Solid Choice

Very happy with this purchase. The sound projection is strong enough for small stage performances. The wooden pegs require some patience to tune but offer a traditional feel.

Exceptional Tone for Opera

The resonance on this Yueqin is incredible. The rosewood body provides a warm, deep sound that cuts through the ensemble perfectly during our Peking Opera rehearsals. The craftsmanship is top-notch.

Perfect for Advanced Players

The fretwork is smooth, allowing for fast runs without buzzing. The tonal balance between the bass and treble strings is excellent. Highly recommend for anyone serious about Chinese traditional music.

Stunning Craftsmanship

The lacquer finish is flawless, and the wood grain on the rosewood is beautiful. It arrived safely in the hard case. It sounds even better than it looks.

Beautiful Instrument

I bought this for my folk music collection. The 'Full Moon' shape is stunning, and the wooden pegs hold tune surprisingly well once you get used to them. The included case is very sturdy.

Professional Quality

Great instrument for the price. The action is low and comfortable. I deducted one star only because the strings needed replacing immediately for my personal preference, but that is common with new instruments.
