Info on a Qin maker/manufacturer

[Gishin]

Hi again

I just would like to know if anyone has experience with instruents made by this maker.

My wife just decided to get me a new Qin since my old one was bringing nothing but frustration. Any opinions will be welcomed. She wanted to purchase it directly from China since she was adamant the people selling online in English so far would be selling for way more than the actual value and that the Chinese Ebay sellers were mostly crooks selling unknown firewood at high price.

I truly hope she did not get raped on this one

I'd like to recommended you guqin from this link:
www.jy-cn.cn/cpsj/guqin/
Their guqin are fairly good.
D series is approximately 1000usd.
C series ----> +/-1500usd
(I don't know shipping charge)

Thank you for the info.

Seems she already purchased the one mentioned previously.

Her rational was that comments on this maker's selling page seemed quite honest and positive plus her theory is also that such a Qin would be sold for double the price or more on Ebay or other sites that cater to English speakers.

She is convinced that so far all the sellers of Qin that cater to Non Chinese are raping us and I start to believe based on prices and also comparing with the prices of other instruments and items.
