Hello. Last summer I was in Shanghai with family (i'm half Chinese) and one of my relatives kindly bought an Erhu for me at about 1000 RMB ($140 USD or so). I am firmly skilled at guitar and intermediate music theory, however I cannot seem to really understand this instrument. I am not sure if the fact that I cannot generate pleasing tone is due to my unfamiliarity with fiddle type instruments, or a lack in quality of the erhu, or a combination of both.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
谢谢大家 .
