Would you like to own a family heirloom?

A bespoke guqin is a statement of personal taste — an instrument that is entirely your own, one of a kind in the world. It is a choice of refinement, distinction, and character. Throughout Chinese history, scholars and players of the qin have always owned one or even several instruments made to their own vision. A commissioned guqin brings a rare and elevated elegance into your home that nothing else can.
