Great sound, case could be better
The hammers themselves are fantastic and produce a warm yet piercing tone typical of the Tian school. The included case is functional but a bit thin; I might upgrade it later.

Smooth delivery and quality product
Arrived well-packaged. The bamboo has a nice aged look and feel. Playing fast passages is much easier with these compared to my previous pair.

Authentic Tian Style
As a student of the Tian tradition, these hammers are exactly what I needed. The balance is perfect, and the ebony density is consistent across both sticks.

Very good value
High-quality materials for the price. The sound is crisp. It took a day or two to get used to the weight, but now I prefer them over my old set.

Perfect for advanced players
I switched from standard plastic-tipped hammers to these Tian style ones, and the difference in tonal quality is remarkable. They respond quickly and allow for great dynamic control.

Excellent craftsmanship
These hammers are beautifully made. The ebony heads provide a very clear and bright sound that cuts through the ensemble perfectly. The old bamboo feels sturdy and comfortable in hand.
Q: Is the bamboo treated to prevent cracking?
A: Yes, the old bamboo handles are naturally aged and treated with a protective lacquer finish to enhance durability and prevent splitting.
Q: Does the free case fit two pairs of hammers?
A: The included case is designed to hold one pair of hammers securely. If you need to store multiple pairs, we recommend purchasing an additional multi-slot case.
Q: How do I maintain the ebony heads?
A: Simply wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after playing to remove oils and dust. Avoid using chemical cleaners or exposing them to extreme humidity.
Q: Can I replace the ebony heads if they wear down?
A: The heads are firmly glued and not designed for user replacement. However, with normal care, they are very durable and last for many years.
Q: Are these hammers suitable for a beginner Yangqin student?
A: Yes, while they are professional grade, beginners can certainly use them to develop proper technique and appreciate high-quality tone early on.
