Violins are mostly wood products: violins, cellos and violas? Double bass, etc. Most plucked instruments are also wood products: guitars (except electric guitars) and ukulele Creary. Traditional pianos are also made of wood (except the crystal body). Among the national musical instruments: guzheng, guqin, pipa, flute (bamboo), erhu, Sanhu and other Hu are also wood products.

Violin: The panel is usually spruce with soft texture; The back and side panels are made of maple, which is relatively hard. The head and neck of the piano are all maple, and the fingerboard is ebony. The sound quality of violin basically depends on its wood and corresponding structure, on the vibration frequency of wood and its response to the vibration of strings. A good piano can spread the pitch and overtones of every note equally sensitively.

Piano: Piano soundboards are mainly divided into solid wood veneers (foreign brands generally use solid wood veneers for longitudinal splicing) and multilayer boards (more than 95% of domestic brands are in use). The sound quality of vertically spliced solid wood soundboard is better than that of horizontally spliced multilayer board, but the cost and technological process are higher than that of multilayer board. After strict screening, molding and drying, spruce, fish scales pine and maple with slow growth, high density and uniform annual ring distribution in cold regions are generally selected as the main raw materials.

Guzheng: The panel of guzheng is mostly paulownia in Lankao, Henan Province, and the frame is white pine. There are precious wood such as mahogany, old mahogany (Burmese rosewood), golden nanmu and rosewood on the side panels around the guzheng. The sound quality of the zither depends on the panel and strings, and the surrounding materials also slightly improve the sound quality of the zither, especially the old mahogany, rosewood and golden nanmu.
