Wang Gen Xing is arguably one of the best Erhu makers in China. He is the chief Erhu engineer of Dunhuang - Shanghai No.1 National Musical Instruments Factory.
Besides overseeing the production of thousands of Erhus everyday, he produces his own signature Erhus as well in the comfort of his home. His Erhus are very much sought after because of its exceptional tone. They say it is the most Erhu sounding Erhu you will ever find.
The scarcity of stocks is also one of the reasons for its high value. He's already in his 70s and has a day job supervising Erhu production in Dunhuang so he has a very slow production line. His name has such high intrinsic value that people fake his name on their Erhus to sell at a higher price.
You are looking at his Aged Rosewood Erhu on the left. The first thing you noticed when you lay your hands on this instrument is the excellent workmanship and attention to detail.
His instrument sounds good at first touch and the potential it has is tremendous. Even 2-3 years down the road you will find that the Erhu gets even better and better....
