Hebei Wuyi Guqin production skills: after hundreds of processes to create

Guqin is one of the oldest traditional plucked stringed instruments in China, with a history of more than 3,000 years. A good guqin requires the luthier to examine the wood, open the shape, modify the shape, cut the belly, audition, close the piano, assemble the parts, apply the primer (paint on the wood), wrap the cloth, apply the coarse ash, and apply the middle. Hundreds of processes such as ash, fine ash, sanding, top varnishing, polishing, wiping, and stringing took two or three years to make. The guqin made in this way has the characteristics of wide range, rich timbre and long aftertaste.
