Raising to challenges, Aiming for World-Class Standards. On July 13th, the 2025 National Music Education Conference China (Wuhan) Violin Art Symposium & PHOENIX Violin Brand Expert Evaluation was held at the Wuhan Conservatory of Music in Hubei Province. The event was hosted by the China Musical Instrument Association and INNEO International Technology (Hubei) Co., Ltd., and organized by Yunyu Zhiyin Intelligent Musical Instrument (Wuhan) Co., Ltd.

After two decades of development, China's musical instrument industry has become the world's largest producer and manufacturer of musical instruments. Its violin production accounts for over half of the global total. Through the innovative integration of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, the quality of Chinese violins has achieved a qualitative leap. Some purely handcrafted masterpieces are gradually approaching world-class standards, showcasing the exceptional skill and innovative spirit of Chinese violin makers.

INNEO International Technology Co., Ltd., part of the INNEO International Group, is a leading cultural export enterprise integrating intelligent instrument R&D, string instrument manufacturing, technology export, and the deep integration of culture and technology. Headquartered in Jiang'an District, Wuhan, the Group operates three specialized manufacturing facilities in Huangpi District (Wuhan), Taixing (Jiangsu), and Shenzhen. It is a pioneer in the new ecosystem of China's smart instrument and violin industry. In 2024, INNEO Cloud Technology Co., Ltd.'s single entity sales surpassed 200 million RMB, with the Group's total revenue exceeding 400 million RMB.

The violin is a five-century-old handcrafted art form and a resonance of contemporary technology and humanity. As a witness and driving force in the industry's development, deeply involved in planning the domestic violin industry, Sun Ruiyong, Executive Vice Chairman of the China Musical Instrument Association, placed high hopes on INNEO. He stated that as a rising star in the domestic violin industry, INNEO International Musical Instruments Group has precisely seized opportunities of the times. It dares to innovate in product development, emphasizes rigorous testing for quality assurance, prioritizes talent in team building, and adopts a dual approach—both domestic and international, online and offline—in market expansion. He urged INNEO to demonstrate corporate responsibility and commitment, to boldly break through and innovate, setting an exemplary standard for the domestic violin industry.

Mr. Zhao Gencheng, Vice President of the Wuhan Conservatory of Music, appealed from three dimensions—global perspective, technological empowerment, and cross-disciplinary collaboration—emphasizing that the violin is not merely an instrument, but a vehicle for civilizational dialogue. He called for upholding the original aspiration of "Educating for the Future," using the wings of technology to break learning boundaries, nurturing artistic souls with cultural roots, and cultivating musicians of the era with a global vision.

Internationally renowned violin maker and National Craftsman, Zheng Quan, delivered a keynote speech.
