All About Erhu

phankao:

Why? Not so tough, lah. I learnt violin at 39, fingers were ok.

Whoa....kudos to you. Tough.

Eh...somehow you dont get callous on the fingers while playing the violin, why? I think I should be learning it too since I have so many spare violins hanging at home. I am also keen on the erhu too.

Actually I did get some on my fingers, but briefly. I'm tough in that sense bc when I was a kid, I played the guitar, and each time I'd taken a \"break\" from playing for awhile, I'd get rough finger tips for a while, so I was familiar.

Hah - I have violin and erhu at home. Somehow I find that maybe I won't like the bowing of the erhu as much. These instruments are really all not easy. Piano is the easiest!

You have many full-sized violins at home, ah?

I sold away the smaller violins (well, there were only the 1/4 & the 1/2-sized ones) even though my son is using 3/4 now. I just wanted to clear up my storage. But after his little brother kept running after him to bow his violin, i now have a tiny 1/32 in the house. Thankfully it's small but keeps its tune fairly well!

Looking for one has my dd is learning the instrument as her school CCA. Sch provides one but dd cannot bring it home to practice.


Where can I get a new one and how much does an average one cost? Any brand to look out for? Sorry for the many questions as I am clueless on this. Thanks.

Go to Eason at Rochor Centre. http://www.eason.com.sg/


Note: I'm not related in anyway to them. I bought Yang Qin for my DD from them too.

Yup I go to eason to buy accessories for my erhu too, like strings, rosin etc. I didn’t get my erhu from them, but they’re pretty experienced and will advise you on the erhu suitable for you dd. You can direct all your questions to them.

Hi Jaiqing 老师,


I am interested in letting my son (5 years) learn, do we need to buy an erhu first? Can you private message me your rates if there is 2 children in a group.

We do not have any musical background.
