Erhu can play in any key. Lowest note is 'D' (above the middle 'C' on the piano)

Ask Clyde nicely and he may send it to you. He did it for me.

The erhu strings are tuned the same as the middle two strings on a violin. On the violin, you can use the G string to go below the range of an erhu. For higher notes, you use the E string on a violin or move farther up the A string on the erhu. As my teacher put it, "The violin goes wide, the erhu goes long."

You are right, of course. From lowest to highest, the violin strings are G-D-A-E. I was typing faster than I was thinking (which isn't hard to do these days). Thanks for catching that. I have edited my other post accordingly. Dennis Last edited on Mon Jan 5th, 2009 12:57 am by dsouthwood ____________________ Music contains all of life. |
