ChineeLiuQin: The Willow Mandolin from China
---------------------------------------------

Kong Audio releases the latest VSTi plugin, ChineeLiuQin, as the 14th addition to the Chinee Series.

The Grassroot Instrument
---------------------------------------------
LiuQin is a grassroot folk instrument which was originally popular in some provinces of China for the last two centuries. LiuQin was a simple and rough instrument at the begining, and it was once referred to as "the plebs' Pipa" due to its lack of refinement - yet it is much closer to the true rural life. The structure of today's LiuQin has been redesigned in the mid-20th century. With the improved physical form, plus its higher pitch scale and its Western Mandolin-like acoustic effect, LiuQin has become a prominent instrument in today's Chinese classical circle.

ChineeLiuQin is powered by the Windows native QIN engine.
ChineeLiuQin is priced at 60 USD.

Thanks!
1-bit/2.8 MHz is the DSD format, which we have been using in the last couple instruments.

Ah, so I see. You could update the press release specifically mentioning that format, along with a link to a Wiki article about DSD format like you did now, to remedy any additional inquiries like mine.

Thanks for clarification!

OMG!!!!! oh boy. Thanks for the heads-up. This is really embarrassing. I can no longer retract the press release now, but I'm changing all the info here and on our site right away. Thanks again for bringing this up.

Got it, love it. Thank you.

What are the plans for upgrading older instruments to the QIN player? I'd love to have them all under that umbrella. When can we expect that to be possible?

Thanks!
