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. Many instruments in the market today sounds marvelous at the start but often dip in quality over a short time, however, Zhang’s instruments are built to last and also sounds good even when new due to the traditional elements he has retained.

Instruments crafted by Zhang Lian Jun are more than just top-quality instruments. They are all unique and masterly crafted works of art. As such, Xin Yue Qin Fang has earned its reputation as being the industry benchmark through its fine craftsmanship, quality control, tonal excellence.
