How to make erhu sound mellow?

I also learn erhu, and sometimes the strings get rusty because you haven't practiced for a long time. I suggest you wipe the string with a clean cloth first, don't use too much force, the string will get a little hot. Then use your four fingers to slide down the nasal groove and apply it evenly on the strings, because the grease secreted by the nose can make the strings smooth. More importantly, wipe the bow with rosin, not too much. You can also put a little prickly heat powder on the piano rod to make it smooth. The most important thing is to rely on yourself. Playing the slow bow more helps to play the erhu better.
