Why is the price of the same three-string Qin Qin higher than that of the four-string?

Sanxian and Sixian are traditional Chinese musical instruments with different timbres and functions.

First of all, the high price of Sanxian is mainly due to the relatively complicated manufacturing process and materials. Sanxian usually uses hardwood such as paulownia and Toona sinensis, and the piano surface uses film, such as classic cowhide or snakeskin. Making Sanxian requires experienced craftsmen's operation, including the adjustment of piano face and the installation of strings, to ensure the accuracy of timbre and the effect of * * *. In contrast, the manufacturing process and materials of the four strings are relatively simple.

Secondly, it is difficult to make three strings, which also leads to a relatively small production quantity, which is in short supply. In contrast, the production of four strings is relatively easy and the supply is relatively sufficient, so the price is relatively low.

In addition, Sanxian, as a folk musical instrument, has a strong cultural heritage and traditional value, so it is sought after and collected by more people in the market. This also makes the price of Sanxian relatively high.

To sum up, the relatively complex production technology and materials and unique cultural value of Sanxian are the factors that lead to its high price.
