This is other HRC pin from Taipei. It represents a green large round Yueh-Chin guitar. Its estimated average value is $21.00. Its a rare pin from a two series collection of this traditional asian guitars.
The yueqin (or yueh qin, or yueh chin) is the Chinese "moon-guitar" and looks quite similar to the ruan. For the different yueqin from Taiwan see under.
The body of the yueqin is made from 2 round pieces of soft wood of about 30 cm diameter, for front and back, with a shallow rim of bended hardwood around them (thinner than the ruan). The short neck with the pegbox is made of one piece of wood and joined to the body. The peghead is sickle-shaped and ends in a curl to the front, with usually a special decoration of different woods.
The (10) frets are small strips of bamboo, glued on the neck and front, in a Chinese scale (7 to an octave). Tuning is g d' g' d''.
The 4 long (grooved) friction pegs (with different coloured slices on the ends) are on both sides of the open pegbox. The 4 silk (or nylon) strings are in 2 courses and fixed to a (half round) hardwood bridge which is glued to the front. There is only one tiny sound hole under the bridge.The yueqin is played with a plectrum, in mandolin-style.
