A MAKER YOU CAN TRUST

Master Zhang Miao is the 3rd generation of JInghu makers in his family. The Zhang family has been making Jinghus in Beijing for more than 6 decades. From picking the materials, to the air-drying process, and finally making the Jinghu Master Zhang Miao does it personally by hand just like his grandfather did. Master Zhang Miao and his family has made numerous Jinghus for famous Beijing Opera musicians in China, and can be considered as one of the best Jinghu makers still making Jinghus the traditional way today.

WOOD

Purple Bamboo

Purple Bamboo has its own reknown tone quality that is highly sought after by Jinghu makers and players alike. Both the neck and soundbox is made using purple bamboo. The purple bamboo has been air-dried for more than 10 years before used to make the Jinghu. This well dried purple bamboo confers upon the Jinghu its signature clean and bright tone required in Beijing Opera. Definitely a worthy instrument to add to your collection.

SOUND BOX SKIN

The key to a sensitive and good sounding Jinghu 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.
