Product Details
2nd Grade Black Sandalwood "Xin Harmony" Erhu by Award-Winning Maker Zhai Weibing – Intermediate Shanghai Style Model
When you're ready to move beyond your first Erhu, the wood makes all the difference.
This Erhu is crafted from 沉贵宝 (Chengui Bao) — 2nd grade black sandalwood, a dense, dark-grained tonewood known for its strong projection, clarity, and powerful presence. Compared to entry-level models, it delivers a bolder, more articulate sound while retaining the expressive warmth of the Shanghai style.
Designed for advancing players, this instrument offers the ideal balance of playability and performance.
Why This Erhu Stands Out
Bold, Articulate Tone with Strong Projection
Cuts through clearly in ensemble, classroom, and performance settings, making it ideal for advancing students.
Enhanced Shanghai Sound
Maintains the warm, slightly nasal, lyrical character, but with greater depth, volume, and presence than beginner models.
Responsive & Player-Friendly
Easy to control and highly responsive — rewards proper technique without resistance.
Premium 沉贵宝 Black Sandalwood Body
Dense grain with a rich dark lustre, offering excellent resonance, projection, and tonal stability.
Traditional Python Skin Soundboard
Ensures authentic Erhu tone, clarity, and projection, staying true to traditional craftsmanship.
