Guqin Strings, product of Suzhou No.1 National Musical Instrument Factory

In the 1990s, the quality of qin strings was the poorest. The Suzhou National Musical Instrument Factory had abandoned the Jinyu String brand. The package was changed into a small paper box labelled with the characters gu qin xian (guqin strings). “Jinyu Strings” was included on the lower left hand corner of the box as a small label. On top of the name of the manufacturer, the trademark of the “Huqiu” brand was included.
All the strings of this exhibit are tied with red threads and were produced after the 1990s.
