On their website, you can see the prices of guqins made from Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty wood.

If you are located in Singapore, you may consider using www.sgshop.com.sg to purchase and seafreight it from China to Singapore. It normally takes at least 3 weeks (about 21 days to seafreight a guqin from China to Singapore). Gentle warning: Please do not use air freight, as guqins may crack due to the expansion and compression of the different materials of woods in the top-board and bottom-board of the guqin during flight.
Important: Please ask the Taobao agent to request the seller, in this case, Nan Feng, to build a wooden crate structure around the hard foam case of your guqin package so that it may survive the sea freight from China to Singapore. Normally it costs an extra RMB100 for the seller or Taobao agent to build the wooden crate, but it's worth it.
If you are located in USA or Europe or Australia etc. you may wish to consider using another reportedly reliable Taobao agent company www.taobaoring.com
