The Chinese Erhu and Japanese Shamisen are traditional stringed instruments originating hundreds of years ago. Brian Chan will show how to construct basic versions of these instruments, and talk about more advanced projects, such as his super-portable folding instruments. Attendees will have the option to join the Hobby Shop and start their own instrument projects to be finished later in the semester, or just to listen and watch.
