At the expo, renowned international violin maker Zheng Quan examined one of the violins, praising its high-quality materials, which are rarely seen in mass-produced instruments. "The violin offers excellent sound performance and is suitable for players with a certain level of professional training," said Qi Lin, associate professor of violin at the Central Conservatory of Music.
One buyer from Singapore was so impressed after evaluating Yinuo's products that they upgraded their original order for mid-range violins to high-end models. "I not only witnessed the superb quality of the Phoenix brand but also the craftsmanship spirit of Huangqiao's instrument makers. I look forward to a long-term partnership," the client said.
Qian Junjian, president of Yinuo International, said: "We will continue to enhance our manufacturing precision, tackle challenges in acoustic optimization and new material development, and strive to build a world-renowned brand that represents China's high-end manufacturing."
According to Dai Feng, head of the Huangqiao musical instrument industry cluster, the Phoenix violin's success reflects Huangqiao's long-standing commitment to the instrument sector. Known as the "Violin Capital of China", Huangqiao is home to more than 220 violin production and supporting enterprises.
