Brand New ErHu, 二胡, Chinese Violin.

Note: If you buy or import an ErHu from overseas to Australia, the Customs
and AQIS (Australia Quarantine and Inspection Service) will ask you to
present a Permit/Certificate for the Import/Export Certificate,
Fumigation Certificate/Tanning Certificate ( for ErHu python
skin) to meet the Australian requirements. Those certificates may not
be needed by other countries, but Australia needs them! Lots of documents,
forms and process fees will be involved.

I personally experienced the whole process when I imported ErHus from
China. I also saw with my own eyes at Customs, the officer asked a
visitor to take off the python skin, then he could bring it into
Australia if visitor without Permit Certificate.
We have the Permit/Certificate to import ErHu to Australia.

About ErHu, 二胡, Chinese Violin

Erhu, known as in the West as the 'Chinese Violin' or Chinese two strings
fiddle, is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, used as a solo
instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras.

The Erhu consists of a long vertical stick-like neck, at the top there are
two large tuning pegs, and at the bottom is a small resonator body
(sound box) which is covered with python skin on the front (playing)
end. Two strings are attached from the pegs to the sound box above the
skin, between the string and the sound box, there's a small wooden bridge;
beneath the bridge you can put a sponge to cut the noisy sound off.

Why does the Erhu sound so touching and moving?
Because it has the sound that is very intimate, exquisite, tugs at your heart's strings and is close to the inner humanistic heart.

Let me strongly recommend an Erhu to you if you want to learn a beautiful stringed instrument.

This is a good Erhu to start with (the package included almost everything you need) if you need one to learn how to play,
and eventually you'll enter the fantastic world of traditional Chinese musical instruments!
What can the ErHu show you?

I can personally teach you how to play along with other students and you will be on the stage very soon!! Please find my students perfomance video links at YouTube:
Girls playing ErHu in the Olympic Park, Sydney, on Australia National Day, 26th Jan 2010. One of girls had only learned for about 2 months from me; watch her! Now she plays on the stage in front of hundreds people).

Please see the movie of 3 girls play for Queensland disaster with Kevin Rudd on 11th Feb 2011, on above right.
