Indian Small Leaf sandalwood is the holy grail wood of all Erhus. It is very rare and one of the top woods used for making Erhus. Because it is so valuable, it is usually paired with the best piece of snakeskin that the maker can find.
The result? An Erhu that is super rich and creamy with a tone that is both loud and penetrative.
This particular Erhu is all of the above. We personally tested and got this in person from established Suzhou maker XCF.
If you are looking for the Ferraris of Erhus, this is it!
Regardless of your skill level, this Erhu will be the shining star in your collection of Erhus!
