Some online shopping friends feel that they are not satisfied with the new erhu. It sounds good when they choose it in the video, but it doesn't sound good when they play it by themselves, and even the empty strings are not full enough. Was the sound processed on the video?

So why is the sound of the new erhu so unsatisfactory? Don't worry, let's understand the following questions first.

1. Don't be impatient

After getting the new erhu, you can debug it patiently. The debug here is not only about tonal accuracy, but also includes a series of preparations such as piano keys, piano pads, and rosin. Erhu is an act of self-cultivation, we can enjoy every link with the erhu, patiently and joyfully wipe the rosin to the front and back of the bow hair, and carefully select the piano code and sound pad suitable for the erhu. Because of individual preferences or performance needs, the choice of bridges and pads will also vary. A rule of thumb: If you like a thicker tone, it is recommended to use a slightly lower bridge; if you like a brighter tone, it is recommended to use a slightly higher bridge. In addition, the thickness of the sound pad material will affect the sound of the erhu. You can use more materials and try more until you find the feeling you like.

2. Calmness of mind

Many Hu friends have just bought a new erhu, and they have just installed the accessories, and even started to pull the rosin without even rubbing the bow, but what sounded in their minds was the performance of the performers that they had heard for a long time in the past. Those beautiful musical sounds frowned as soon as you pulled it, it was difficult to accept the sound, and even some Hu friends directly denied the erhu. The strings of the new erhu have never vibrated, and the tension has not been removed, so it is impossible to play the best. This is the reason why the new erhu occasionally has noise when trying to pull it. Note: the noise is not the wolf sound, and the noise can pass through two The rhythm of about an hour is removed cleanly, while the wolf sound is due to the pronunciation defect caused by the erhu production technology and cannot be removed. In addition, the skin of the new erhu did not vibrate, showing a variety of jerky sounds, and the sound will get better and better if you practice hard every day. A good qin depends on fate, and a really good qin is hard to come by. The timbre of the erhu varies widely, and even the timbre of the same type of erhu is very different. Find the one you like and play it out (open tone: play it every day) if you like it The sound of the erhu must have a good attitude, patience and calmness.

3. The road to opening

Generally speaking, the sound quality of a new erhu is impeccable as soon as you get your hands on it, which is not a good thing. Such an erhu will probably be used for less than a year, and the sound quality will begin to decline, and the sound will become more and more dull. very loose. Nowadays, many erhu manufacturers will loosen the skin of the new erhu in order to cater to consumers' hearts, so that as soon as customers get their hands, they can produce a tone that is thick and loud as if it had been opened for a year. A year's erhu. There is a world of difference. Because the python skin is loose, after a year of playing, the python skin becomes loose again, and it cannot produce the proper tone normally. And the new piano skin is tightly covered, and it can't play its best when you just get it, but as the player opens the tone, the result of opening the tone according to his own habits makes the python skin follow the player's playing habits. Vibration is produced, which is a combination, giving you the sound you want where it should sound. In this way, you can open your favorite tone from half a year to a year or so, and it will maintain good performance in the next ten to fifteen years or even twenty years. Of course, correct maintenance is also very important.
