This is my first time hearing about this instrument and the sound is so amazing, it's so alive...

What do you think??

I think you should come spend a day with me in SF Chinatown. You'd love the street artists there. :)

I love the erhu when it's played well -- but when played badly the noise is hellish.

In that case I thank all the musicians who play their instruments well.

I have one that I bought in Beijing. Be glad you are not within earshot when I practice. :lol:
