"Qing Hui Ge" is a well-known brand in guqin making, and it is famous for making high quality guqins. Regarding the materials used for the top coatings, there are two main types of top coatings usually used for guqin making: tile ash and antler cream.

Wahui: Wahui is a traditional qin surface coating made from natural materials such as lime and fish bladder glue. It usually takes on a light gray or yellowish color. Many traditional guqins use wahui as a top coating, as it is believed to aid in the ****ing and sound transmission of the instrument.

Lujiaoshuang (鹿角霜) : Lujiaoshuang is a relatively new type of topcoat for the qin, which usually has a clear or yellowish color. It is a synthetic material that some believe has an effect on the performance of the instrument.

Whether tile ash or antler cream is used in the finish of a "Qing Hui Ge" instrument may vary depending on the model, production batch, and individual instrument. Typically, the manufacturer will provide information on the type of finish in the description of the instrument. If you are interested in the top coating for a specific model, we recommend contacting Ching Hu Ge or one of our dealers directly for accurate information. The choice of top coating can affect the sound and feel of the instrument, so this information may be important for guqin enthusiasts.
