Maker's Note	To be able to create a dream instrument that hits every desired note is the ultimate pursuit of many musicians. I learnt about Master Choi Chang-sau’s qin making class by chance and challenged myself to study the art. The inner cavity part of this qin is slightly thick and therefore the instrument is not particularly loud and has a crude timbre. I will do my best to fine tune and perfect it so that I will not disappoint Master Choi.
