Great craftsmanship from Shanghai

The build quality is excellent as expected from Factory No. 1. It took a few days to settle the strings, but now it stays in tune very well. A solid choice for beginners entering the world of folk music.

Perfect for my grading exam

I bought this Yueqin for my music grading exam and it performed beautifully. The rosewood body gives it a warm tone that cuts through well in ensemble practice. Highly recommended for students.

Classic Dunhuang quality

There is a reason Dunhuang is the standard. This 637 model resonates wonderfully and has great projection. It is perfect for both practice sessions and small performances.

Authentic sound for Peking Opera

As a performer in a local opera troupe, I needed a reliable backup instrument. This Dunhuang model delivers the authentic bright timbre required for traditional roles. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Excellent value for money

You rarely find this level of quality at this price point. The finish is smooth, the frets are well-set, and it looks stunning. It arrived safely in its hard case.

Good starter instrument

Bought this for my daughter who is just starting to learn. The neck is comfortable for smaller hands, and the sound is clear. Only minor issue was the initial string height, which we adjusted easily.
