Maker's Note I began making qins because I wanted to know more about the instrument. Indeed, I wanted to learn to appreciate it and play it better. I had never thought that I would gain such genuine pleasure in the qin making process which includes the selection of materials, the actual making, and the in-depth learning required. Being able to play a good qin made by myself is a beautiful thing in its own right.
