Qin Horizon https://youtu.be/-wUaILH9tW4 video I've had this guqin since the 1960s. I found it in an antique shop in New England, and paid $18. The proprietor asked what I wanted "that board" for. It was in terrible condition, without legs etc. Candelario delGado, a brilliant L.A. luthier, worked on it and found a way to attach strings. More recently, Stephen Dydo, a brilliant luthier and qin player, brought it back. It's between 200-400 years old and I take great great care with it. It still looks like it's been through a war. I love its tone, and record with it. I'm not a proper and classical qin player, but I hope I honor the instrument. Care is important for me in what I do, even if I fail at it. I hadn't played it for a while, and last night recorded my playing. I love what emerged, even if there are some rough spots. Here is the result. The qin speaks for itself, even the sound of a single string takes my breath away. Think of its tone within a landscape with mountains and waterfalls, with silence, with anywhere from here. I hope the tone and playing reach you. Recorded, as usual, with a Zoom 4n beneath the instrument. This is also featured, by the way, on the ESP Disk Dragon and Phoenix, with Stephen Dydo, which I highly recommend. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
