The bowl piano is a percussion instrument created by porcelain selection workers. When knocking on porcelain bowls, porcelain workers accidentally found that some bowls could knock out sounds similar to scales, so they created bowls of Qin.

The big soup bowl is deep and solemn, used for bass, the small bowl is crisp and bright, used for alto and tenor, and the small glass is shrill and used for treble. The bowl piano contains tone changes, can be tuned, and can also play solo, accompaniment and other styles of music. What it is best at is playing cheerful and jumping music. Although the bowl piano has only a history of several decades, it is increasingly loved by people in the instrumental family.
