I have been fond of Guqin since childhood. In the early 1990s, I began to study Guqin production. I became a disciple of Mr. Wang Yongchang, a Guqin master of the Mei'an School.

After years of hard work, his art of qin-cutting has gradually been recognized by the qin world. The book "The Way of the Qin" has made a special introduction to "Ni Qin"; Ni is one of the six outstanding contemporary Qin players mentioned in the book "Chinese Guqin Art" (first edition) by the People's Music Publishing House .

In the 1990s, he began to make guqin with his own personal style, and began to customize guqin according to the characteristics of Jiangnan’s piano practice.

In early 2003, Ni Shiyun officially established Haimen City Leiyin Qinqin Workshop, embarking on the path of professional Qinqinqin. His works are collected by piano players all over the country, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Europe, America, Singapore and other places. Its piano has been selected by some players as a piano for stage performance and recording. For example: the DVD record in the guqin book "Sitong Lecture" by Mr. Wang Duo from Suzhou, and the guqin album "Sounds of Nature" by Mr. Li Jia'an from Nanjing. The Guqin album "Ripples" published by Professor Dai Xiaolian of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (Shanghai Music Publishing House and Shanghai Literature and Art Audio-Video Publishing House) uses the same Fuxi-style Guqin work cut from Ming Dynasty fir wood by Ni Shiyun in 2008.

In 2006, the National Musical Instrument Branch of the China Musical Instruments Association awarded Ni Shiyun the "Famous Guqin Maker" certificate. Ni Shiyun's guqin is called "Ni Qin" in the industry. "Ni Qin" has simple lines and elegant appearance. The phonology is delicate, and the biggest feature of Ni Qin is that it has an excellent feel behind the fingertips. This is why it is very popular among piano players.

In the early days of "Ni Qin", due to the rigorous attitude towards Qin cutting, the workmanship and material output were quite strict. In order to pursue the sound of gold and jade, the early Ni Qin's tone was slightly sonorous, and its shape was slimmer than that of the current works. Moreover, the materials used for the piano itself were relatively traditional at the time, so the sound was hard. ***Ming takes a long time to develop. Therefore, it has always been considered to be easy to play and difficult to maintain. But the sound after it is raised is really simple and moving. After 2000, wood such as old beams began to be used. The sound of the piano is better than before. The details tend to be soft and medium, and the lower part is delicate. It's commendable. It is easy to play and maintain, and its performance and collection value continues to rise. Naturally, the price has also begun to rise.
