About the Maker
Song Xiaohui is a luthier with twenty years of deep experience in traditional Chinese instrument making. Song Xiaohui's path as a maker began with rigorous training in an instrument factory. In 2004 he started his entrepreneurial journey, building a solid foundation in wood knowledge and craftsmanship through erhu making. In 2010, he shifted his focus to pipa making, studying under veteran luthier Gao Decai to systematically refine his skills. He later established a 6-mu (approximately 4,000 sqm) workshop in Suxian, Hebei, where traditional handcraft is presented at scale and to consistent standards — ensuring stable, reliable quality in every handmade pipa.
