Tone Colour and Volume 音色與音量
The erhu sounds the best in the first two octaves. erhu volumeThe notes between D4 and G#4 can only be played on the D string. However, A4 and the notes above may be played on either strings. The choice of which string to play is based on the convenience of the fingering, and also the desired tone colours. The notes played on the D string has a softer tone, while the A string notes are brighter. Playing notes of the same phrase on the same string can produce a more unified tone than switching between the strings. Sometimes, the erhu player will choose to play two consecutive A note on different strings to create contrasting colours.
The erhu is not as loud as the violin, but it does have a good range of volume and sound very good in acoustic space without microphones. However, to balance with loud percussion and wind instruments can be difficult. This has to be taken into consideration when composing loud passages in ensembles. In larger ensembles, the erhu may be amplified with a microphone, unless there are multiple erhu to make up a string session.
In general, the erhu player needs to change the bow more often than the violinist to produce the same volume on the same note. This becomes more obvious in higher register, when the erhu becomes much softer. In order to achieve the intensity and volume often required for passages in the higher register, the erhu player needs to bow much faster, and therefore, not able to play as many beats (notes) with one bow.
