Musical instruments good to the ear and kind to the earth

We have been making wonderful music with our Eco-Huqins, a family of string instruments created and developed by us that has been winning awards for five consecutive years. Their rich timbre, wide range and amazing versatility are showcased in the chamber concert series ‘String Stories’ in the past few seasons, and impressed so many seasoned music lovers that we have won a faithful following. For this season, we are going to make it another bravura challenge for our string virtuosi: the programme covers idiosyncratic sounds from Argentina, Chinese narrative singing, western Jazz, Mongolian Urtiin duu and more.
