My local shop can sell to order a traveling guqin that is smaller than the usual. I thought its a nice idea if you want to take it on a hike.....

Those are expensive! Are they really made by those masters?

The pics are lifted from "sunboy1976" from ebay. The prices are absolutely inflated - in some cases the seller just put a dollar sign in place of the RMB for his "list price". The Wang Peng in question is an entry level instrument available for ~$900US.
The Zhang Yuxin model Q001 "discount" is almost $1000US more than offered by sunboy1976 and it uses exactly the same pic.
The prices would almost understandable if this company were in the US and the inventory had already been imported. However they are located in Fujian.

I must not comment on the owner here, due to several reasons. However, would like to share if asked privately.
