Cao Rong 2nd Grade Aged Rosewood Di Yin Erquan Erhu

This erhu is made specially for playing songs like ‘Moon’s reflection on Erquan – 二泉映月’, and ‘Listening to the Pines – 听松’, which uses a lower tuning such as A – E or G – D, unlike the convectional erhus with a D – A tuning. It has a slightly larger soundbox and a slightly longer neck than a conventional erhu to accommodate for the lower pitched tuning. It has the sweet and clean sound of a Shanghai Erhu, whilst retaining the deep and rich characteristics needed for a Di Yin Erhu. When you play an Erhu made by Caorong, you will find the sound traditional yet has the clean, smooth and warm full-bodied tone of a modern Erhu. Built specially for playing erhu classics and lower-pitched tuning, this Di Yin Erquan Erhu will be a great addition to your collection. Have a look at our Erhu demo video.

Sound Box SKIN

The key to a sensitive and good sounding Erhu lies in the resonating skin of the sound box. You will find the skin is stretched to a uniform tension across the sound box  and fitted by hand. When you gently press the skin with your fingers and you will find that it is firm to your touch – this ensures that the membrane will resonate the sound box to its maximum potential so as to give you a full and deep sound.
