Used NO.229 Antique 1980s Beijing National Instruments Factory Erhu – Old Indian Sandalwood Round Neck, Rosewood Resonator, Strong Projection Tone

This erhu was crafted in the 1980s by the Beijing National Musical Instruments Factory, representing a stable and well-built example of traditional Chinese instrument production from that era. The neck is made from aged Indian sandalwood in a classic round rod design, reinforced with a thicker profile to enhance structural resistance and long-term durability. This design ensures excellent stability even under frequent playing conditions. The resonator is constructed from old rosewood, carefully selected to enhance resonance and tonal projection. This combination of materials gives the instrument a balanced, focused, and expressive sound character. The sound window has been carefully crafted to support tonal clarity and responsiveness. A newly replaced snakeskin ensures reliable performance while allowing the instrument’s aged wood to continue developing its natural tonal depth. With continued playing, the tone becomes increasingly rich and expressive, revealing the natural maturity that only decades-old wood can provide. This erhu is well-suited for both serious learners and performing musicians who value stability, projection, and traditional tonal character.
