The Pipa (left) :An exquisite guitar-like instrument (played by Incubus guitarist!). It is delicate & refined, bound to keep you enchanted! Made of full block redwood (back-board) and paulownia-wood (top board) the instrument comes with picks & tuner!
The Ruan (right) : It is a lute with a fretted neck, a circular body, and four strings. Its strings were formerly made of silk but since the 20th century they have been made of steel (flatwound for the lower strings). The modern ruan has 24 frets with 12 semitones on each string, which has greatly expanded its range from a previous 13 frets. It will come with picks & tuner too & suits those in love with acoustic sounds.
Both instruments are made by Shanghai DunHuang Musical Instruments.
