WOOD

Indian Violet Sandalwood

Not to be confused with the African Sandalwood Erhu, this Indian Violet Sandalwood type of wood that you will find in the Beijing forbidden palace used by royalties. Only grown in India, this wood is extremely precious and is currently endangered, the wood that you see today is harvested from old antique furniture passed down from generations. This Indian Violet Sandalwood Erhu is quite literally “Fit for a king” and the tone is extremely sweet, unlike any other Erhu you have ever seen.

Sound Box SKIN

The key to a sensitive and good sounding Erhu lies in the resonating skin of the sound box. Yun Nan skin is a special and extremely rare breed of skin that can only be found in Yun Nan. The skin is extremely resilient and is very elastic. Erhus with this skin have extremely good projection, powerful yet sweet sound, and is louder than most erhus. The skin is also extremely durable and can last for many decades. If you want the ultimate best aged rosewood erhu possible, this is the perfect erhu for you.

HEADSTOCK

The elegant Suzhou styled headstock arch and six-sided tuning pegs, is a traditional design that is unique to the Suzhou styled Erhus.  When you perform with this Erhu, you will find it well-balanced and light, it is less strenuous on your left hand after long hours of playing this Erhu. The headstock and tips of the pegs use Hainan Huang Huali wood in replacement of the conventional bone material. Hainan Huang Huali is the most expensive type of rosewood that can be found, due to its marble looking grains as well as rarity.

1 review for Zhang Lian Jun Indian Violet Sandalwood Wild Skin with Huang Hua Li Head Erhu

  1. Frank Zimmerman

    I have been happy with this very expensive but extremely high grade erhu. It is easy to play — compared to entry levels — and gives a solid core sound at the high register. Even as a beginner, I immediately felt the enhanced responsiveness provided by high end materials compared to your everyday Erhu. Sometimes it’s fun just to admire the gold specks under a flashlight, and the marble textured wood on the end pieces are beauties. It is an instrument that will provide increased enjoyment and resonance with playing and familiarity. Eight tones staff was very helpful. If you are shipping, be prepared — the headstock popped off of mine with the jarring of the shipping process, though it was successfully remounted with horse glue and good as new.
