The first qin I made, from collecting information, making tools, searching for drawings, making samples, mail ordering wood, making glue, and conducting various experiments, I tossed and turned intermittently. On a broken stool, I finally completed the various processes of the production process of a white qin, which took nearly two years.

This experimental piano was enlarged and made according to the drawings in "The Making and Restoration of Fides". We need to re embed the wire and leave some margin at the edge for repairing the sound groove. Although the material selection and workmanship are not very good, the resonance effect of the sound test is relatively good. It is still unknown which detail "little moth" played a role. I should be familiar with making a second qin, but I didn't expect it to fail! I enlarged and made the violin 1716 chart using 'The Art of Violin Making', which may be distorted from the actual object; After bonding the side and back panels, it looks like a gourd gourd; At that time, I was a bit careless and impatient, and adjusted the appearance without approving the size. The wooden boat is already done and cannot be changed. I have been sad for a while, hesitated for a while, and put it on hold for now. There is no need to add panels and black and white lines again. It is worth self comforting that there are five hidden scars of different sizes on that backboard. It is not too unfair to make a mistake. One day, I saw a replica Steiner piano at a piano shop. It looked familiar to me, and the shape of the backboard really looked like that gourd gourd gourd. Hehe!

Recently, I saw that there are many netizens of the same age who play the piano as amateurs online. I also came to join the fun and reorganized the information at hand, hoping to communicate with everyone. If interested, I will send pictures one after another.

The first qin may be a blessing to the soul, and once you start playing it, the production process goes smoothly. Although the qin you make may not look very good at first glance, upon closer inspection, it is better to take a closer look.

The second qin was enlarged according to the shape of the Siqin 1716 diagram. I wanted to make full use of the thickness of the backboard to increase the volume of the speaker and make the best use of everything. I took the initiative to increase the height of the backboard arc to 18 millimeters, but it backfired. In addition, the shape was a bit out of shape, and I accidentally made it into a gourd shaped ladle. I was heartbroken - a sweet bitterness - and I did my best to make it, after all, it brought me the joy of making it.
