Best video I’ve found on this. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

Excellent! was able to follow your instruction easily and tie a new tianqin onto the erhu after the old string disintegrated. Perhaps a little too high up the neck but next time will try a little lower. Thanks for posting, much appreciated.

Glad it helped!

Thankyou for this video it is very helpful, I am learning Erhu but I need to get the qianjin right I had to buy more because the one that came with the Erhu was so short 😂

Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo. J'ai offert à ma fille un erhu et malheureusement elle a coupé le fil en pensant que c'était juste un lien 😱. Merci merci

Do you have a video for tying the qianjin on a JingHu?

[@EightTonesMusic]

Hi, Usually Jinghu qianjin is a metal hook, so no tying is required

[@PoulHansenDK]

@@EightTonesMusic On mine and others I have seen, the hook is tied on the Jinghu with string. media.eight-tones.store/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Zhang-Miao-Xipi-Jinhu-4.jpg

@@PoulHansenDK So sorry, I missed your message. I think it is a dead knot, so you rarely need to change it. The reason why we need to change qianjin for Erhu is because there is friction between the qianjin strings and erhu strings, however for jinhu, because of the metal hook, you rarely need to change it.

[@PoulHansenDK]

My string broke on and old one I just bought.

Quel fil me conseillez vous ? 🤔 Merci pour votre aide et vos vidéos 👍

How about creating a video in replacing the erhu bow hairs?

[@EightTonesMusic]

We typically don't replace bow hairs. It is too tricky a job. We send to the bow makers to do it.

Im planning to change my qianjin to a metal one, is it any good though? Does it have differences as compared to the traditional one?

[@EightTonesMusic]

You wouldn't want to scratch your Erhu with it, and it makes your Erhu sound metalic. Traditional one is better.

[@fatweevlogs]

@@EightTonesMusic I see, thank you for the suggestion

[@SeanChen1998]

How often should the qianjin be replaced? Whenever new strings are installed?

[@EightTonesMusic]

When the Qianjin gets loose, messy or looks like it is about to break.
