A MAKER YOU CAN TRUST

Master Zhang Lian Jun (张连均) has more than 3 decades 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.

WOOD

Black Sandalwood

This Black Sandalwood boasts a beautiful deep dark brown, almost black hue. It is the densest wood used to make erhu. It resonates with a robust and clear tone. It’s tone colour is similar to the Rose Sandalwood Erhu by Zhang Lian Jun, however the Rose Sandalwood Erhu will have an added level of sweetness and bell-like highs.

Your playing will be transcended by the Black Sandalwood Erhu as you intended without any added coloration and effects. It is a truly sublime instrument for recordings and performances.

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 is fitted by hand. When you gently press the skin with your fingers, you will find that it is firm to touch. This ensures that the membrane will resonate the sound box to its maximum potential so as to give you a full and deeper sound.

Cleaning your Erhu – It is a good practice to clean your Erhu after playing it, this would prevent Rosin build up which could be difficult to remove and in extreme cases, damages the Erhu.

How To Season An Erhu

Seasoning an erhu is not by adding pepper and salt till it is well marinated. Instead it refers to the process of breaking-in the instrument till it sounds and plays optimally. When an erhu is new, the skin is taught and firm. By playing on the erhu more frequently, the vibrations from your playing will soften the skin and your erhu will reach its peak performance. This process can take from 3months onwards with at least 15mins of daily playing on the erhu.
