Music store in Beijing?

Where in Beijing can I buy Chinese musical instruments?

I'm in Beijing for a week and I'm looking to buy a high-quality pipa (a kind of Chinese lute). Anyone know of a place in Beijing that sells traditional musical instruments? I remember seeing such a shop in a sort of mall when I was in Beijing 10 years ago, but the city looks so different now and I wouldn't know where to go. Thanks for any help.

There's a couple of shops right near where I live, Jiaodaokou (交道口); this map should show them marked. Also heard that Xinjiekou (新街口) is good, but not been recently myself.
