Dear Peiyou, friends

It was a v interesting meeting yesterday, am happy to have seen everybody and their workshops.

My own studio has always been a temporary set up, its set up for specific tasks, then removed and cleared for other things.  So I really cant show much in that aspect.

Next time, i will make more photos for records.

In preparing for the talk, I suddenly realized the path that I have taken.  

Its v precious to me that I could review what I did with you - so i could see more clearly the next coming steps.

Thank you v much for sharing the time, the players , the music and everybody's feedback.

Until covid is over, zoom is a great platform.

Hope to see everyone in real life in the future soon.

Warmest regards

Shuengit

The one hour presentation at the meeting which is in my archive could be retrieved in due time.

Thanks to the recording equipment prepared by Stephan Dydo, and video recording by ShuenMan Chow (aka Swansea San).  It was an extremely pleasant evening with everyone.

I had prepared a talk for the Nov. Qin Making event of NYQS:

 “Naming your Qin : Qin Making and naming your qin”, if you would like to read this paper, I could also present it briefly .  

Currently, I review very carefully how to advance for the next generation.  

Unlike wood, each step is best to be irreversible, I must think very thoroughly before beginning.

I might not be available for the online presentation because of some film work, depending on the dates.

Hope to be amongst you soon!

Warmest regards

Shuengit
