qin
- Heterochorde Halbröhrenzither
- China [Land]; Taiwan [Land]
- Brunhilde Körner geb. Lessing (Collector)

The qin is regarded as an instrument of scholars and is generally played as a solo. The sober appearance of the musical instrument conceals a system of symbols of Chinese culture and society. This manifests itself in the construction of the instrument and its very nuanced playing technique.
