Having taken some basic erhu classes myself, I can tell he's not much of an erhu player. His right arm is extremely rigid. Notice that his elbow pretty much stays in place. There is no "flow" of the music. But what's more distracting about his performance is the inability to get the pitch right for the notes. His notes are too flat, which is a common mistake of beginners. I would advise everyone to please listen to more reputable videos before you criticize erhu with a broad stroke.
yeah literally made my ears hurt. suck is suck, just because its culture doesnt make it sound good. i dont care how much you know about it and how educated you are, if it sounds bad it sounds bad.
@chinkynuts32 Just because you don't like the sound, doesn't mean that it "sucks". If it "sounds bad" that may just be because of the player, and not the instrument.
Erhu is often compared to violin, do you think violin "sucks" too?
@chinkynuts32 i know exactly what u mean man its just the way this guys playing.(sucks) but ive heard crazy nice sounding ones youtube viva girls yin yang and watch its awesome
Informative video with horrible playing.

The video's admirably helpful, and I assume the instrument's not expensive, but that is one horror-story of an erhu.

The fingering has so much 3 dimensional freedom. I guess it's a kind of crossover between kung fu and music.
