Erhu tuning method

The tuning method of erhu is as follows:

Two-step method for tuning erhu. ?

1, approximate key: A sound (440H) of a small group of standard pronunciation devices (pitch controller, pitch whistle, repoint, etc.). ) as a standard sound, it is also the 5s sound in d key.

According to my own judgment of the external chord sound, by rotating the external chord axis of the erhu (if it is low, it will loosen the chord), the rotation amplitude should not be too large, and the external chord sound should be gradually adjusted to the pitch equal to the standard sound while listening. ?

2. Fine-tuning: Select the mode of the electronic tuner as "erhu tuning mode" and place it near the erhu drum, then pull the slow longbow of the outer string with relatively uniform force, and observe the tuner while pulling.

Erhu:

Erhu is a traditional stringed instrument in China, with two strings, which started in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 1000 years. Erhu consists of a piano body (including a piano stem, a piano barrel, a piano holder, a leather membrane and a sound window), a string system (including strings, a string shaft, weights, a piano code and a sound pad) and a bow (including bow fish, bow stem and bow hair).

Qin makers usually make erhu with mahogany, lobular rosewood, ebony and other wood. One end of the barrel is wrapped in snake skin, which is the source of the unique timbre of erhu. Some advanced erhu use python skin. Erhu's famous songs include Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, Good Night and Listening to Song.
