The highlight of this session is talking about the differences between synthetic skin Erhu and python skin Erhu with Ruijun.

We started off by chatting with Ruijun about his Erhu youtube channel, where he curates and posts good performance videos.

We then talked briefly about the latest Covid-19 developments, and how it is impacting the Chinese music art scene in Singapore.

We then compared some synthetic Erhus with comparable snakeskin Erhus.

The Erhus that we compared in this video are:
