand, and the right hand pulling the bow causes the skin to vibrate, and keyboard instruments, guitars, guzheng and other musical instruments are different, each key or fret of these instruments corresponds to a standard tone, as long as the rhythm is mastered, then the notes played are right.

Erhu is different, there are no keys and no frets, the correctness of the notes has a lot to do with the person who plays the qin, first of all, you have to practice the ear sound, generally I recommend that beginner erhu friends, listen to the sound of the piano or electronic organ, which has a very great benefit to erhu learning.

The learning of erhu generally starts from the most basic music reading, and it is also very important to learn erhu music reading, mainly simple music reading, reading music stove dates, singing music, and notation This process is not particularly fast, and it takes a lot of time to practice. <>
