Does anyone play the erhu or the pipa?

Question

i want to explore some non-traditional musical instruments, what types do you recommend for soothing sounds...where can i find them?

Answer 1

traditional chinese music instruments:

erhu

pipa

yang qin

gu zhen

gaohu

banhu

and many others

I -myself- learn erhu, coz I luv its mellow tunes..

but in the place I learn music, most students play gu zhen coz it's easier.

String instruments like erhu, just like violin, will give u bad sound when u first play it. But, with time goes by, the sound improves. (Youtube has many video music for erhu and guzhen)

But with instrument like pipa or gu zhen u will get go0d sound even if u play it for 1st time

Erhu knowns in many movie (chinese movie or martial art movie).

Check out 12 girls band for ur sound reference. Or try to open this link http://eason.com.sg/products/products_ne... just for u to see the pictures of those instruments or to hear example of the sound instruments
