WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

erhu review

The quality of the instrument is good, but as a beginner I needed some lessons before I could coax the sound quality from the instrument. The friendly Eight Tone instructor is patient, flexible and I m able to pick up playing some popular songs quickly after 6 months of lessons.

erhu review

The teacher who recommended this erhu to me has been very patient as it was my first purchase and it took me a while to decide. He even played several erhu many times upon request and is certainly very knowledgeable in this instrument. I could also tell that he’s very passionate to share what he knows and is definitely a pleasant experience to buy an instrument from Eight Tones.
