Discovering Chinese Sound – Vol. 3

Safe Passage: How We Protect Traditional Instruments in Transit

Chinese traditional instruments, many of which are crafted with intricate structure and delicate materials, require special care during storage and shipping. At AUCNMUSIC, we’ve developed a dedicated packaging and handling protocol to ensure each piece arrives in perfect playing condition — no matter the destination.

Our protective system includes:

• Shock-absorbent cradles for guzhengs and pipas

• Padded support frames for erhus to stabilise fragile necks

• Double-cushioned flute boxes for bamboo instruments

• Moisture-conscious wrapping for seasonal transitions

Every shipment is manually checked by our warehouse team before dispatch. We believe that protection isn’t just about safety — it’s about respecting the instrument’s integrity.

“The journey of a great instrument begins before the first note is played.”

We ship culture, not just wood and strings — and we handle it as such.
