Suwen Qin of DingLiang echoes the classical elegance of the Tang dynasty qin at Horyuji Temple, while innovatively overcoming common practical challenges. Through precision acoustic engineering, its compact body delivers rich, expressive sound that meets professional standards, without sacrificing portability. An innovative matte-grain lacquer finish stays dry and non-slip, even during long playing sessions. The gum (the string anchor at the tail) has been widened and proportionally optimized to fit all hand sizes, especially ideal for beginners. Altogether, it is timeless—yet made for now.
