Erhu - Chinese musical instrument

[worldcitizen]

Hi guys

Ever since I've arrived in HK from the UK, this forum has been my prime source of information. Keep it up, people!!

Grateful if you could help with the following:

I'm currently looking to buy an Er-Hu for a friend abroad. Do you know where I could get hold of a good one at a reasonable price?

What sort of price range are we talking about here?

Plus it'd be great if there is a handbook that teaches you how to play it and an album based on some Ehru classics. Though I'm no expert in Chinese traditional music, my friend mentioned this guy called Chen Jun.

Many thanks in advance.

Will
