After several trips to China, and lots of sourcing around, Cadenza Finally has opened a Guqin store, and with the help of Master Ma Weiheng, and Nan Feng Guqin Luthier, we managed to source for reasonably priced Guqins, with woods at least 150 years old, and strings and parts from Taiko. The accessories will be up within days, and i'm thinking abt having a guqin only accessories page, how about that? www.cadenzamusic.biz/guqin.htm

Wonderful! i check it out straight away!
Guqin accessories can be numerous depending how much you include. Strings (silk, steel / nylon, prof / standard, etc), tuning pegs are the main ones.

Hi, I agree, this is great news! Now, if you could bring in a no-frills guqin table for under $100.... Hmmm. Best, K.

$100 is not possible from here, cos the shipping itself is more than that, lest you can allow for sea shiping.
i'm trying to get a regular enough supply of Taiko strings. There is also another version, which has added thickeness, at $130 a set. Books, are a plenty over here, though not many ancient scores though. I'm in contact with China's largest professional bookstore, and working on 1 entire catalogue of 1400 books at really cheap prices (under $20 inlusive of shipping) for most books. CDs too! Though hugo is my largest supplier, it never hurts to have more choices.
Any things you guys might want?

they are not catalogued yet, sadly.
Most people ask for a set of books, including scores, and we'll source for them!

I have ordered books, CDs, VCDs, misc supplies and instruments from Cadenza and thus can atest to Yinhao as a good source. I have not usually known specific books to request, but Yinhao is knowledgable and resourceful and has always come up with good recommendations.
Best wishes,
David

Hi,
Where abouts in Singapore is your shop - i will look it up this May. I do remember a man teaching Guqin I think it was in this shopping centre in chinatown (damn I forget the name - opposite peoples park shopping centre - full of tourist souveneirs). I usually go to Karl Heng for my gu qin CDs but I think guqin is not very popular in singapore unfortunately!!! I was this only person I ever met that liked it (apart from that teacher)!!
