The most important component for stable intonation: the qianjin. The Meishido Gyukaku Erhu Qianjin can firmly stabilize the intonation. Made of ox horn, it has sufficient force to pull the strings towards the neck. It will not break or deform even after years of use, and because it is secured with fishing line, it will not scratch the neck. To produce a beautiful tone, rubber is used to prevent the metal strings from directly touching the hard qianjin. A clear sound without noise resonates well.
