How to Choose a High-Grade Erhu with Eliott Tordo

Famous French Erhu performer Eliott Tordo joins Eight Tones Music co-founder Aaron Ang to compare six high-grade Erhus and select the best professional Erhu for music videos, recordings, and live performances. This Erhu comparison features three premium tonewoods: Aged Rosewood, Indian Violet Sandalwood, and rare Hainan Huanghuali. Aaron and Eliott compare each instrument’s tone, projection, resonance, playability, Erhu skin, wood grade, craftsmanship, and maker. They also share tips on how to choose an Erhu online, why the Erhu maker matters, what makes a good high-grade Erhu, and whether beginners should invest in a professional instrument. The video concludes with two Erhu performances of “Oogway Ascends” by Hans Zimmer and John Powell from the Kung Fu Panda soundtrack.
