# Supplier RFQ - Konghou Mule Prototype

Subject: RFQ - single-row konghou structural mule materials and string data

I am preparing a prototype single-row structural mule for a modern konghou-inspired paired-course family. The first build is for load-path validation only. Please quote or advise on:

- zither or harp tuning pins with recommended pilot drill sizes;
- matching hitch pins or anchor hardware with pull-load guidance;
- nylon, fluorocarbon, or harp strings with published unit weights;
- clear hardwood or stable birch laminate frame stock suitable for a light stringed-instrument prototype;
- thin soundboard stock or neutral plywood test panels for bridge-load coupons;
- load-cell, spring-scale, or dial-indicator measurement tools suitable for bench proof-load checks.

Please include datasheets, unit weights, recommended installation notes, minimum order quantities, and lead time. Final paired-course work will not begin until the single-row mule passes proof-load validation.
