The story of Stroh Violin is not limited to its development in the West, it also holds a place in the history of Chinese music. The Stroh Violin (collection number: E1339) in the Museum of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, is an important physical evidence in the history of Chinese music and recording technology. It not only represents how Western technology was introduced into Chinese culture during the colonial period, but also witnesses the transition of Chinese music from tradition to modernization. This qin was originally used by Chinese bands in Myanmar in the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting the influence of British culture on Myanmar during colonialism from 1886 to 1948.

Stroh violin has a length of 62cm and a width of 24cm. It was originally collected by the Burmese Chinese Society Jiande Society in Yangon, Myanmar. The production of the violin body uses metal resonators instead of wooden speakers, which is very different from traditional violins in terms of sound. The horn installed at the end of the violin fingerboard can resonate the bowstring directly in one direction. Under the resonator below the violin, there is also a feedback small horn facing the direction of the player's ear, which is similar in function to headphones in modern pop concerts or Ear Monitor facing performers on stage. The preciousness of the collections of Academia Sinica lies in their "bloodline" and production techniques - compared to the rough and rugged Viola cu goarn ă that Romanian folk modified themselves, the collection and preservation of Stroh Violin is closely related to the efforts of Chinese musicologist and musician Lin Xinlai. Mr. Lin Xinlai has been conducting field research on Taiwanese folk music for a long time and has discovered the valuable musical heritage of Stroh Violin. This instrument played an important role in both recording studios and folk music performances in Taiwan at that time. Especially in the 1920s and 1930s, with the popularity of vinyl records, Stroh Violin became an indispensable member of the recording studio with her unique timbre. During the Japanese occupation period, Taiwanese record companies such as Columbia Records Taiwan in Dadaocheng used Stroh Violin for recording early popular songs.
