When the bridge is left on the snake skin for more than 3 months without playing, the stress from the string pessure will gradually rip the skin. Once the skin is destroyed, there's way to you can reapir it...unless you change the skin. This is easier said than done. Where the heck can you kill a Phyton...and how do you know the way to skin it and glue it to the erhu?

That's why it's only logical to throw that erhu away and buy a new one.

u r right Empire but dun throw it away lar.... donate to Old China Cafe. I'm sure the boss will be more than happy to put up in his shop
as for decoration and will be appreciated by all patrons.

ok.. as i promise.. mei-mei fav. song.

Are they the first three songs on the CD? 高山流水is song No7 on the CD? Look like I have the same CD too.

渔舟唱晚is one my favourite. You want to try playing it? I have an easier version. If you know chinese 123 notation, you can play it on the guitar.  The only thing is you cant produce the specialised guzheng sound effects. The other thing is you have to transpose +2 since the guzheng is tune to key of D (1 = D, 3 = F#). You should know these stuff since you taught me a great deal about music theory at the scale thread. If you want to appreciate the song more, tell me what comes to mind when you hear it. These classics are good at painting images in you mind when you hear it. We can discuss it here.

高山流水was carved into my guzheng. I been wanting to play the song since I had my guzheng. After getting the song on CD (two months ago) I been doing this song on my own (that means not asked by teacher to play because it is not my level yet). I only manage the first 50 seconds of the song so far.

战台风 I got to know at the MPO concert this year. It was played by mei mei's teacher at the concert. It is not an easy song to play. I will come to this when I am done with 高山流水.

I know. You already hinted in your pervious post. This is MPO. They will never give us exactly what we want. It is the same situation "boh huh hair pun a sai" (we will settle for the shrimps if we cant get the fish). Listening to music in a philharmonic hall is a great experience. With the ettiquette at MPO we can even hear a pin fall on the floor.
If it is happy hour then we dont need to think twice about it. Just "sapu" the box A or F (sepuluh ringgit satu ticket sahaja). My memory tells me that there is only 4 or 6 seats for box A or F. I am sure we can get the numbers. If not then think of it as we had "pau" the box for our exclusive use From the current indication of attendance, there is a high possibility that I may end up being in the box alone.    Subang may be in Xian. la Bella may end up being a performer since Empire is always recruiting talents.

faceless...My band will perform a few songs with our world class Violinist friend from Romania that night too. He is a beast on the Violin. He will play the technically challenging Gypsy folk songs. This is not for the faint hearted. His level of playing will kill many world class Violinists!

I will inform you guys the moment ticket is up for sale. :-)

so there will b 3 SYTs there with 1 ah pek & 1 Kor kor... LOL

It is not very original. It is typical of Malaysian to make such simple and uncreative variation. It is form the way James Bond like his drink "shaken but not stirred".

No jokes lah. The art is dying art due to lack of interest. It may take me a long time to learn how to be an opera actor so if I can play the background music I would be content.
