Replica of Ming Dynasty bronze guqin for aficionados of jade bridge, jade pegs, jade "dragon gum bumpers," and jade goose feet

Alert to aficionados of all things related to Ming Dynasty: this seems to be a replica of a famous Ming Dynasty metal guqin called the "龙音渊邈." This bronze guqin is ideal for people who also love jade bridge, jade pegs, jade "dragon gum bumpers," and jade goose feet. You know you want it. It might be useful for playing outdoors during winter without fear of wood cracking because no wood was used in this bronze guqin. Yours starting from RMB30,000. 
Interesting. I wonder if a CNC (computer numerical control) machine was used to cut the bronze pieces to make the guqin, or was it 'handmade' throughout the entire process?
