Suitable for
- Beginners who wants a very good Erhu to start them off.
- Advanced and intermediate players looking for an instrument with a good dynamic range for greater expression.
Why you should buy it
- To produce a rich and thick tone
- Choose your headstock: the Carved Lattice, hand-cut in a traditional Chinese window pattern, or the Classic Curved for a clean, timeless look.
- Prevents erhu moving around with an intricately carved anti-slip baseplate (instead of using a non-slip mat)
Why some might not want it
- Tone might not sound as sweet as other Suzhou erhus
