Qualities to look out for while buying an Erhu

When we Chinese want to have a new Erhu, we first look at the wood material it is made of, and it is sure that those made of ebony sandalwood is the best, then it comes the aged redwood, those of white wood are for students only.Also the snakeskin plays an important role in sound quality, but it is absolutely diffficult for a beginner to figure out if the skin is good or not.Another thing the buyer should pay attention to is where the erhu is made, I mean those made in South China would adapt to the so-called tropical whether condition much more easily than those from North China.
