Eason Music Store Concert Cao Huali Wood Zhongruan By Liang Hao

What it is

This is a Zhongruan made from Cao Huali Wood by Liang Hao. The frets are made of a composite material that is as durable as metal frets but produce a sound that is not too metallic. This model gives a warm and clear tone. This model is an upgrade over the basswood model in terms of clarity, sweetness of tone and volume. The playability is excellent, making it a favourite among students in secondary and primary school orchestras.

Lianghao is a maker that we have been working with for sometime. He studied under popular Zhongruan maker Song Guang Ning for sometime and ventured out on his own. His instruments have an uncanny resemblance to Song’s. The tone of his instruments are comparable to Song’s at a fraction of its price.
