![How the Erhu is Made 探秘二胡制作：Inside Master Zhang Lian Jun's Workshop 张连均工作室内幕 [ENG SUB]中文](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LX-lyuBcBz8/mqdefault.jpg)
Was just watching a video of a guy painting a car and he made a mistake on a part. He looks to camera and says "the difference between a painter and someone who owns a paint gun is being able to fix problems."
About 15 years ago My family were guests at a Korean dinner and there was featured another guest who entertained us with an amazing erhu performance. I thought I could make one myself and did albeit a more simpler version (constructing the six sided box with oak flooring was no problem, it was gluing the animal skin that had me nervous...snake skin is traditionally used but I removed the skin from a junked pair of bongos and that worked great!) I did buy a bona fide erhu bow and I do occasionally fiddle around with it but I'm definitively not an erhu player
Right. It is an acoustic drum (banjo) with python skin typically and very simple. An interesting instrument
i enjoyed that drop in episode of "fixing dumb mistakes". i love that show!!!
It’s not my favorite, but I go back to it all the time.
Wonderful work! Thank you for making such an instrument so that I can hear wonderful music!🥰
Instruments from around the world amaze me. Some made from the oddest things too. Keep up the great work dude, the world needs more Tim's
Very interesting build & that is an instrument that I have never heard of Tim. Well done! 👍👍
This is a really cool instrument, and I love how you've made each one a little bit different. Fun to see traditional instruments made in a non-traditional fashion. Thanks for sharing!
each one is different because each one is custom made for the player, y'know?
Hey Tim, love your take on traditional instruments. Keep up the iconoclast meter, it's refreshing!
traditions are usually just the poison of progress :-p
Always enjoy seeing your style and imagination translated
into a new instrument.
Now that looks like a fun project! I might have to make one for me.
It's just lovely that you are winding your own pickups, so now you can make whatever is needed for any kond of instruments you make.
I don’t remember if I commented on your older videos in any detail, but the design of my own instruments is heavily inspired by the erhu. Unlike others who have attempted to convert a guitar-like instrument into something that can be bowed like a cello, I enjoyed the brainstorming process of placing a fretboard under the strings of an erhu, which conveniently has plenty of room for it. I’m still working on the idea to make it easily removed or swapped out with other fingerboards, either fretless or with custom non-Western scales.
Anyhow, I love seeing your process. Nice work!
here for the mistake-fixing! 💛
Great video. Nice work! Gorgeous. Mahalo for sharing!
Is that one of your songs? I like it!
Yeah it's got a proper Fugazi vibe to it. ❤
the main song is from this build: ua-cam.com/video/jxj9btPUEr0/v-deo.html and the interstitial music duing the mistake section is from my 2005 solo album
Nice job Tim.
181st view/29th LIKE - another funky Erhu instrument - cool.
I have two cigar boxes that is almost that shape mmm idea 😄
Tim!! I really enjoy your videos. The music in this one is so awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I make music too and its nice to truly be inspired by your work. I saw that you have a link to download the song. Thanks for that as well. I'm going to hit you up.
Ps. I just downloaded it and listened to it again! 😊
Thanks man!
Very cool 😎
Like deployed 👍
0:46 Mahogany?
I got that huge block of it from a basement clean out. It was heading for a dumpster!
@@timswaycrazy! That's a rare find.
@@Makebuildmodify not the first time, believe it or not. When some old woodworker passes away and the family is left with cleaning out their tools and hoards, the wood does not register as having value when next to a bunch of tools they gotta figure out how to sell... and there's already a dumpster in the driveway...
@@timsway Sadly that make sense. I wonder how much has be tossed.
Cool build, but cool music too.
What a lovely instrument Sir.
How do you deal with picking a scale length, then appropriate fret spacings for something like this?
Please ignore me if this is a dumb question. I know there are calculators available for common guitar scales, but did you pick a scale length out of the air, or is there a recognised scale length for some exotic instrument like this?
Scale is based on what the musician wants, really. Feet calculators can do any scale length you can imagine and solve the math quickly and easily.
Cool
Tim I ask this with peace and love but did you tune before recording the music for this video? 😭
So that song is from this video: ua-cam.com/video/jxj9btPUEr0/v-deo.html on my prototype bass vi. I have since moved the bridge back a little so I could intonate it better. Of course, the ones I sell have proper bridge placement :)
How did you learn how to make these instruments?
I bought a cheap one from ebay for size and scale reference and communicate with the player about what they want and need.
Wonderful footage........background horrible. I don't get the choice, sorry.
It's called "taste." Everyone's is different. Some people love it, some people hate it - some people went out of their way to buy the recording from me. And that's not only OK - it's great! If we all liked the same things the world would be very boring and vanilla.
