The Ruan, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, has evolved from its ancient predecessor, the Qin Pipa, to its present-day version, and is celebrated for its rich and mellow sound. Named in honor of the musician Ruan Xian, the Ruan is available in multiple sizes, ranging from high-pitched to bass, and excels in both solo and ensemble settings.
