Would like both but already spent money on a 8 string guitar, but definitely in the near future
Also, Irish tin whistle tabs work on the dizi, so learning new songs is easy.
The best tutorial! It’s so important to loosen the tuning peg a lot before you put the string on. Then after putting the string in, pulling up on the slack string while tightening the tuning peg- makes it easy peasy. Thanks for the great video!
Glad it helped!
Hello, I absolutely LOVE your channel! May I make a suggestion for a video? It would be amazing if you made a longer video explaining to us about the history of traditional Chinese music, and how it was played, what ensemble, the music, etc. For people wanting to discover these rich traditions it can be really hard to know which piece of music online is actually accurate to the ancient traditional artforms and which are made for our modern tastes but just using ancient instruments. For inspiration, I highly recommend Farya Faraji's musicology videos (it's called Epic Talking in his channel), where he tells us about Middle Eastern music and helps us understand and identify authentic pieces. CZcams is flooded with "relaxing ancient Chinese music" and we have no idea what is what, haha. Anyway, sorry for the long comment and congrats on your channel!
Will need to find an expert who knows everything and is willing to talk about it. We know a fair but, but we can't vow for our accuracy of historical knowledge.
What is the name of the music you play?
彝族舞曲,dance of the yi tribe
@@EightTonesMusic Thank you! ^_^
Being a hobbyist woodworker (I make wooden crank baits for fishing) and a beginner erhu player, I be most interested in learning the process of making an erhu (the bow too). I probably can make a crappy one right now. I got all the general woodworking skill set. My weak point is actually are my ears. Others may be interested in taking classes too. The process may take too much time but at least cover the major steps. You can also hav e beginner and advance classes. Here in the US, there are such classes to learn the craftsmanship (general carving, cabinetry, hand tools,,,,,). The woodworking stores would have classes for turning and even building instruments (like guitars). To me it's kind of like a vacation trip for learning. You do it for the fun of it. You charge accordingly. If such learning experience is available, I would sign up and make the trip.
That's something to think about. I would maybe do a survey to see how many would be interested.
Even the hulusi?
Hulusi is the easiest to learn. It is like a recorder.
omg thank you so much for the guide now i can put the membrane or whqt else on my flute❤❤
You're welcome 😊
It would be helpfulto hear the difference instead of it being described in merely two words.
Will do it in a longer form content. CZcams only allows very short reels.
@@EightTonesMusic you could strum the strings while speaking, if it's not too loud, that would improve the video a lot! If it is to loud, then record separately and add at a lower volum atop the video. It would be really nice!
Thankyou for this video it is very helpful, I am learning Erhu but I need to get the qianjin right I had to buy more because the one that came with the Erhu was so short 😂
We sell in rolls
🤣🇧🇷💯👍
i know u might not respond but. question. is there a difference between a dizi and a irish flute?
The Dizi has a membrane made of part of a bamboo that produces a unique buzzing sound that is unique to many woodwind instruments
The Mujiuchen is really hard to control the strings and the “noises” because it echoes very brightly. But I believe for players who want to work on getting rid of noises, this is also a must have guzheng. It is perfect to use to work on finger strength. Each pluck should avoid string-nail contact noises as much as possible. Thanks for the educational video, I’m waiting for my Mujiuchen’s Mujiuchen to come!
Yes indeed
Do you think the gap at the pinky is a bit large? Pinky would get stuck in there when doing Yaozhi right?
Can practice not to lean too much on your pinky while doing yaozhi
Whats song does she plays at the end of the chip?

把阿炳灵魂给丢了
这首曲子也不一定是阿炳写的,有些人记载这是个民曲改编过来的,然后取名为《二泉映月》。改编的成分多少,写的成分多少,没有人知道--不过据了解,阿炳拉这首曲子时给人录了一遍就去世了。阿炳的贡献确实是不可少,但这首曲子也可能是完全改编出来的,如果当时阿炳没有改编,你也不可能会听到《二泉映月》。 我们这个版本是大师吴祖强先生写给西洋拉弦乐,过后再由指挥家倪恩辉再改编给胡琴以及大提琴。
Thank you. I absolutely love these graceful instruments. 🥰
Glad you like them!
