One of our Erhu teachers have just relocated from Singapore to Coppell, Dallas, Texas.
She's learnt from quite a few professional players in Singapore and have been teaching for a couple of years.
She's Japanese and speaks English so if you're around the area and thinking of picking up the Erhu or want some 1 to 1 coaching please email me tansungwah@gmail.com for her contact.
She's only going to be there for a year so do take advantage of this opportunity.

The Annual Erhu Strings Award
There are a lots of different types of erhu strings. They come in different gauges, are made of different materials and each maker has their own little trade secret. When it comes to stringing your erhu, some people, even myself are at a loss of what to get.
So here are some information culled from experiences and feedback from customers (and myself) outside of what the packaging says. I hope they can aid you in making a decision on what type of string to use.
--------------------------------
"Safe Choice Award"
These strings are the more popular choices. They sound good, have pretty short run in period and are easy on the hands. If you have no clue what strings to use, just get Mudan strings. If you want something better, get the Fang Fang strings.
Mudan Erhu Strings
Fang Fang Professional Erhu Strings
"Loud-Hailer Award"
These strings are of thicker gauge and hence produces a tone with more body and volume.
Beijing Hua Mei Niao Brand Erhu Strings
Dunhuang Erhu Strings
"Challenge Yourself Award"
Because these strings are stiffer than the rest, you need more effort to press the strings and bow to get a good tone.
Beijing Hua Mei Niao Brand Erhu Strings
Dunhuang Erhu Strings
"Best Value Award"
Cheap and good
Mudan Erhu Strings
"Best of Both Worlds Award"
These strings give better volume and are still easy on the hands
Ming Ren Erhu Strings
"Best Singer Award"
These are arguably the best sounding strings.
Fang Fang Soloist Erhu Strings
Thomastik-Infeld Soloist Erhu Strings
Pirastro Red Dragon Erhu strings
"Plug and Play Award"
These strings sound good almost immediately. You don't need a week to run them in.
Fang Fang Soloist Erhu Strings
Thomastik-Infeld Soloist Erhu Strings
Pirastro Red Dragon Erhu strings
"Die Young Award"
The performance of these strings deteriorates pretty fast. Maybe they sound too good to begin with hence the difference is stark. So save them for special occasions
Fang Fang Soloist Erhu Strings (To be confirmed)
Thomastik-Infeld Soloist Erhu Strings
Pirastro Red Dragon Erhu strings
"Acquired Taste Award"
Either you like it or you don't. Made from silver and sometimes gold, these strings can have surprising results on your erhu - either way.
ABing Silver Erhu Strings
ABing Silver and Gold Erhu Strings
-----------------------------------
If you think I missed out any strings worthy of an award, please feel free to comment.

Another Type of Erhu Belt Clip
A while ago, a customer of mine who has bought a belt clip from me before asked: "Sung Wah, do you have a belt clip that stays on the erhu permanently?". I replied: "Erm.....ya, the belt clip that I sold you....just don't remove it and it will stay on permanently right?"
End of conversation.
A few days later by some divine intervention, I noticed a box of erhu belt clips in my store. They were never given a chance to see the light of day because they were wrongly ordered by my supplier. I took a look at them when they first came and sent them straight to the darkest corner of my store. But upon closer inspection, I noticed that these might be the type of belt clips my customer was looking for.
It comes in 2 parts.
The piece on the left clips onto your belt / trousers like this:
and the piece on the right is glued onto the base of your erhu like this:
As you can see the 2 parts are velcro loop and hook sides which can be attached together like below.
And with that you can dance to your heart's content while playing the erhu.
Accordingly to the male model in the photo, the clip is more comfortable than the usual belt clip I am selling. And you can easily detach and attach the erhu to and from the velcro, making setup and storage a breeze. The construction feels more flimsy though.
And with the Velcro piece glued to the base of erhu, part of the belt clip stays on the erhu permanently...
Available in the shop @ Rochor Centre. Oversea customers please email me if you are interested. It costs slightly less than the belt clip we have in our online store.

ANGIE MARTINEZ & CHRIS BROWN INTERVIEW
A Very Good Wang Gen Xing Erhu
I was at Shanghai last week and while I was there, I went over to Wang Gen Xing's place to pick out 2 erhus.
I had my picture taken with him. He insisted that I bring his erhu into the picture to prove that they are indeed from him because there are a lot of fakes around.
I chose the best 2 from his lot of 5. Initially I just wanted to take 1 with me because one of my customer from Germany had ordered it but another sounded so good I just had to take it away with me.
So there you have it. One aged rosewood Wang Gen Xing erhu specially selected and brought back from Shanghai by me.
If you are interested, click here to purchase it.
*Latest update: The erhu is sold*

Shakira Performs Did It Again with Drum Dancing
Shakira performs "Did It Again" on "Dancing with the Stars" on October 13, 2009, featuring some great drum dancing with Asian drums. It's always great to see Shakira's moves, but it added an interesting dimension to see the drummers moving along with their drumming - seems like it would be called drum dancing.
The drums at the beginning of the song look like talking drums:
Click to view larger
The drums shown during most of Shakira's performance (2-headed drums on wooden stands) look like Japanese taiko drums or Chinese thunder drums. A video of Shakira performing "Did It Again" on Jimmy Kimmel shows drums like marching band drums or tabor drums.
What kind of drums do you think were used in Shakira's performance of "Did It Again" on Dancing with the Stars?
