Solid practice instrument
Very happy with this purchase for daily practice. The volume is sufficient for a small room, and the tuning holds well. The included bag is a nice bonus for carrying it to classes.

Excellent craftsmanship
The raw lacquer finish feels smooth and high-quality. I've been playing for three years and needed an upgrade for exams; this Zhongni style model has great projection and sustain. The setup out of the box was perfect.

Great sound, minor shipping delay
The instrument itself is fantastic. The tone is clear and the strings are easy to press for a beginner like me. Only giving 4 stars because shipping took a week longer than expected, but the free shipping made up for it.

Beautiful aesthetic and sound
The crackle pattern on the lacquer is stunning in person. It looks like an antique but plays with modern reliability. My teacher was impressed with the resonance during my last lesson.

Best value for money
I compared many brands before choosing Yangzhou Qinghui. For the price, you cannot beat the quality of the aged wood and the pure lacquer work. It sounds much more expensive than it is.

Perfect for my first Guqin
I was nervous about buying a Guqin online, but this Qinghui instrument exceeded my expectations. The aged fir wood gives it a warm, deep tone that doesn't sound tinny at all. The deer horn frost pattern is beautiful and authentic. Highly recommended for beginners!
Q: How long does the free shipping usually take?
A: Free shipping typically takes 7-14 business days depending on your location. We use secure packaging with extra foam to ensure the Guqin arrives safely without damage.
Q: What is the difference between 'Raw Lacquer' and regular polish?
A: Raw lacquer (Qi) is a traditional natural finish derived from tree sap. It is more durable, eco-friendly, and enhances the vibration of the wood compared to synthetic chemical polishes, resulting in a richer tone.
Q: Can this instrument be used for professional performances?
A: Absolutely. While marketed as excellent for beginners, the aged fir wood and high-quality craftsmanship provide sufficient volume and tonal complexity for exams and stage performances.
Q: Is the 'Deer Horn Frost' pattern natural or painted on?
A: The Deer Horn Frost pattern is a natural result of the aging process of the raw lacquer over time and temperature changes. While we accelerate this slightly for consistency, it is an authentic characteristic of the finish, not hand-painted.
Q: Does this Guqin come pre-strung and ready to play?
A: Yes, the Yangzhou Qinghui Guqin comes fully strung with nylon-wrapped metal strings and is adjusted at the factory. You may need minor tuning upon arrival, but it is ready to play immediately.
