I meant to post this earlier than now but I didn’t have these vids done at the time. Anyway, this month makes three years for me playing the zhongruan (the one in the vids below). I’d like to thank my fellow “forumites” (you know who you are) for your kind impressions and input. You helped me enjoy the instrument even more. The “vid noises” below are dedicated to you. Thank you so very much. I was alone for a long time and your kindness and interaction means more than I can say. Now, before I really get maudlin, I hope you like the vids.

I think it's great what you're doing, playing a Chinese instrument and putting your own twist to it. I see no difference between a violin player teaching him/herself the erhu and your twist on things....we can't all afford tuition. I only wish my zhongruan playing was just as good. keep it up.

Best Wishes

Thanks Ed. I'm the most proud of TROPIcoco. As you said the tone is very smooth. And that instrument id considered student grade. I have to admit seeing the videos gave me more confidence with my Playing.

I also think it's great what you're doing, playing a Chinese instrument and putting your own twist to it.

Thanks rappelz. I've been at it now for three years and still the instrument surprises me! Yes I created my own musical idiom with the zhongruan. I love it immensely!
