Professional Quality

I have been playing for fifteen years, and this is one of the best Dunhuang models I have tried. The solid back panel really distinguishes the sound quality from laminated versions. It handles fast tremolo techniques effortlessly.

Great Sound, Needs Break-in

Fantastic instrument with deep bass and crisp treble. It felt a bit stiff initially, but after a week of playing, the wood has opened up nicely. The Three-Rabbit ceiling motif is unique and culturally significant.

Worth Every Penny

As a semi-professional player, I needed an upgrade from my student instrument. This Pipa responds beautifully to subtle finger movements. The action is perfect right out of the box, and the solid rosewood gives it a premium feel.

Stunning Visuals and Sound

The Peony head shape combined with the Ruyi details makes this instrument a work of art. Beyond looks, the sustain is long and the intonation across all phases is accurate. Highly recommended for serious players.

Beautiful Instrument, Heavy Case

The Pipa itself is flawless with rich overtones and clear high notes. The only minor downside is that the included hard case is quite heavy to carry around for long periods, but it offers excellent protection.

Exceptional Tone for Concerts

I purchased this Dunhuang 20560M for my upcoming recital, and the sound projection is incredible. The rosewood back provides a warm, resonant tone that fills the hall without being harsh. The craftsmanship on the Three-Rabbit design is exquisite.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the 20560M and the 20560 standard model?

A: The 'M' in 20560M typically denotes specific selection criteria for the rosewood grain and the intricate 'Three-Rabbit Cauldron Ceiling' decorative inlay, which is often reserved for higher-end performance batches compared to the standard finish.

Q: Are the strings pre-installed, and what brand are they?

A: Yes, the Pipa arrives fully strung and ready to play. It usually comes equipped with high-quality steel-nylon core strings suitable for professional performance, though many players eventually customize them based on personal preference.

Q: Is this instrument suitable for a beginner who wants to start with a high-quality tool?

A: While a beginner can certainly use this instrument, it is optimized for advanced techniques and professional dynamics. A beginner might find the tension and responsiveness very sensitive. However, if budget allows, it is an excellent instrument to grow into without needing an upgrade later.

Q: Does this model come with a humidity control system in the case?

A: The standard hard case included is high-quality and protective, but it does not have a built-in electronic humidifier. We recommend placing a separate soundhole humidifier or case humidifier inside during dry seasons to protect the solid rosewood.

Q: How should I clean the rosewood back panel to maintain its shine?

A: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth after every session to remove rosin dust and fingerprints. Occasionally, you may use a polish specifically designed for unfinished or lightly finished hardwood instruments. Avoid water or household chemical cleaners.
