Hi!
Where did you buy this? I bought from Wang Geng Xin himself at about $1500.

My erhu also is a Wang Gen Xing, obtained through Lee Shyi Chi in Taiwan. Don't know the cost -- it was a gift from him. I seem to remember translating it as about $700.

Hey wanggx, those are really nice erhus! I noticed one is 6 sided and the other is 8 sided, how do the 2 erhus compare in sound? I’m interested in this, I’ve read that a particular design is suppose to give a certain type of sound, what d’you think about this?

Calden, You have a treasure!!!!
By industry standards, Wang Geng Xin Aged Rosewood Erhus are THE BEST money can buy(selection is still needed). I am on Wang geng Xin order list, and my next erhu from him comes early 2006. Get a Shuzhou/Hangzhou Violet Sandalwood one, and your collection is complete.
Shanghainese Erhus are sweet, melodious and mellow. The Rosewood adds the classic tonal beauty to it. Shuzhou Erhu has a more robust sound, which is clean and concentrated. Using Sandalwood, the sound becomes crystal clear nd very powerful. Most concerto players swear by it.

Re Wang Geng Xin If they are the “best” why is selection needed? If he has a waiting list, does he make erhus individually for each customer? Or maybe he makes them in batches and a customer can pick one from several?
Anyone else got pics of their erhu? I'm sure we'd love to see them!

Hello, I am looking for an erhu player, of Chinese origin, living in Toronto area, preferably amateur, whose passion for this instrument comes from his cultural background. I am documentary filmmaker, and want to make a documentary concening this subject.
