Exceeded expectations for an intermediate instrument

I've been playing for five years and needed an upgrade. This instrument offers projection and clarity that rivals much more expensive models. The sustain is excellent, and the included hard case is very sturdy. A fantastic value.

Beautiful craftsmanship

The attention to detail on this Lehai Pipa is impressive. The inlay work is delicate, and the finish on the Dalbergia Fusca is smooth without being slippery. It arrived well-packaged and stayed in tune immediately after unboxing.

Solid choice for exams

My teacher recommended this model for my upcoming conservatory audition. The tone is balanced across all four strings, and the volume is sufficient for a small hall. I deducted one star only because the included picks were a bit thin for my taste, but the instrument itself is top-notch.

From beginner to pro ready

I started as a complete novice, and this Pipa grew with me. Now three years later, I am tackling advanced repertoire, and the instrument still performs flawlessly. The resonance of the wood really shines in slower, melodic pieces.

Great sound, minor setup needed

The 'Xian Xia You Yu' model looks stunning and sounds rich. I had to adjust the bridge slightly upon arrival to get the action perfect for advanced techniques, but once set up, it plays beautifully. The wood grain on the back is gorgeous.

Perfect for my first recital

I bought this Lehai Pipa for my daughter who is preparing for her grade 3 exam. The Dalbergia Fusca wood gives it a warm, resonant tone that surprised us given the price point. The frets are well-placed and smooth, making it easy for small hands to navigate. Highly recommended for students.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the scale length of this Pipa model?

A: The scale length is standard for a full-size concert Pipa, measuring approximately 62 cm from the nut to the bridge, ensuring proper intonation across the fretboard.

A: Yes, we sell replacement bamboo fret kits compatible with the DJ13X model. Fret maintenance is normal for any Pipa, and our support team can guide you through the replacement process if needed.

Q: Is the Dalbergia Fusca wood treated to prevent cracking in dry climates?
