Overview
Strumming a yueqin means working with a Chinese moon lute, and this Dunhuang model is built from rosewood with a varnish finish. Three strings run over the neck, and a case comes with the instrument.
A traditional Chinese instrument with a case in the package. The limit is detail: the listing gives no tuning, string type or scale length, and tags the instrument loosely as both banjo and guitar.
Who it's for
A student or collector who wants a moon lute with its own case will find the basics here. Players needing a guitar or banjo, or full construction specs, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Traditional moon lute design
- Tuning not described
- String material not listed
- Listing has no description
- Weight is substantial
Performance notes
The rosewood body acts as the sound chamber for the three strings. Scale length, action and tuning are all missing, so the playing feel is not described.
