Holding a 20 kg (44 lb.) Pipa, Wang LeeHom "Works Out"

"Music Man" Wang LeeHom has become enamored with instruments to the point of madness; custom-ordering instruments has become his biggest hobby. The third "secret weapon" for his upcoming concerts on the 19th and 20th has been revealed on the cover for his 搖滾怎麼了!! [Yao Gun Zen Me Le!!] [What Happened To Rock 'n' Roll?!] EP. He spent $500,000 for a custom-made Tang dynasty-style 5-stringed pipa*. From creating the back panel, the neck, and painting the body, the entire project was originally to take half a year. LeeHom specially asked and invited 10 instrument-making masters to work on the pipa; they finished in just three months. When he saw the finished product, LeeHom cried out in admiration that it was even more exquisite than an authentic pipa from the Tang dynasty!
