How do you make biwa instrument?

To make a biwa, a traditional Japanese stringed instrument, you'll need a wooden body, typically crafted from materials like magnolia or cherry wood. Start by shaping the body into a pear-like form with a flat back and a curved front, then carve out a neck that extends from the body. Attach four strings, traditionally made from silk, and install tuning pegs for adjusting pitch. Finally, finish the instrument with lacquer for protection and aesthetics, and ensure the strings are properly tensioned for optimal sound.
