Suzhou Tiger Hill brand erhu, Taihu brand erhu If you want to choose an erhu, the first thing to see is what kind of wood it is made of. Generally speaking, mahogany, ebony, and rosewood erhu are the best. Then look at its python skin, the old python skin is better than the new python skin.
The new python skin is oily and the sound quality is not pure; Old python skin, sensitive pronunciation, pure sound quality. The scales are too small, the python skin is too thin and tender, and the pronunciation is thin; The grid is too large, the membrane is too hard, and the pronunciation is slow and obscure. Don't choose a python skin with large scales on one side and small scales on the other.
It is best to choose a python skin with uniform scale size, smooth scales, and moderate thickness of thickness. The choice of the bow is very important, the bow is too short to be opened; The bow is too thin, the pronunciation is light and weak; The bow is bulky and unfavorable for transporting the bow, so it is necessary to choose a moderate thickness, the tip of the bow and the thickness of the bow root are not much different, the bow rod should be straight and elastic, and the bow rod should have a bamboo joint, and the bow rod without bamboo is too soft and elastic. The bow hair of the erhu is divided into white horsetail and black horsetail, the black horsetail is thicker and harder, and the puller beard is better; The white ponytail is thinner and softer, and it is more suitable to pull the erhu.
There are two types of strings in the erhu: metal strings and silk strings. Metal strings not only produce bright sound, pure sound quality, and beautiful timbre, but also are not easy to break strings and go out of tune. These advantages of metal strings are also the disadvantages of wire strings, so metal strings are now commonly used instead of wire strings.
The jack of the erhu is generally made of wire rope and silk rope, which is tied between the strings and the stem. The width of the jack is very important, too wide and too narrow is not ideal for pronunciation, and it is not convenient for fingers to press the strings. Generally, the width of the jack (the distance between the string and the stem) is 1 5-1 8 cm, which is more appropriate.
The most advanced fixed jack on the market is also ideal for fixing on the string rod with screws. The saddle is also called the sound bridge. Because the materials used to make the saddle are different, the pronunciation is also different.
In terms of materials, there are bamboo and wooden (also divided into pine code, poplar code, pine code, mahogany code, ebony code, etc.). In terms of shape, there are hollow yards, solid yards, round yards, long yards, etc. Generally speaking, the pronunciation of bamboo saddles is crisp and bright, and the pronunciation of wooden is soft; The hollow code is louder than the solid code, and the sound of the solid code is thicker; The smaller saddle has a louder volume and a more empty pronunciation, while the larger saddle has a smaller volume but a softer pronunciation.
There are also paper roll codes and pencil yards. The pronunciation of mahogany and ebony codes is ideal, but there is no ** on the market, so I have to make it myself.
