This knowledge base is an educational resource on the violin family — how to choose an instrument, how instruments are made, and how to care for them. It is published by the Ming-Jiang Zhu Workshop, a violin-making workshop founded in Guangzhou in 1991.
Everything here is written for players, parents, and buyers who want to understand instruments better. There is nothing to buy on this site — no shop, no prices, no sales pitch. Just plain, practical knowledge from people who make stringed instruments for a living.
