Product Details
The Zhonghu is like the alto of the Huqin family. The construction of a Zhonghu is similar to that of an erhu, but with a larger neck and resonator. The strings are tuned to a fifth lower than that of an Erhu.
The Zhonghu produces a deep and mellow tone, similar to that of a Viola, but more expressive.
One of Yu Kai Ming's excellent batch of Zhonghus, this one made from Violet Sandalwood will surely serve performers well,
It has a warm and mellow timbre (especially in the lower registers) with clean and articulate high registers.
