[Explanation] There are different types of vehicles on the streets of Hong Kong, such as buses, private cars, taxis, etc. But the big truck in front of me is a "non-ordinary" big truck. Not only a piano, but also sound insulation boards, air conditioners and air purifiers are inside the container. It is a piano classroom like a fake replacement.
[Commentary] This mobile piano car was made by a piano shop in Hong Kong. The new crown pneumonia caused many people to change their lifestyles. As a result, the piano shop followed the trend and turned the piano classroom into a "delivery product", so that students could Not affected by the epidemic, learning piano as usual.

It is because of the new crown pneumonia that we have this thing (mobile piano). More and more students called to ask for homework, but we found a big problem, that is, our service can only tutor what they have learned, but to teach them new things, we ca n’t do it. So we have the idea of using mobile classrooms, because many services in Hong Kong use this model, such as mobile blood donation vehicles, mobile libraries and so on.
[Explanation] Miss Lin revealed that the piano car must deal with sound insulation and the air must maintain circulation. It costs a total of 6 digits from planning, modification and testing. But apart from hardware issues, the greatest challenge to the emergence of mobile pianos is the piano tutor.
[Explanation] The piano car has been running for three months. The piano tutor Tim said that he has become accustomed to this "floating" teaching mode, and the equipment on the piano car is perfect, and the operation is not much different from the traditional piano room. Now that he has the opportunity to travel to different places in Hong Kong with piano cars, he is in touch with more students for teaching, which makes him feel very successful.

The form of the class is not different, because the equipment here is the same, you will see that we have a digital piano here. We rub the piano every time between classes and make sure the piano is clean. In fact, the (cleaning) procedure is not increased. (Student) Before the comparison, they will feel that (space) is much larger, they will feel more comfortable, and they will find it very interesting because this car will come to their home to give them lessons. We will also go to many different places. We have tried the pineapple choke in the (Hong Kong) New Territories, and even the big tail governor has visited these places. Even so, because we can teach a lot of students, we have a great sense of success.

Hong Kong people are really easy to accept new things. Many times they will be curious and feel very fresh. (Curious) what is inside, so everyone uses it with curiosity.
[Explanation] The emergence of mobile pianos has enabled Qinxing to successfully develop a new business model. Distance is no longer a barrier to learning. Ms. Lin said that even if the epidemic situation slows down in the future, pianos will continue to operate, serving remote living or inconvenience student.
