Finally my new erhu arrived!

[hhxevo]

Hi everybody,

I'm so glad that finally my erhu has arrived!

Last time I've posted in this forum that I want to buy the MMK1, but as advised by Edcat (thank you!), I've considered to take a look at YKM3.

The time comes when my friend told me that she would having holiday to S'pore, so I asked her if she could deliver the erhu to me and she's fine with it.

First I was curious about the difference between the YKM3 with the YKM1, so I asked Sung Wah to post a video of both erhus, and I've decided to choose the YKM3 for the sound more mellow and also the snake skin looks great. 

I asked SW if he could deliver it to my friend's hotel in case she's too busy to come to Eason and SW agreed to deliver it, by himself! He even come again to give extra qianjin! What an excellent service!

I really recommend Eason Music Store for your reference to buy erhu.

Now I'm gonna spend my time banging the erhu.

Here's the pics

Congratulations on your new erhu, beautiful snakeskin and wood. btw. did your friend have any trouble at customs or was CITES certificate included?

ps remember when not playing your erhu to put a pencil (I find a used e-cigarette fits best) under the strings at the bridge.

I have CITES from Eason but it seems the airport authority didn't notice about the erhu since it was handcarried.

Thanks for the advise.

Do you mean to say it went thru airport security with out looking at it.. Holy Cow. Could have been a machine gun in case.. Wow.. !!!

Beautiful instrument that's for sure.

I took my eco erhu when I went to work in Mykonos last March (going again next month) and again the customs didn't bat an eyelid...could have taken a better one. Things may be different when I bring it back UK customs though.

It was so nice reading this, as I recently decided to go with the YKM3 as well (instead of the YKM1). How have you been enjoying your erhu thus far? I'm so excited about receiving mine!
