Jinyu Strings, product of Suzhou No.1 National Musical Instrument Factory (produced in the 1970s)

In the 1970s, the local state-owned Suzhou No.1 National Musical Instrument Factory was renamed the Suzhou National Musical Instrument Factory. The Jinyu Strings produced was in paper wrapping. However, the characters for the name “Jinyu Strings” were not in the same font type as that used in the past but were in a style written with a brush.
In this exhibit, the first to the fourth strings are still tied with the end of the strings, reinforced with a red thread; the fifth to the seventh strings and the spare string are tied together with red threads.
