GuQin Foldable Dulcimer (Copied from YT video shown above) - This is a custom instrument I built for a gentleman that is loosely based upon an ancient Chinese instrument called a GuQin. Notice the Harmonic Node Markers instead of fret dots and the fact that it is fretless.
Features:
• Fretless
• Harmonic Node Markers
• Steinberger Locking Headless Tuners
• Pickups in the Bridge AND the Nut
• Patent Applied For bridge plate with Ghost Piezo saddles
• Master volume to control both the bridge and the nut at the same time
• Volume control placed to allow Volume Swells with the thumb
• Folds in half to make it small enough to fit in carry-on luggage (Folded Size: 17" long x 7.5" wide x 5.5" tall)
