+Preston Hav It is very hard to learn Erhu : )

+Plum thrive I know but it would be nice to learn how to play this instrument

Lean Low of hellish slavery.

+ramirolin And the Chinese tones that you don't find on Western fretboard instruments....

Erhu can be traced back roughly 1400 years not 4000. Also all the "chinese tones" can be played on any western instrument. Chinese music is often pentatonic scales which can be played on any diatonic or chromatic instrument. Youre probably thinking of indian scales and microtones.

@@RowdyClouds Likewise all western tones can be played on Chinese instruments.

@@Bangy Most of them yes. Only exception would be instruments like the dizi and guzheng which are made for a pentatonic scale unless you had one custom made to a western scale. Those are the only two I can think of

the instrument is called an erhu. It's an ancient chinese instrument. It's a very beautiful instrument and one of my personal favourites! :)

Martin the bloody idiot Hill, I stumbled upon your comment here, you showed the world what an idiot you are.

James Tang Thanx Mr Tang, ur message is a little to late cos in the last 2 mnts I have studied chinese culture and their music and I think that I have listened to so much erhu music that I planning to buy one. So dont judge pls Mr Tang, I even have a collection of Erhu songs, my favorite is from Guo Gan and I am playing it for my friends in Africa. Moon Reflected on Erquan Pond is my ringtone, I am now a master in Erhu history.

Martin Hill I said u learnt so many things, but i think u should learn how to respect others and apologise for ur own rudeness first before talking abt anything else.
