Erhu Ecstacy

So for all those of you who have not heard I have a slight problem - I am a compulsive ebay buyer. Luckily I have high standards which protects me from tipping over the edge into the precipice of owning really dumb stuff. My latest investment is the Chinese Erhu. It's a two stringed instrument with a bow that plays between the strings. Take a listen:

I like whatever it was you played a whooole lot more than that army of erhu players playing that blasted Horse Races thigamagig.
M'thinks erhu players are like Mothers...'cause that's a "sound" only a Mother could love. Still I think it's a kick you are mastering the erhu. You actually get quite a nice sound quality for an erhu.
