How difficult is it to play the chinese violin 'erhu'?

Says, "The erhu has some unusual features. First is that its characteristic sound is produced through the vibration of the python skin by bowing. Second, there is no fingerboard; the player stops the strings by pressing their fingertips onto the strings without the strings touching the neck.

Third, the horse hair bow is never separated from the strings (which were formerly of twisted silk but which today are usually made of metal); it passes between them as opposed to over them (the latter being the case with western bowed stringed instruments). Lastly, although there are two strings, they are very close to each other and the player's left hand in effect plays as if on one string. "That sounds VERY difficult.Org/wiki/Erhu.

Haha thanks for your answer. Fluffypanda 20 days ago .

In order to play standing or walking. Of the instrument pointing up and outwards. Play sitted unless it's absolutely necessary.

Often used this method in order to play while walking. Such as birds and horse. For playing melancholic tune, but also capable of play merry melody.

Erhu often plays an important role in the national orchestras. Orchestras, there are usually 2 to 6 erhu, in larger ones, 10 with 12. Fact, the erhu plays the same role as the violin in the Western orchestras.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