Just a question I got my erhu it come with resin but is it supposed to be rock hard like hard candy ?
Yes, it is. Just rub it onto your bow hair and dust will appear.
yayy liuqin appreciation !! ive played it for 4 years
Great!
I’ve been playing the pipa and Erhu for 2 years 🎉❤
Great! They are nice instruments
Ever since I started playing the pipa my mom knows hoy to use it so she teaches me and I’m glad I know how to play
My Grandpa is a instrument teacher from China, he teaches students how to play Erhu and other instruments like Drums and Suona. And my Grandpa teaches me how to play an Erhu when I was 6 years old!
Amazing!
Do you have a school in Georgia?
Unfortunately not, we are based in Singapore. However, you can sign up for our online lessons.
Best video I’ve found on this. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Is it available as online classes
Yes it is with us. You can email in to contact@eight-tones.com.sg
i wanna buy guzheng but is soo damn expensivee huhu
Because Guzheng is quite big, so the making and the handling will cost more than the other instruments.
@@EightTonesMusic then violin is my only option 😔
@@Msminteaa Erhu or Dizi is fine too.
I've been pronouncing it as guizhong. Oops. So its guzheng.
Yes indeed!
And wait.. Is that a Snake on Erhu and Huqin?
Yes, snake leather
This video just introduced me to a world of instruments I’ve never heard of!
Welcome!
Yes yes let me lern I can’t wait
You can email in to us for lessons to contact@eight-tones.com.sg
You did not use membrane
We did use the membrane.
I still wonder how long would it take to manufacture a hollowed out guzheng from the pre-air dried materials (wood)?
It depends on the methods used by the factories. We are not very sure as these are guarded secrets, they only let us see a few minutes of each process.
How do you put back the bow?
You can unscrew the bow and slot it back
Another difference is that the guzeng has multiple bridges going diagnal across the middle of the board, while the guqin has only one bridge and is at one side of the instrument
Yes, that's why Guqin has a very unique tone colour
Please create a "How to tune a Guqin" video too if that's ok 🙏
That's an idea! Will do that.
@@EightTonesMusic Thank you so much! Looking forward to it 🙏❤
Thank you so much. This has been extremely helpful for me to help my mom change her Guzheng strings. Keep up the good content 👍 Good video quality
You're so welcome!
I like the pear shape! Do you guys have a post schedule?
Pear shape is great. No, we don’t have a post schedule, we will try to post as regularly as we can.
是非善惡終入因果,是輪廻的加速器。六道皆是苦!不沈淪六道才能救六道之苦。知苦才有離苦的動機。要看清楚,要深刻地理解。 是非善惡是二泉,印月是空花雪月,虛妄無需掛心。明月才是真心。

Noo! Now the song is stuck in my head!
Replay it more :)
I love how amazingly the cello blends in with the erhus!
Indeed
I like how the holes in the base of the zhongruan looks like birds! I also noticed that unlike my upright bass, the very top of the instrument curves instead of twists. These are very beautiful, high quality instruments!
Yes they are interesting!
Are there age limitations for lessons? Do you guys have online lessons? I want to learn the dizi but I don't live CLOSE to signapore😂
Hi, we do have online lessons. You can email us at contact@eight-tones.com.sg
I love this instrument and Chinese people them selves ❤
Thank you <3
sometimes it feels like teh sound of dizi is so dull, ive been playing for a whiel but i cant make that beautiful sound, Its either Dull or screechy
You need a good teacher to master the Dizi well.
Do you know where I can buy heptatonic guzheng?
Hi, sorry we don't carry heptatonic Guzhengs
Guqin by far is my favorite instrument to play. It’s a personal instrument and I’m very attached to mine even though it isn’t the best quality, it’s still so beautiful. It saddens me that the Guqin is not more well known, especially in the west. It was by chance that I happened upon the Guqin, and I’m so glad I did.
It is getting more popular
Merhaba bende istiyorum guqin nasıl ala bilirim nerden ala bilirim profesyönelin? 🙏
I like the sound of both to study. When I first learned about both, I had many doubts about how they were different, thanks for the answer.
Glad it was helpful!
