Where can I find high-quality guqin？

The external features of a guqin include the body, surface, shaft, and string axis. The body of a guqin is the main part, which can be divided into three types: long body, short body, and small body, with the long body being the mainstream. The visible part on the piano surface has seven string tracks and thirteen badges. The shaft refers to the axle used for the strings, and buyers need to check if it is in good condition and if there is excessive wear. The chord axis refers to the mechanical part used for tuning and also needs to be checked for completeness.
The first step in selecting a guqin is to understand the basic knowledge of lacquer surface, guqin board, and gray body. 1. Let is talk about the selection of paint surface first: Traditional Chinese large paint films are hard and shiny, with good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and resistance to various organic solvents. The electrical insulation performance is also very good. Today, we are fortunate enough to touch the old qin that has been around for thousands of years. The role of high-quality lacquer cannot be erased. Big paint also has advantages and disadvantages, and the prices are also different, which is ominous to mention here. Of course, currently low-end guqin still has synthetic lacquer and pure chemical lacquer, as they can reduce costs and have strong price competitiveness. 2. The next thing to consider is the board: currently, there are many materials for making pianos. Guqin made of high-quality cedar wood is also quite common.
Specific steps to purchase a guqin: 1. Understand the basic knowledge of guqin: Before purchasing a guqin, you can learn some basic knowledge of guqin, such as common sound names, names and positions of various parts, historical background of guqin, etc. This can better help you make a purchase. 2. Find reliable sales channels: Guqin can be purchased through channels such as music schools, piano companies, and some Guqin groups. These channels are relatively formal and reliable, ensuring the reliability of Guqin quality. Before purchasing, it is important to check if the accessories are complete, such as the strings and hooks. 3. Qin test: Before purchasing a guqin, be sure to personally test it. When trying the piano, it is important to pay attention to the tone, volume, clarity of the tone, and observe the craftsmanship and appearance of the piano. The basic conditions such as material and appearance must meet your own requirements. 4. Choose a suitable size for your guqin: There are three types of guqin sizes: normal, juvenile, and child. When choosing a guqin, beginners should choose a guqin that is suitable for their height and body shape, in order to quickly adapt to the pressure control of the qin body and lay a solid foundation.
