Hi, I purchased store bought craft felt. Will this do for erhu?
Thank you for all the valuable information on the erhu! You should compare bridges when you have time, keep up the good work!
Hello, where can I buy a good quality damper, like the one in the video.
Can you use a piece of leather chamois cloth such as those for cleaning cars?
Sure, that works too!
What problems result from too thick a dampener?
it will choke the erhu tone
My erhu sounds very coarse. Is there a reason for this? Thanks!
Hello there! We'll try to assist you as much as we could. Perhaps you can send a video of the erhu being played to our Facebook page for further inspection?

Thanks for the video. I don’t understand what can of damper material felt is. Could you or anyone else give me more damper material alternatives? is piece of cotton a good alternative? Or cork or foam? Etcétera
Felt, but it must be high quality and not shear if you tug it. The store-bought felt that I can think of from the top of my head is very soft and rips easily and likely would be too soft and full of "air pockets".
