Maker's Note When I first came into contact with the qin, I was amazed at the unworldly sound proffered by the instrument. Without hesitation, I joined the wonderful world of qin playing. Gradually, I wanted to learn more about the world of qin making. Eventually, I created my own world with the qins I made. I find genuine pleasure in all these worlds.
