Erhu Repairs and Restoration

The Erhu is made of wood and snakeskin. There are quite a number of things that can go wrong if you are not careful with your instrument. Whilst some issues you can resolve it on your own (or should learn how to resolve it on your own), others you will probably need professional help for your Erhu repairs.

Here are some of the common Erhu repairs you might face:

broken-erhu-neck2

Broken Head

You drop your Erhu and the head/ neck breaks. Whatever you do, do not stick it back with superglue. Bring it to us and we can attach it back with hardly a trace of its broken past.

Estimated cost: $30 - $60

Estimated time: 1 week

repair-erhu-body

Cracked Body

The body of the erhu might crack at the seams at some point of time. When that happens, you will notice that your erhu does not sound as good as before. We can fix up the crack in no time. (No guarantee it will sound as good as before though.)

Estimated cost: $35 - $65

Estimated time: 1 - 2 weeks

Broken Erhu Skin

Broken or Sagging Erhu Skin

The snakeskin is the soul of the Erhu. You will find that the tone changes drastically once the skin sags or is broken. You can send it in to us for it to be re-skinned. But we recommend doing that only If that Erhu is of high value or has sentimental value.

Estimated cost: $300 onwards (Depending on quality of snakeskin).

Estimated time: 1 - 3 months

Erhu Bronze Tuners Repair

Broken or Faulty Tuners

There are 2 types of Erhu tuners: friction wooden pegs and bronze tuners. We can definitely fix a broken wooden peg. A faulty bronze tuner peg though will depend on the extent of damage..

Estimated cost: $30 onwards

Estimated time: 1 - 2 weeks
