Exceeded my expectations for performance

Used this for a local cultural festival performance and received many compliments. The volume is sufficient for ensemble play, and the intonation is accurate across all positions. The Xinghai brand really delivers on quality for this model.

Solid construction, rich tone

The Guibou wood gives this pipa a very distinct, deep sound compared to cheaper sandalwood models. It holds tuning very well even after long practice sessions. The finish is glossy and smooth. Deducting one star only because the included picks were a bit thin.

Great value for an intermediate player

As someone transitioning from a student instrument, this pipa is a significant upgrade. The rosewood body feels solid and premium. My only minor critique is that the strings needed replacing immediately for my taste, but that is common with new instruments.

Perfect for my conservatory exam

I bought this Model 8913 for my final year exam and it performed beautifully. The Guibou wood provides a warm, resonant tone that filled the examination hall without being too shrill. The frets are well-positioned, making fast passages much easier to execute.

Beautiful sound right out of the box

I was nervous buying an instrument online, but this exceeded expectations. The setup was perfect, and the tone is clear and bright. It came with a sturdy hard case which gave me peace of mind during shipping. A wonderful choice for beginners who want room to grow.

Professional quality at a reasonable price

I have been playing for ten years and this Xinghai pipa rivals instruments costing twice as much. The projection is excellent for stage performance, and the craftsmanship on the headstock is intricate and beautiful. Highly recommended for serious adults.
