Chinese farmer makes musical intstruments

[warpedbored]

Recently I started the most ambitious woodworking project of my life, a steel string acoustic guitar. I am starting on the neck this week and hope to begin the body soon. I am still waiting on a few things to arrive that I ordered. While scouring the internet for videos on guitar building I ran across this video of a Chinese farmer who makes a myriad of musical instruments. I found it fascinating. I would love to go to China and look him up.

He makes some beautiful instruments! Thanks for the thread. I love Chinese music and singing. My wife had a great-great uncle who sang and acted in Peking opera a long time ago and she heard him sing. Good luck with your guitar.

Wow Carl, good luck with that. I wish you could/would go to China too and find him.
