Where can I find high-quality guqin？

The external features of a guqin include the body, surface, shaft, and string axis. The body of a guqin is the main part, which can be divided into three types: long body, short body, and small body, with the long body being the mainstream. The visible part on the piano surface has seven string tracks and thirteen badges. The shaft refers to the axle used for the strings, and buyers need to check if it is in good condition and if there is excessive wear. The chord axis refers to the mechanical part used for tuning and also needs to be checked for completeness.
In terms of the current purchase rate of the guqin market, many guqin enthusiasts fall into two misconceptions when choosing guqin: one is the diaosi type, which is cheaper to buy, completely disregarding factors such as guqin quality, timbre, and pianist. They pursue the ability to play as long as possible, ultimately resulting in playing halfway due to poor timbre, hand feel, and other reasons, and cannot start and finish well. The second (tycoon type) is which one is more expensive to buy. Buyers of this type blindly focus on the most expensive qin made by Zhuo Qin, believing that the more expensive the qin, the better. Little do they know how much money they have spent in the process. The qin produced by Jiuyin Guqin Workshop has a wide range of sounds, deep timbre, and long lasting notes, which have the advantage of Eastern cultural characteristics! It also reveals a graceful, profound, and unpredictable mood, meaning, and artistic conception in the sense of music! Moreover, its cost-effectiveness is quite high, without the exaggeration after hype, but only the silence of thick accumulation and thin hair. Teacher Wang Peng, the Wuqin, is indeed good at playing the qin, but due to his fame after the Olympics, The price of the piano made by Professor Wang Peng naturally skyrocketed. In addition to the piano produced by the supervisor, it is necessary to purchase at least 40W of the piano made by Professor Wang Peng. In summary, the qin is not expensive, nor should it be greedy for cheap. The key lies in its high cost-effectiveness, as the saying goes, If a person does not speak, the qin speaks to itself.
The price of guqin in the market is very complex, and the price may vary depending on the production process, material, and level of guqin. At present, the price of guqin on the market is generally between several thousand to several hundred thousand yuan. Generally speaking, guqin priced below 10000 yuan belongs to the entry-level category and is made by some mid to low grade wood and simple craftsmen. Although they are relatively affordable, their sound quality and appearance are relatively mediocre. If it is used as an introductory practice for beginners, it is still acceptable, but if it is used as a professional performer, it is difficult to choose this type of guqin to achieve a high-level performance effect. Guqin priced between 10000 and 30000 yuan belongs to the middle class and is made by some high-level qin craftsmen. Most of these qin craftsmen have years of learning and practice, and have certain professional skills in selecting qin body materials, developing production tools, and carving qin bodies. Therefore, the sound quality and appearance of this type of qin can be improved to some extent, and there may also be some artistic value. Guqin with a price of over 50000 yuan is a relatively high-end one, handmade by senior craftsmen. It usually uses high-quality materials such as cowhide and purple bamboo, and the craftsmanship of the qin body is more complex. It may even undergo special decoration, carving, and other processing techniques, and the sound quality is also good, which is likely to be considered top-notch. However, due to the high price, generally only some collectors or enthusiasts will purchase.
