Maker's Note This is the second qin I made as part of my apprenticeship. Both the top and the bottom boards have been covered in black lacquer, featuring chestnut brown speckles in some areas. The qin top is particularly smooth to the touch. It has a heavy, solid, and antique timbre that is smooth and clear.
