Ultra thick old string

It is said that Guan Pinghu preferred ultra thick strings. His strings were all made to order. This was not unlikely, for at the back of the string wrapping of Fang Yuting Cooperative for the Production of Strings, there was the claim that “silk strings of all thickness are produced”. Zheng Minzhong was a student of Guan Pinghu, and his habit of using strings may also have been influenced by his teacher.
The diameter of this string is longer than the first string of jiazhong Taigu String, so the specification is different from that of ordinary strings. This string is formerly in the collection of Zheng Minzhong and its production date is unknown.
