Two qins 2 |
| The collection includes this Ming dynasty qin |
The last time I visited the MFA it had a qin on display amongst scholarly objects in the China collection. A recording was playing, but it was one of a qin with metal strings, so in this way it was not historically accurate.
A search for "qin" or "zither" in the Museum online collections database shows at least two qins as well as a Japanese scroll painting called "Yu Zhi playing her qin".
- Qin (zither)
Said to date from about 1550-1650; accession number 1981.782 - Zither (qin)
19th century; accession number 17.2057
The scroll painting is accession number 11.7795.
