Well it looks good. Well done.
Did you fix up the other musical instrument in the last photo?

Oh, no, it has always worked! It's a yue qin, and lots of fun to play - tuned GDGD, and currently strung with some nylgut ukulele strings (which are very nice)
I'm sure I have seen pictures of them before, but never realized that the frets are wood and there is no fretboard. Very cool.Quote:

I have another similar instrument (a zhong ruan) which has 'bone' frets (actually some sort of plastic), and I have another (a liu qin) which has the wooden frets but they're capped with fret wire.
The ruan and liu qin are both really lovely to play, and are actually my main instruments.
I was about to ask what the sam heck that was! :D
