Miniature Guzheng

Homemade miniature guzheng-- Soundboard was made in a day using a chisel and plane. Strings are made of monofilament fishing line. Bridges are made of bamboo and the pick is a leaf from a nearby tree.

I don't know why this particular instrument sounds so good. I tried to make another video showing the process of its construction-- But that next instrument had poor sound quality. : (

(So I didn't post that video.)

The instrument in this video is one-of-a-kind and I don't know how to reproduce it.

So please enjoy : )

That's pretty awesome. Don't you sell them?

[bluetongueboy]

@moojeni

Actually, no, I don't sell them. Why, do you want one?

[bluetongueboy]

@moojeni I'll sell this instrument if your willing to pay $100 . . . >: )
