Everyone praises the song of the instrument, but not who made it. This is such a beautiful art, making ancient instruments like these. The song is beautiful because the person who made the instrument put all their effort on it, all their love. Being able to create these kind of instruments is an art just as beautiful as the person who is able to plays it!
You can tell he puts a lot of love and effort into making each qin. Respect to this man. For those interested the tune playing in the video is called 离骚 (Li Sao; Encountering Sorrow)
ni hao, I love the culture of qin and tea. I have a dream to take a guqin but here in brasil we haven't it. Much people wants too. I want to make mine but everyone says I can't. I will like if you help me to find the details of measurement and made this to show more of chinese culture and music to all. xiexie
The making process is requires experience. Require certain types of aged wood to make the gu Qing. Especially the thickness of the wood affects the sound. Masters take many years to learn to make.
@@eunoki5092 Ah, but you don't need to be a master to try. And, you don't need specific types of aged wood, that is simply how it has been done. You could make one out of plastic or metal if you really wanted to. It would change the texture of the sound, but the instrument would still be a Guqing. It is why plastic instruments exist, they're for beginners that don't want to invest too much into a good quality instrument before knowing if they want to play for real or not.
If ultimately your goal is to have both and you don’t have musical background with chinese intrustments, then maybe you can start with Erhu, you can get a sense of the music rhythms and the Chinese scores are easier to read for erhu. For Gu Qing the notation are abit more complex.
It depends. It can range from a few hundred to a few thousands. Probably $300-$5000 and more (exquisites kind made from certain masters) but it’s important to buy those made from pure lacquer as I hear the cheaper certain “mass produced” done use pure lacquer on their Qing.
Most instruments made by hand by craftsmen take about as long. And also remember that they are making multiple at a time, it is not like they are spending 18 whole months on a single instrument.

Always good to learn a new guqin tune!
Crushed pearls and gemstones... That's one way to use those.

Yes, I second some of the other comments, what was this crafter’s business’s name?
Excuse me, Can you tell me the brand name of this guqin?

Music in background: Li Sao (Qu Yuan's Lament)

CORNU CERVI is the best standard material of lacquer mixture, not pearls and gemstones.

I can’t decide between getting one of these or an erhu. Of course my ultimate goal is to have both, but which one should I start with?

好！
So... Where buy this??
perfectttt
How much does such an instrument cost?

Name of this song?
18 months? huh?

I'd buy one on amazon but their like $250
That's insanely cheap. If you were paying $250, you wouldn't be getting THIS

看到穿着满族人的马褂怀古就想笑。
中国的现实是拥有56个民族. 而且中国古代也有胡服骑射. 你们不是中国人的, 要好好学习再来评论, 不要闹笑话.
你确实挺可笑的
@@d3695125 我觉得春晚五十六个民族出场时，只有汉族不穿传统服饰而穿着满族服饰与欧美服饰结合的旗袍中山装，我比你更想笑。这绝对不是种族主义，而是对汉人传统的侮辱，我说的绝对不过分。
