How to tune the erhu.

The tuning method of erhu is as follows:

Without changing the pitch of the empty string, no matter what melody is played, the pitch of the empty string will only be d1 and a1, and these two tones can be put in any key, just changing according to the different key.

In different tones, the empty chord of the first tune of the erhu is the inner chord on the left and the outer chord on the right, because as long as it is within the range of the erhu, any transferred tone can be pulled out.

if you want to play an ensemble, you must tune the string against the standard sound la and tune it to the real pitch of re and la. If it is a solo, the requirements are not so strict.

The method of tuning the erhu is as follows:

1 and 5 strings, that is, the tuning of the inner string is "1" and the outer string is "5". It is the most easy to get started among the five commonly used tuning strings. Under normal circumstances, any music with the lowest pitch of "1" can be played with 1 and 5 strings.

strings 5 and 2 are the fixed strings with the internal chord sound of "5" and the external chord sound of "2", and any music with the lowest pitch of "5" is generally suitable for playing with strings 5 and 2.

The 6 and 3 strings are the fixed strings with the internal chord sound of "6" and the external chord sound of "3", and any music with the lowest pitch of "6" is generally suitable for playing with 6 and 3 strings.

strings 3 and 7, that is, the fixed strings with the inner hollow string sound of "3" and the outer space string sound of "7", are suitable for all music with the lowest pitch of "3".

the 2 nd and 6 th strings are the fixed strings with the inner empty string sound of "2" and the outer space string sound of "6". Any music with the lowest pitch of "2" is suitable for playing with 2 and 6 strings.
