《guqin》

The guqin (古琴) is a seven-stringed zither that is over 3,000 years old. I’ve been studying guqin since 2019 with Weeteng Su’s Cool Fragrance Qin Loft, based out of Singapore. She is of the Guangling Pai lineage of players, originating from the Jiangnan area of China. Since the pandemic, we have done early morning video lessons.

I first discovered the instrument while working in Singapore after a friend invited me to an introductory class. I immediately fell in love with the quiet, bassy tone.
