A qin body with an already gently sanded base cement (1)

This photo shows a qin body with an already gently sanded base cement. It was made by Chuen-wai, Choi Chang-sau’s daughter who began apprenticeship in 2012.


Date 2013
Maker's Note This is a semi-finished qin jointly made by my father and me. It was the first time I experienced the joy of qin making. I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge and skills involved in the making of the seemingly simple qin. This is how I have come to understand my father’s lifelong passion for the art of qin making.
