Beautifiul banana-leaf guqin with interesting gold-flakes-like speckles on lacquered surface

Saw pictures of this very beautiful banana-leaf shaped guqin at http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.289.sj12Sq&id=5016694251 with interesting gold-flakes-like speckles on its lacquered surface.

Price: RMB6800, which is about USD1093 or SGD1338. The taobao merchant indicated on the webpage that 10 units are in stock. If you're in Singapore, you can buy it via the reliable Taobao agent www.SgShop.com.sg (no I am not affiliated with SgShop.com.sg, neither do I earn any commission from anyone. haha)

Comes with nylon-metal strings, but you can always change it to silk strings to make the guqin sound much better (i.e., no jarring metallic sounds to cause aural fatigue). Plus silk strings will not scar the lacquered fingerboard of your guqin, unlike nylon-metal strings (ouch!).
