Description
A simple design for the beginners’ Guqin no doubt, but this instrument is made in the same sequence as the ones that cost ten to twenty times as much. Using recovered Chinese-Fir from columns of buildings slated for demolishing by the Chinese government, this instrument could possibly be the next collectors’ item in several decades, provided the performer takes pristine care and plays on it constantly. The wood has met the requirements for moisture content, and the grains patterns are still even, displaying the potential of this instrument.
Tone wise, the instrument is clear and crisp for all notes. Harmonics ring clearly and the instrument is guaranteed by the manufacturer to be free of inherent flaws such as rasping sounds when strings are pressed. The subtle overtones are perfect for Qin performances and the Guqin resonates well having sufficient sustain on its own for the performers. On the negative side, this Qin has a very direct tone, and may lack the inner depth of tone in some performers opinion. , so desired in many collectors’ Guqin.
Overall, this instrument is a perfect start to a budding Qin performers’ practice.
