Guaqin Mingqin Series Five

A few years later, David Laurie brought it to England and it passed through the hands of British people John Adam and Richard Bennett. In 1891, the Hill Brothers Company sold this guitar to singer Ernest Nicolini, who also owned a melon violin 1735 DEGville. Nicolini later replaced the guitar with a sitar at the Hart store in London. Soon after, the notorious Waller brothers in the collection industry replicated several copies of this guitar. At that time, the Waller brothers were doing repair and assembly work at the Hart store. Despite British collectors' admiration for this guitar, Waddle sold it to Rudolph Wurlitzer in New York in 1923. It was sold to JS Phipps again, and later JS Phipps rented this piano to the famous violinist Henryk Szeryng. In 1970, Szeryng finally bought this piano. In 1972, he sold the 1734 Hercules guitar until Schelling's death in 1988, when his children sold it to its current owner Jacques Francais.

It's hard to say which qin was the last qin in the life of Degisu Guanelli. The label of Leduc in 1745 is one year after his death, and it seems to be the last qin. In his last two years, although the craftsmanship declined slightly, each qin had its own unique features. Perhaps at that time, Degisu Guanelli's physical condition was deteriorating and he had a premonition that he was about to pass away, so he intensified his many thoughts into each qin. From the characteristics of the qin, Leduc 1745 is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Guanelli.
