Introduction(Audio)

This is an audio recording of the first talk of "The Legend of Silk and Wood: A Hong Kong Qin Story" talk series, in which Sou Si-tai and Ho Chun-wah, Johannes are as speakers.

Two speakers are delighted to share with the audience the ancient art of qin-making and lacquering, which they learned from their Master.
