My Guitar
        Many people are curious about which guitars I have used.  So I would like to share my stories here with ones who interested in.
        The very first guitar I played was a small size guitar.  It was RMB20(1US$ to RMB8.70), steel stringed.  Before that I even didn't know what the guitar looks like.
        Soon after my parents bought me a "better" guitar.  It cost RMB30.00 and equipped with a pick guard and still steel stringed.  In fact, I didn't have any idea about the different between nylon and steel string at that time.
        One year after, my teacher allowed me to use the guitar belongs to my primary school.  It worth RMB60 and installed with nylon like string. (In the meantime I also played acoustic electric and electric guitar in our guitar group and ensemble.)
        All the guitars seemed cannot match my progress of playing quickly.  So my parent used their savings to bought me a new nylon string guitar when I was nine or so, which cost them RMB90.  My parents' monthly income was RMB60.00 at that time, so I thought it was so "expensive" and so "good".
        In fact I didn't know that whether or not it was genuine nylon string as it was just colored and wounded on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd strings.  No one had ever told me that I should have my nails to play a nylon string guitar until I attended an American Guitarist's master class in 1986 (I cannot remember his name anymore).  After the class he gave me a set of nylon string.
        '1987, I got my first foreign guitar during the 1st China guitar festival.  It's a "Pepe" children guitar from Aria, Mr. Kohno brought it for me from Japan.  A Spanish guitarist (he was one of the performer for the festival, unfortunately I cannot remember his name) who wanted to sponsor me a guitar.  So five months after, Spanish Ambassador organized an event of complimenting me a concert guitar.  It had been really helpful for me.
        '1989, Mr. Kohno heard my playing again in Tokyo.  This kind luthier brought me to his studio and picked the guitar (Cedar and Jacaranda) that I like and gave it to me.  This Kohno guitar had accompanied me for 5 years.  Recently I played it again and still find it's sound is so sweet.
        '1994 or so, a friend presents me a lovely German guitar (Mario Gropp, Spruce & Jacaranda).
        '1995, I got another guitar (Cedar and Indian Rosewood) from a Hong Kong luthier as compliment.  Surprise? Yes!   This Hong Kong guitar maker is quite shy, he doesn't want me to mention his name.  It is a really beautiful guitar.  John Williams described that "Oh, this guitar can singing."  I played it for concerts and records many times.
        At the same year, lucky me got the precious Smallman guitar from John Williams.  He left it to his friend in Hong Kong after his concert and asked him to bring it to me.  I had been playing it with a very special feeling.
        Since then, I began to know how much a good guitar (or a guitar that match with your playing) can improve your music!  Smallman guitar keeping make me feel that there are numerous room waiting for me to explore the music, I can use my full force to express it.
        '1997, I bought an Antonio Raya Pardo (Spruce and Jacaranda) from my teacher.  It is a very sensitive guitar.
        '1999, Mr. Ricky Cheow from Hong Kong lent me a '1997 Smallman guitar.  He's such a warm man he even brought his valuable Romanillo (Once belonged to Julian Bream, Pine & Indian) to Beijing for my first CD.  I was very impressed with this pretty guitar.  It has such a delicate and rich sound.
        '2000, I bought my '2000 Smallman, which is the fourth Smallman guitar with armrest.  It is extremely suits me, I love it so much.
        I had also ever played Antonio Marin Mondero, Herman Hauser, etc.  They are all very good guitar.
        I believe it is not always necessary to play a very famous or expensive guitar.  The one that match with your playing is probably the secret to release your potential.
        For me I just regard my guitar as my lover, then we can make beautiful music together!
        Probably I will get a new Smallman guitar soon.

String
I often get strings from people as compliment.
I had employed D'Addario, Savarez, Augustine, Hanabach, Lisa, etc.
They are all quite good; depend on playing style and the guitar to be installed on.
Since I have my '2000 Smallman, after trying out many different strings.  I only use D'Addario J46 or J46LP now.
I have become one of the endorsee of D'Addario since 2001.
