    Please do more tutorials and make a free youtube course. There’s not that many English tutorials, so I’m sure this will bring a lot of attention to your channel. Thanks!

    Wow I just want to say thank you! this beginner lesson really helped me so much . Also the tip on “letting your wrist lead” while playing the bow has helped me in a great way. All the way from tuning to playing the notes I feel I have followed you step by step. You don’t know how much I appreciate this 🙏 ☺️

    These tutorial videos are great! UA-cam doesn't have many videos of erhu tutorials and many videos seem to leave out many important details that people forget that beginners won't know. I hope you will make more tutorial videos and put them in one playlist in your channel to make them easier to find.

    I'm learning how to play this instrument! My biological parents are both Violinists, but I find the erhu to be way prettier. May try herdigerdi someday too. I have a beginner erhu.

    I only just received my erhu, and I want to learn properly, I know you hold two strings but do you press it with the bow or do you play one string at a time with the bow?

    Have I been playing the notes all wrong? Do you not press the top of the string? From the video it looks like the fingertip is placed on the side of the string and not the top. I'm very confused.

      I do press the top of the strings as you do. The fingertip is NOT placed on the side of the string.

    Can you teach how to produce a sound from the erhu? I just received mine and don't know why I cannot make sound.
    Also can you teach us how to tune?

      @rjstoneus Рік тому +1

      If you don't have enough rosin on the bow hairs then the hairs will just slide without making any sound. It seems to take a while to figure out how to get enough rosin on the bow without getting too much. I think maybe it's because different rosin is different in hardness especially depending on the temperature and stuff. Using sandpaper on the rosin can help get it started.
