Erhu fingering

1. When holding the erhu, hold the palm of your left hand close to the piano bar, press the string backwards with your fingers lying flat, and bend your thumb down to hook the piano bar.

2, finger joints are excessively bent, and fingertips (even nails) touch the strings.

3. Finger joints are upside down, especially the first joints of middle finger, ring finger and little finger.

4. Fingers (especially ring fingers and little fingers) do not press the strings from the front (from string to string), but from the outside (from string to piano body), so that only the outer strings are pressed, but the inner strings are in a virtual state, and wolf sounds often appear.

When a finger is pressed on the string, the finger under it is curled up in your palm. When playing, always let your fingers "hang" above the phoneme and you can't relax.
