We back our instruments with a FULL USA-BASED WARRANTY. The Vermilion Mineral Lacquer on this Guqin allows it to breathe even more than the traditional guqin designs. The resulting tone is that of a slightly more robust, and crisp sound. What the Chinese call "CANG" 苍, may be roughly translated as "Raw" "Unadulterated" or even "Wilderness". This is a quality sought after in the various schools of Guqin. It is a sound quality sought after by those who have a certain level of mastery in the instrument. At this price, we would say, is a huge bonus to any performer.
