Not to my knowledge. Morecambe was for several decades the first choice of Bradford mill owners, managers, accountants, etc., when they were thinking of places to retire to. Eventually they retired there in such large numbers that Morecambe became known as Bradford-on-Sea. Some people native to Morecambe still call it that, in a self-deprecating sort of way, and the reason I brought it up in the first place is that Morecambe has for many years been thought of as being more up-market than Blackpool, the mill-workers first place of refuge from smog, and for a time in the 1920s and '30s actually became one of the stops on the European 'propeller-driven aircraft set' circuit.

Apart from laying the qin flat on the table, leaning it vertically against the wall or hanging it up on the wall, are there other ways in which a qin can be kept? For example, sideways or suspended in mid-air, for display purpose...? No, I am not thinking of torturing my qin; just a question.

I suppose you could put it sideways or suspend it, though one will question why...
