How to skip the harmonic-like wolf-tone on the erhu.

[@fatweevlogs]

Woooww thank you so much for having made this video, exactly what I need.

[@musichong]

@@fatweevlogs thanks! You also need to check your strings and bridge, low quality string and unsuited bridge may cause the wolf tone.

[@fatweevlogs]

@musichong hmm this leads to another problem, how to check the quality of the bridge and the strings, and does the little piece of cloth under the bridge have anything to do with the wolf sound or the harmonics? My harmonics sound problem occurs on lower notes though, and it is not always present, but when it does, it stays on that note on that particular day, and it usually gies away the next day.

@@fatweevlogs Don't worry about it, I will make another video.😄

@@musichong thank you, 老师, it will help a lot, I am sure

Your english was perfectly understandable. Thanks for these tips! What are those levers you flick down to lower the pitch?

[@musichong]

@@PracticaProphetica around high octave.

@@musichong I didn't understand you. I'm looking for the name of those levers, the mechanical things. Most Erhu's just have the strings tied with some thread to the neck. But you have two levers, that you flip up and down to lower or raise the open pitch of the strings. Is that a special Erhu? or a Zhonghu?
Later...Okay I watched your other video, and now I see this is a custom-made instrument. Very exciting!

@ the levers just like violin nuts, but there are two could flip up and down, and also removable to any position on the track.
