Description: | Yueqin', lute with four strings arranged as two double courses. The peg-box terminates in a flat, shaped finial with a label printed with Chinese characters. The body is a circular shell varnished a golden colour. The table and back are flat and are of light brown wood. The bridge is half moon shaped, of dark brown wood (this has been re-glued in the wrong place). There are four side entrant pegs, two from each side. The pegs are tapered and fluted with six ridges. There are three raised frets on the fingerboard, and six raised frets glued to the soundtable. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | lutes wood nylon guitars metal thread | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-12501 |
