HISTORY

My name is Nopporn Saiyasuk. I live in Patum Tani province of Thailand. I started made Thai string instrument in year 1994 , at first for my self use and started selling in year 1996, at that time I didn't have any brand, so in year 2005 I called my brand "Siam String". The word "Siam" is mean "Thailand". Now 2007 I go to the internet.

Actually I am a traditional Thai musician, I play string instrument called "Pin", "Sung" and the instrument like xylophone called "Ranad". Thai musician study how to play many instrument in the band , song by song , phrase by phrase. We didn't have any written notation. Teacher play, we remember, follow and then we play variation for our way. And fortunately, My teacher is also the instrument maker, then I learn building string instrument from him.

I've made the string instrument for myself such as "Pin" ,"Soh" and "Sung". I also interest in western and world music. Then I develop my Pin for playing other music style. So , I built 4-string Pin chromatic fretted, both nylon and steel string and design a new shape of Pin. I also inspired by legendary musician, then I made the tribute series.

I worked alone for instrument making and my wife help me making fabric for hard shell case. I only made just 2 or 3 instruments per month.
