SOUNDBOARD

With the soundboard being said to represent the Heavens, it is a small wonder that the Guqin occupies such a revered position in Chinese society.

Ranging from its enhanced durability, graceful tone color, and high playability, this is definitely a rare find.

LACQUER

The art of lacquering a Guqin is a tedious, intense, yet incredibly rewarding process. From the creation of the lacquer, right down to its application, only in the hands of an experienced Guqin maker can the instrument be brought to life.

Combining both finely ground deer antler as well as prepared sap from the Chinese lacquer tree, Master Fan skillfully applies the mixture in an even fashion over the body of the Guqin. With the entire process taking nearly a year to complete, the resultant Guqin tastefully marries both function and form, looking and sounding great right from the start. Truly the work of an experienced master.

BOTTOM BOARD

The polar opposite of the soundboard, the bottom board represents the Earth we live in, grounding us in reality. With only the best cuts of Catalpa wood being used to create this bottom board, centuries of natural drying has bestowed upon many charming qualities.

YUE SHAN

The Yue Shan is the part which holds the strings above the fingerboard and passes down the vibrations of the strings to the Guqin. Handcrafted to the perfect height, the Ebony bridge is key to the beautiful sound that this Guqin produces.

    Thanks to Dr Hoh and Eight Tones Music for helping me to pick my first qin! It was not an easy feat for a beginner to pick and invest in an appropriate instrument that one could grow into it but they have made the whole process smooth and without pressure! After almost 20 lessons, I am enjoying my lesson more and definitely growing into my Fan Shi Guqin.

    Bought a Fan Shi Zhong Ni 1st Grade Guqin as my first Guqin at Eight Tones Music Store. The staff, Daryl Keuk who attended to me was able to provide clear explanations and good advice on choosing a Guqin. Together with the sales assistant, both were also very patient and brought down many Guqin for me to compare and listen to their sound quality. Delivery was fast and reliable, I got my Guqin delivered to me the very next day. Overall service quality was good and I’m happy with my new Guqin.
