This is a Gu Zheng (Chinese zither) made in China. It's in good condition with no noticeable damage and is still usable. The items in the pictures are all that are included. This is based on my personal assessment, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections or seek a perfect item. A stand and music stand are also included. No claims and no returns. I appreciate a smooth transaction. I will ship the item with personal, amateur packaging.
