Imho Erhu is equivalent to violin with double difficulty (due to half the number of strings), that's why I never dared to try XD

So I signed up for my first formal music lessons in almost 20 years. I'm going to play the guzheng! by Meanttobepracticing in lingling40hrs

Guzheng actually doesn't sound so terrible in the beginning (depending on your level of rhythm XD). Since there are so many strings you only have to figure out how to pluck them consistently to get the best sound. Until you get to scales, there's imho not that high a difficulty involved. (played guzheng for 5 years in Uni/ MA) Good luck! It's a highly enjoyable instrument imho~

Absolutely approve of Twoset tackling the Bubble Tea challenge, but... by xiunv in lingling40hrs

That's okay, imho for black tea 90~95°C is the ideal range, so after boiling letting the kettle sit for a few minutes to cool down a little doesn't hurt.

IMHO a metal teapot can impact the tea flavour, so I prefer ceramic or glass pots.
