Every one of these is a single hand-made instrument — the wood, the grain and the sound all differ — so we will not pass a generic photograph off as this one. Ask us on LINE or by phone and we will photograph this actual piece for you, with the details and the price.

About this item
"Wood Treatment Features: The raw wood is given fine polishing that preserves the material's own sense of breath and layered grain, letting light flow softly across the surface—not only improving the feel but also making the resonance of the sound more naturally pure.
Craftsmanship Features: The pipa's back panel is finely inlaid with a flower-and-bird design using the flat-color mother-of-pearl (luodian) technique, drawing on the iridescence of natural shell that shifts with the light, revealing delicate layers. Through repeated polishing, the decoration and the wood surface become as one, smooth and lustrous as a mirror. With unfurling flowers and leaves and lively birds, vitality is seen within stillness; this not only adds to the beauty of the object but also embodies traditional auspicious symbolism and the imagery of Eastern aesthetics.
Head Flower: Designed in a peony motif, with finely carved lines, clear layering, and an overall rounded, generous form. Symbolizing wealth and good fortune, it combines traditional meaning with decorative beauty, adding a composed and elegant temperament to the instrument."
