With its attention-grabbing brightness in tone as well as its projective capabilities, special attention should be paid to the tone quality and playability of this leading instrument. The Jinghu is typically used in Beijing operas as the solo instrument.
The best Jinghus will project brilliantly in a concert hall and is able to fill a large space without the use of any amplification. Expect a bright, crisp, and ear piercing tone from the best Jinghus.
Unlike the Erhu, the Jinghu uses well-aged and air-dried bamboos to make Jinghu’s body due the high string tension. The snakeskin used here is from a type of water snake. The snake skin used here is remotely different from the Erhu. The snake skin is specially selected, requiring just the right amount of elasticity to ensure the optimal tonal quality for that of a Jinghu.
The tone and handling of the Jinghu can be significantly altered by altering a variety of accessories like strings, bridges, dampers, and more. Do let us know should you want to further customize the tone of your Gaohu before receiving it. All Jinghus will undergo thorough checks by our luthiers before they are sent for shipment. Rest assured when you buy your Jinghu online.
