Code : TT 57

Introduction :

Zhongruan (or zhong ruan中阮, literally means "medium ruan"), is a Chinese plucked string instrument. Take note that it is different from a “moon guitar”(or Yue Qin月琴), which also has a round sound box, but with shorter neck. The zhongruan has a straight neck with 24 frets on the fingerboard and 4 strings. It is usually played with a plectrum (guitar pick). It can also be played with fingers (index finger and thumb with acrylic nails), which is similar to the way of playing the pipa (琵琶). The zhongruan is a tenor-ranged instrument in the family of ruan (阮). In ancient China, the ruan was called Qin Pipa (Qin Dynasty Pipa 秦琵琶) or Ruan Xian (阮咸). Now the ruan has expanded to different sizes and the zhongruan is the "medium" one.

簡介：

中阮（字面意思解作『中型的阮』），是中國的彈撥樂器。中阮與『月亮結他』（或稱作月琴）是不同的。月琴雖然也有一個圓形的共鳴箱，但琴頸較短。中阮的琴頸筆直，有4條弦線及24個音板在指板上。通常用撥子（結他撥子）彈撥弦線演奏，也可以用手指（食指和拇指戴上丙烯酸指甲）彈撥弦線，演奏方法類似演奏琵琶。中阮在阮的家族中，音域屬於男高音範圍。在中國古代，阮被稱為秦琵琶（秦朝代的琵琶）或阮咸。時至今日，阮的體積已發展至不同大小，中阮是屬於『中型的』。
