You must read this before you buy a guqin from any seller to gain your knowledge of how to select a guqin:

The guqin is a unique Chinese musical instrument. Making it is a very complicated process, and a good guqin can last thousands of years. A guqin must be hand made by specialists using special wood and lacquer. There are currently less than 10 qualified guqin makers in China. Each can probably make 20 or fewer guqins each year. Many of them own small home factories. First choice is guqins hand made by those makers. Second choice is guqins from their factory. These guqins can usually only be found in private guqin schools or guqin shops.  If you try to find a guqin made by a big factory or brand in a public store please be careful, and preferably take a specialist to look at it first, since most them are probably unplayable.
