The concert was followed by an exhibition of all 400+ competition entries in the NCPA’s underwater gallery, which, as its name implies, resides under the reservoir thatsurrounds the venue—the water shimmers overhead through a glass ceiling. The jury of experts agreed that the level of workmanship of the entries, the majority of which were from Chinese makers, was impeccable. Olivier Pérot, the Canadian delegate on the ruling committee of Entente Internationale des Luthiers et Archetiers, said that in his opinion, the China Competition met the most stringent requirements of other international competitions, including Mittenwald, the Cremona Triennale, and the Violin Society of America.

Designed to withstand the stresses of a student developing proper technique, the traditional horsehair on the bow is ideal for many beginners. Since then, he has tirelessly promoted and expanded the development of violin making in China, trained countless Chinese makers, and won over 20 awards at international competitions.
