“I just found out it is a quite fun and interesting instrument with a very unique sound...  Not many Chinese people saw or knew this instrument before, actually. My family and friends are very supportive with this new instrument I introduced to them. They are super happy to hear it and see how it works and sounds....”  -- Lin Tao
