Sou Si-tai , whose playing style is pure and serene, started out by learning to play the end-blown xiao flute and the side-blown di flute with Wang Quan . In the early 1980s, he started learning the qin with Mrs Tsar The-yun , master of the Fanchuan school, disciple of Shen Caonong , an especially gifted and highly talented musician who was initiated into the arts of poetry and calligraphy at an exceptionally young age . Sou Si-tai is also a qin maker. He teaches and gives concerts in many places in the world.
