Although not cheap this rare Sixian of the Pumi is a really nice example of a plucked instrument from one of the Chinese minority groups. It can be tuned in any tuning that you like, but playing chords is not possible. It has a good sharp banjo sound.The Sixian is a welcome addition to any collection of Chinese instruments - such as mine : ATLAS of Plucked Instruments (dot com).I hope that soon other similar rare instruments will be available, like the Qiben of the Lisu, and the large Naxi Pipa and Naxi Sugudu.
