The guqin (ku-ch'in; literally "ancient stringed instrument") is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the zither family. In 2003, guqin music was proclaimed as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. [Wikipedia]
In 2006, China and Austria jointly issued two stamps, on guqin and piano.
