Ruan
Ruan is a Chinese plucked string instrument. It is a lute with a fretted neck, a circular body, and four strings. Its strings were formerly made of silk but since the 20th century they have been made of steel (flatwound for the lower strings). The modern ruan has 24 frets with 12 semitones on each string, which has greatly expanded its range from a previous 13 frets.
It comes in a family of five sizes:
- Soprano: Gaoyinruan (high pitched ruan; tuning: G3-D4-G4-D5)
- Alto: Xiaoruan (small ruan; tuning: D3-A3-D4-A4)
- Tenor: Zhongruan (medium ruan; tuning: G2-D3-G3-D4)
- Bass: Daruan (large ruan; tuning: D2-A2-D3-A3)
- Contrabass: Diyinruan (low pitched ruan; tuning: G1-D2-G2-D3)
