Better quality silver plated strings are widely available and will deliver better tone

They give you an additional set of strings, a multi-note pitch pipe for tuning purposes (which I prefer over electronic tuners anyway), rosin which seems to be just as good as the one I use for my viola, two bridges, two felt pads, a set of fine-tuners if you prefer to use those (as stated before, I personally do not since I like the tone better without it), and a Beijing-style bow (which is a lot easier to set up with the erhu than a Shanghai-style one).

But as I began to get more and more proficient with it (understanding the effects of various bow pressure, string placement, etc.), I've been getting very solid tones out of it.

It has a good build, generous amount of accessories, and a nice tone (once you become fairly proficient).

Assembly of the fine tuners was a bit tricky, otherwise top notch.

I utilize fine tuners on my cello and my one custom guitar all the time so to

The snakeskin head appears to be real and the fine tuners are a wonderful surprise component.

The accessories (pitch pipe, fine tuners, rosin) are all of good quality

What We Discovered:My wife and I are hobbies musicians and my wife has always loved the sound of the Erhu.

Whichever it is, the wood is of good quality and makes a nice sound

I think it's a great product for beginners

I highly recommend this product and I'm very pleased with it.

I absolutely recommend this product, even if you're a beginner like me.

Everything comes in good condition

This instrument came in good condition and earlier than expected (which is always a plus)

Arrived in great condition

After about two weeks, it is still holding up and stays in tune pretty well

After we secured a constant tuning and once the bow was properly rosined, my wife started practicing.

It was beautiful, well packaged and great quality

Overall, it's a great package for any beginner and a unique instrument to learn.

But, with that said, this was a surprisingly beautiful instrument on multiple counts and a wonderful place for anyone to begin their Erhu journey

All in All:This is a wonderful place to begin your music journey in traditional Chinese instruments.

It is designed to give the erhu a safe place to sleep

A perfect choice for beginner and junior player！It can be delivered to Canada fullfilled by seller

If you enjoy banging your instruments around, the erhu is probably not a good choice for you anyway

I'm Enjoying playing every day!. Worth thre money

I am so impressed with the quality, I really got my money's worth.

high quality and beautiful erhu,worth the money

They also sell a more expensive Erhu in case you want something more higher end

I did a lot of research on Amazon and elsewhere to find the best erhu at a reasonable price

If you want a nice sounding Erhu to learn on, this is it.

I'm sure it doesn't sound like a top quality orchestral erhu, but I never expected that anyway

If you enjoy banging your instruments around, the erhu is probably not a good choice for you anyway

Of course, for $135 you can't expect the best instrument ever made to be shipped to your door, but it is a very serviceable instrument

Well, this is an instrument that actually encourages me to play it and practice because of how well it's built

This instrument will sound rather horrible until you are able to bow properly

But, with that said, this was a surprisingly beautiful instrument on multiple counts and a wonderful place for anyone to begin their Erhu journey

In conclusion, this is an amazing instrument for the price.
