早年修习于大马艺术学院 , 于期间自学研究书法与篆刻, 爱好古董家具文物。
退休后，则致力自硏华楽器的制作与修复，其中也涉及马来族群及原住民楽器的改制 。
尤以中国古琴是其重中之重的斲琴专业， 其中最具特色的是以马来西亜本土的优质木料为琴的制作材料， 展现了中国以外的另一种琴韵之声，再加上他以其独特的书法篆刻布局加工处理， 使古琴作为楽器之外， 更增添了它的文雅观赏艺术价值。
Who would imagine that a 3,000 year old Chinese traditional musical instrument called guqin could be crafted by a craftsman in Malaysia. This video showcases a formidable artisan Mr Lee Chien Nam and his 15-year journey to master and perfected the craft of making guqin from a single piece of wood that is sourced locally and from abroad. Guqin is considered the instrument of the sages and has been used by scholars such as Confucius. It is a seven-string instrument of the family of zither and is considered the instrument most expressive of Chinese culture. Learning the guqin is considered one of the four important classical high cultures of ancient China, which included chess, calligraphy and painting. Mr Lee, a Malaysian Institute of Art alumni, is proud of his creations are for sale to collectors, musicians as well as those who would like to get a piece of a 3,000 year old Chinese cultural artifact as a showpiece in their home.

VERY COOL! AWESOME VIDEO OH!

[@evalbayting1366]

Does he had any media social account to contact? Really hope someday can learn guqin.

Eval Bayting me too

I do not understand how the writing and embellishment increases the value. It certainly does not affect the wood selectin quality, the quality if build or playability. Only how expensive it looks, because obviously it takes a lot of time to make all those engravings. I am fine with a simple Guqin myself. Example: I have a $100 Erhu and a $750 Erhu. In every detail they are the same, except the $750 has a lot more calligraphy on it. They play and sound the same too.

[@T2508025080]

in the other hand, if you were a rich man, collector or a performer, both Guqin functions in the same way, and you can buy anyone without economic pressure, which one will you buy? that's the point. that's how embellishment works, to be watched.

[@nhankhuu5643]

If you wanted something that sounds better You should buy it because it has longer aged wood, even thickness snake skin, construction and craftmanship. If you wanted to look pretty buy the one with embellishments. If you wanted to have better sound and look pretty you obviously need to pay more. Last point you might not be good with the instrument so even a good one sounds the same as a low quality one.

他的琴好像是用新木制作的，而不是旧木。应该用旧木的。汉子写得和刻得都很漂亮。

[@yoshtys8081]

最重要还是要制作手工要好，要不然再老的木，还是一样普通。

[@user-qf9bl4cx3c]

@@yoshtys8081 手艺是能力，材料是上限。均衡看。
