This, the 29th meetingof theLondon Youlan Qin
Society, was held at the home of Julian Joseph in Chippenham, Wiltshre.
Introduction
There was no formal introduction. Despite the distance from
London, some 15 people attended, one person having travelled all the
way from Glasgow. After
a particularly fine lunch, all players played at least one piece.
Dannung Ing gave a short talk on the uses of talcum powder to reduce
friction when mounting strings on a qin, and while playing. Details are
in his article on the Members' Articles
page.
