Soloist Erhu: Tuner & Lessons

Learn erhu through a graded course in jianpu, with feedback that tells you how far and which direction to move. Soloist Erhu pairs an instrument-specific tuner and a first-position fingering chart with a structured path from first bow to graded repertoire.

HONEST DIRECTIONAL INTONATION
A fretless instrument should not answer every miss with a red light. Soloist Erhu shows whether a note is flat or sharp, reports the distance in musical cents, and tells you to move toward or away from the qianjin. Optional digital string marks give new players a visual landing point. If the microphone signal is unclear, the app asks for another take instead of inventing a wrong-note verdict.

A REAL JIANPU COURSE
Follow 98 structured lessons in numbered notation. Catalog v7 contains 3 source-verified public-domain arrangements, 95 original erhu studies, and 392 accompaniment-only play-along charts. The course develops inner- and outer-string control, bow changes, rhythm, shifting, and musical phrasing in a deliberate sequence.

HUAYIN AND ROUXIAN FEEDBACK
Slides are checked for their start, destination, and contour. Vibrato practice measures rate and depth against clear target bands. Technique feedback is confidence-gated so an uncertain recording never becomes a confident judgment.

A TUNER BUILT FOR ERHU
• Inner D and outer A auto-detection
• Six xianfa key systems: D, G, F, C, A, and B-flat
• A4 calibration from 428 to 452 Hz
• Reference-tone listening mode
• Directional cents display and microphone-noise guidance

NEW: FINGERING CHART
Pick any of the six key systems and see which jianpu degree and note each finger plays in first position on the inner and outer strings, and which fingers close to a half step. Tap any note to hear it, or play the whole first-position scale. Free, like the tuner.

POSITIONS THAT BECOME MUSIC
Learn positions 1-3 through graded landing and shifting drills. Jianpu string roles connect directly to the course so key changes make musical sense.

FREE AND PRO
The tuner, fingering chart, metronome, the first course unit and three imports a month are free. Soloist Erhu Pro Lifetime is a single payment that unlocks the complete course, advanced technique feedback (intonation coaching, position work, slide and vibrato analysis), unlimited on-device imports and the full practice library. It never renews and has no free trial. Earlier subscribers keep Pro and can switch to Lifetime from Settings. Restore Purchases is always available.

The course is taught in English and uses hanzi, pinyin, and plain-English technique names where they help.
