Erhu, as a wooden bowed instrument, cannot be mass-produced like other 3C products, and maintains a high ratio of stability. On the contrary, like people, everyone has a unique sound quality of their own, even if it is difficult to distinguish at first glance. The similar voice, in fact, after careful identification, you can still be distinguished from me.

 

 

Just like when buying fruit, you always have to pick and choose among a bunch of fruits to choose the sweeter one, right? It may sometimes succeed and sometimes fail, but the more experienced mother or fruit stand owner can always pick the sweetest among them! This is where experience is worth the importance!The main materials of the erhu are wood and snakeskin, both of which are natural materials. You can’t find another erhu with the same pattern of wood or snakeskin! This means that if there are 30 pieces in this musical instrument store and the price is 50,000 yuan, and the same luthier is also made of old mahogany, it is absolutely impossible for you to find exactly the same erhu in it.

. If you have no idea about erhu, you will be easily deceived and spend a lot of money! So when you want to buy an erhu on the Internet or in a musical instrument shop, how high is the probability that you will buy one of these 30 erhus that will be ranked in the lower end?

A good teacher can help you pick out the erhus with individual characteristics at the top of the 30 erhus based on experience, while teachers with inexperience or low professional ethics are likely to help you pick the erhus at the bottom. At this time, would you gamble your money like a gamble? Or choose to believe in a truly professional teacher?

This is why you can always find erhus that are priced very high but are willing to sell them to you at a very favorable discount or auction price on the Internet or at a musical instrument store by yourself. Buy the erhu that they can't sell smoothly! Just met someone who doesn't understand, and you also like this erhu after talking about it in a few words. If you don't take advantage of this time, when will you wait?

 

 

 

The price of the erhu mainly comes from the materials used and the reputation of the maker. Generally, the most common materials used for good pianos are old mahogany, red sandalwood and other woods. Since the wood is of high grade, the matching snakeskin and other accessories are not bad. Will be sloppy. As for why pianos made by famous teachers or big brands are so expensive, of course, just like fashion boutique brands, some of them are the persistence in the production process and the quality and reputation guarantee that has been tempered for more than ten years. In recent years, more and more people have joined the ranks of making erhus. Among them, there are many erhus with beautiful appearance and high-quality materials, but they are flashy handicrafts when you pull them. The timbre performance is not proportional to the materials used. , what a pity. In fact, the real problem is that the erhu is a musical instrument after all, and the most important thing is the sound and sensitivity when playing, and it is precisely this that requires years of experience and an understanding of the timbre of the erhu to maintain a stable level of violin making . The real estate market has the problem of real luxury houses and fake luxury houses, and the erhu market is also the same, so it is definitely not possible to judge good or bad by appearance alone.

 

 

 

My favorite analogy is to take the camera as an example.When choosing a camera, a few thousand yuan point-and-shoot camera, a ten-thousand-dollar SLR camera, and a tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of high-end cameras can always satisfy consumer groups with different depths of pockets and different degrees of aesthetic pursuit. The same is true for the erhu. I usually advise students to buy the highest-grade erhu within their budget, instead of spending thousands of dollars on a "toy" handicraft to play with. Erhu can get twice the result with half the effort.If you don’t have the confidence to invest too much budget at the beginning, of course, you should find the right teacher and choose the erhu with high CP value to start getting started.

 

 

 

Many friends still have the myth that "the erhu is a cheap musical instrument, and the uncle next door to my grandfather's house makes his own erhu"! With the rise of China, the materials and craftsmanship of high-end block erhus have become more and more exquisite, even advertised as limited collections, and the prices have continued to hit new highs. It is no longer the low-end erhu that Park Park made himself. I believe that with the rarity of high-grade wood becoming more and more difficult to obtain, and the rise of more and more new wealthy classes in China, the market for erhu will become more and more unattainable like classical violin! If you don't just want to have it, it seems to be a good choice in the long run to enter the venue early to grab a famous teacher's piano, because after a few years, you can only buy a famous teacher's piano of the same level at several times the price. Bought.
