How to buy a good erhu? How to buy an erhu

In fact, the above answers are very complete, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see that they are really good, so it is better to find a professional, such as your erhu teacher, and ask him to buy it with you, which is very good.

My erhu was bought for me by my teacher.

Material: Suzhou. Old mahogany. Ebony at its best.

Shaft: The best of all wood.

Koto Horse: Wooden is best.

Bow: Choose one with few bamboo knots (no more than 2 knots), long and straight.

Bow hairs: preferably white before applying rosin.

2.Put a sponge or soft pile under the piano horse.

3.Do not touch the bow hair with your hands to avoid sweat and oil getting on it.

Listen to the timbre of the huqin.

The point is. It also depends on the material.

That's about it.

Hello, very high Zhaoyou socks Xing for your questions. 1. Choose the skin carefully: The choice of the skin determines the tone of the erhu.

First of all, don't choose snakeskin, the lowest grade erhu skin, and snakeskin is thin in texture, which is greatly affected by the external environment, and the timbre presented is poor. It is best to choose the skin on the back of the python, with bright color, uniform scales, rich in oiliness, and moderate thickness of the python skin. 2. Selection of wood:

Erhu wood is also exquisite, high-grade erhu must be better with mahogany, mahogany has a very high density. It is followed by red sandalwood, sour branch wood, wenge wood, etc., and then there is ebony, red sandalwood, etc., and the latter is miscellaneous wood. For beginners, a better wood ** is higher, if the current budget is low, recommend ebony, red sandalwood, etc., which belong to the middle and low range, but the timbre performance is also good, too poor wood do not choose, otherwise you will lose confidence in starting to learn.

3. Workmanship: A good erhu, the appearance is smooth and fast, the shape does not need to be too good-looking, the avenue is simple, simple and pleasing to the eye. The stock is not loose, the shaft is the same color, the skin is bright and crack-free, and the stem should not have scars, and the headstock and stem are not jointed.

4. SensitivityWhen selecting an erhu, push and pull the bow with great force to see how explosive it is and how sensitive the sound is. If you push and pull the bow but don't make a sound, it's not a good erhu. When pulling gently, no matter what angle, there is no "rustling" sound, which proves that this qin is "resistant" and is a good erhu.

5. The basic structure of the erhu is composed of headstock, shaft, stem, string, barrel, skin, bow, jack, holder, saddle and other components, among which the barrel is the resonance box of the erhu pronunciation, which directly affects the volume and sound quality.
