First of all, the most basic way is to hold the piano with the left hand and press the strings, the right hand to draw the bow, and place the bow hair in the double strings to play.

Erhu playing skills and methods

sitting position

1. The midline of the body is inclined to the left, so that the center of gravity falls to the left side of the body.

2. With your back straight, sit upright on one-third of the stool.

Holding a Bow (Wrong Way to Hold a Bow)

1. The position of holding the bow is too close to the bow head or too close to the middle bow.

2. The bow is too deep into the bottom of the tiger's mouth, so that the bow is strangled in the tiger's mouth and cannot move flexibly.

3. When holding the bow, the fingers are too "droopy" downward, so that the bow rod is pressed against the piano barrel and rubbed, and the bow hairs leave the piano barrel and move upwards instead.

4. When playing the outer string, the middle finger and ring finger are taken out from between the bow shaft and the bow hair, and then stretched in when the inner string is played.

5. The position of the thumb is incorrect when holding the bow.

6. When holding the bow, the middle finger stretches too far between the shaft and the bow hair, making it useless both inside and outside.

7. Hold the bow too tightly, resulting in thick calluses on the base of the index finger, the inside of the first joint of the thumb, and the outside of the first joint of the middle finger. Some people mistakenly think that this is "Kung Fu", but it is actually a mistake in the method of holding the bow.

8. When pulling the erhu, the bow should not be tilted upwards, which will lead to bad sound.

hold the piano

1. The piano barrel is placed in the middle of the left leg by mistake, instead of the position where the base of the left leg is close to the lower abdomen.

2. The piano bar is too inclined left or right; too forward or adducted.

3. In the first position, the tiger's mouth on the left hand is too far away from a thousand jins.

4. The left arm lacks the proper support, and is clamped by the tiger's mouth and hung on the piano rod.

5. Bend your thumb down to hook the piano bar.

6. When holding the piano, the palm of the left hand is close to the piano bar, and the fingers "lie down" and press the strings upside down.

7. Excessive bending of the finger joints, touching the strings with the tips of the fingers (even with the fingernails).

8. Reflexed finger joints, especially the first joints of the middle finger, ring finger and little finger.

9. The fingers (especially the ring finger and the little finger) do not press the string from the front of the string (from the string to the direction of the piano bar), but from the outside of the string (from the string to the body direction), so that only the outer string is pressed, The inner string is in a virtual pressing state, which often results in a wolf sound.

10. When playing, keep your fingers "hanging" above the phoneme and not relax.

11. When one finger is on the string, the fingers below it are curled in the palm.

12. When holding the piano, the upper arm is raised too much, which makes the left arm in a tense and unnatural state.

When playing, you should take more sitting postures. When you are on parade or when you need to perform, you can add hooks and hang them around your waist to stand and play.

Anyone who studies Erhu knows that rosin is an essential auxiliary material for playing erhu. In modern erhu, rosin is applied to the bow to increase the friction of the bow hair, increase the friction on the strings, so that the erhu makes a normal sound, basically, if the rosin is not properly applied, the friction of the erhu bow on the strings is usually slippery and difficult to make a sound, so it can be said that the auxiliary material of rosin is crucial for the erhu.
