Many erhu amateurs ask on the Internet how to wind the erhu. Winding the erhu is a meticulous process. Today I will teach you how to wind the erhu.

After the small loops of the strings are put on the small screws at the bottom of the piano holder, pass through the small holes of the piano shaft, twist the piano shaft, and wind the strings around the piano shaft one by one, because it is not only a circle, sometimes There are as many as seven or eight circles. A string that has been wound several times without care will fall off. When you rewind it again, often the string that is already in a circle will be twisted when it is wound again, and sometimes it will be twisted more than once. It is a steel wire with other materials wrapped around it. After twisting the steel wire a few times, the outer material will also be twisted, so it is either tight or loose! In this way, the structure of the string has changed a lot. Of course, the sound quality will be greatly affected! Of course, be careful not to twist the strings when winding the strings.

A little trick that easily won't let you twist the strings. You can try, after passing the string through the hole in the shaft, bend the protruding point, and the loose string will not come out of the shaft. Then wrap a rubber band around the string once or twice and tie it to the shaft. At this time, if you wind the strings again, the strings will not come out easily. Once you've wrapped the strings a little tighter, cut the rubber band with scissors, clean it up, and tune the strings.

Erhu has some sound quality problems, which may be caused by twisting the strings, especially the noise of the open strings, which is caused by the fact that you have not paid attention to twisting the strings. Twisted strings, even new ones, are basically scrap. I often don't care, and I can't remember when I twist the strings. Looking for faults from here and there, it is actually the reason why the strings are twisted.
