Crafted for the discerning performer, the Coco CAR015 Master-Grade Erhu is a beautifully handcrafted instrument designed for advanced players, professional musicians, and serious conservatory students. Built in Suzhou, China—a region renowned for producing exceptional traditional Chinese string instruments—the CAR015 combines premium aged rosewood construction with carefully selected professional-grade components to deliver outstanding tonal depth, projection, and responsiveness.

The instrument features a master-grade aged rosewood body and neck, complemented by an intricately carved dragon motif sound window and elegant traditional detailing throughout. The ethically sourced burmese python skin, certified with the China National Wildlife Mark (CNWM), provides the authentic resonance and tonal character expected from a professional-quality erhu.

Fitted with Deshuai Professional Grade High Tension strings, a tiger sandalwood bridge, and gold-finish fine tuners, the CAR015 offers excellent tuning stability, dynamic response, and expressive performance suitable for solo, ensemble, and stage use.

Completing the outfit is a traditional Beijing-style bow, a durable hard protective case with built-in hygrometer, spare professional accessories, instructional materials, and official wildlife certification—providing everything needed for performance, transport, and long-term care.

Whether performing on stage, recording in the studio, or refining advanced techniques, the Coco CAR015 delivers the craftsmanship, reliability, and authentic sound expected from a professional-grade erhu.
