Choosing the Right Yangqin
An instrument should support development — not limit it.
As students advance, instrument quality directly influences tone clarity, resonance, projection, and technical control.
The correct instrument does not merely produce sound — it enables refined development and prevents technical limitations at higher levels.
An upgrade may be appropriate when:
-
Repertoire requires extended range
-
Tone projection lacks consistency
-
Competition preparation begins
-
Intermediate level studies start
Every recommendation is based on the student’s level, goals, and long-term progression — not trend or brand preference.
