Jinghu is composed of various accessories such as qin burden, qin tube, snake skin, qin bow and so on. To make a good huqin, you are very particular about the tune, the material, and the size. You can choose a suitable Jinghu from the following methods.

Considerations for choosing Jinghu

1. Qin Dazai: The porcelain should be solid, plump, and the pattern should be beautiful, usually using purple bamboo. Purple bamboo is divided into "white purple bamboo", "yellow flower bamboo", "one-line sky", "black tiger" and "yellow tiger". Flower bamboo is divided into "toad flower", "sesame flower" and so on.

2. Tube: The texture should be smooth, the brown eye on the cross section should be large and uniform, the bamboo yellow should be thick, and the bamboo tube should be solid but not too solid, otherwise it will affect the vibration of the sound.

3. Shaft: In the past, boxwood and rosewood were commonly used. The advantages are smooth, delicate and beautiful, but they are easy to bend and deform. Use jujube, ebony, and mahogany. Red sandalwood should not be used as a piano axis, as it will easily hurt the burden.

4. There are three kinds of skins: meat plate, oil plate and crisp plate. Crispy skins are the best because they look good and sound loud. In the past, the Pimengjinghu, the Wuxiao snake produced in Hubei, was the most important. Because it meets the standard of "black as satin and white as thread" for good leather.

5. Bows: use sword bamboo, river reed, phoenix eye bamboo, and single bamboo joint is the best.

The standard of a good Jinghu should be: good materials, good craftsmanship, good sound and volume; in addition, it must have use value, ornamental value and retention value.
