I've added the labels found on my pipa and yang qin to my original posting - trying to determine history and value of both...any suggestions? I'm in the USA. Attachments:

Where in the world are you? Will ask my my music teacher on Sunday. You could always put it on ebay and hope for the best.

I spoke to my music teacher. He said your one is not full sized. He also said budget yangqins are difficult to tune with the possilibity of the strings breaking. He guessed that it may be worth £60-£100. I would take this with a pinch of salt as he thinks in rmb and considers my £70 dizi expensive!

That looks like a Huqiu (Tiger Hill) label, from Suzhou.
I'm not sure about it being "not full sized"; it's just a smaller yangqin.
A smaller yangqin might even be more "traditional", whereas the large yangqin is more designed for the concert stage and the large Chinese orchestra.

That is a Huqiu label.
Your Qin is full sized but not a concert 4 octave model. Probably a student or intermediate level model.
I have two "standard" ruans made by Huqiu and they cost about 700 USA dollars. My "concert" level one was 1000k
