Welcome to Music of the Orient!
Our instruments are crafted in a traditional style for a superior result. We have Erhus for sale on our site. This python skin instrument is created from farm-raised pythons to preserve the natural population. This unique, traditional Chinese string instrument produces a deeper, resonant sound like that of the cello or viola. We also have the Chinese lute, or Asian Pipa. Because of its popularity with Ruan Xian, an ancient philosopher and intellect, the Chinese Pipa is sometimes called the Ruan. Another plucked Chinese instrument we offer is the Asian gekkin, or Chinese moon guitar. The round shape of this yueh-ch'in is what has earned it the name of Chinese moon-zither. Finally, we also have the Chinese Guzheng, a moveable bridge instrument. The Asian zheng instrument belongs to the zither family, a cousin of the Western autoharp. Our instruments come with 24/7 support services with online instructional videos and other great resources. Our staff includes professional musicians, so we know what any artist could need.
