Redeem Points 

With its bombastic, strident tone, this is an instrument with a great deal of character. Once mastered, you will have in your hands an instrument with a confident, strong tone, allowing you to shine on any occasion.

For many individuals, the lows of a Zhonghu are the embodiment of its soul. Conjuring up images of a grizzled boxer, the grit and edginess of its lower registers are akin to a loudspeaker, sending the Zhonghu’s sound all the way to the last seat of the concert hall. Retaining the same extent of intrinsic power even as it ascends into the higher registers, this is definitely not a Zhonghu for the meek.

A MAKER YOU CAN TRUST

Master Zhang Lian Jun (张连均) has more than 30 years of industry experience and hails from a family of huqin makers. In his youth, Zhang honed his craft from one of the oldest surviving huqin makers – Master Wan Qi Xing (万其兴) for more than 20 years.

Zhang fervently believes in the old traditional methods of erhu making as he trusts the wisdom of the older generation master luthiers passed down upon him, however, he also believes in constantly fine-tuning the designs for the current generation. Xin Yue Qin Fang has earned its reputation as being the industry leader through its fine craftsmanship, quality control, tonal excellence.

WOOD

Black Sandalwood

Well aged and treated, the Black Sandalwood used in making this Zhonghu exudes a posh glamor. Contributing significantly to the instrument’s strident sound, the projection that the octagonal design confers to it acts to further amplify its power, adding an incredible amount of grit to it.

Sound Box Membrane

The key to a sensitive and good sounding Zhonghu lies in the resonating membrane of the sound box. You will find the membrane is stretched to a uniform tension across the sound box  and fitted by hand. When you gently press the membrane 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 powerful and deep sound.

Featuring the usage of Boxwood and Rosewood, it stands out against the Zhonghu’s inky hue, allowing viewers to find a juxtaposing beauty in this instrument’s aesthetic.
