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.
How to choose a guqin: 1. It must be traditional. Yangzhou cedar (Yangzhou master has good craftsmanship), good craftsmanship is equal to good timbre. The guqin timbre will play better and better, and even if it doesn it start, it will not be good. The new guqin is very crisp, and it must be made of tung wood and chemical paint. Everyone must remember that this is a knowledge point. 2. Da Qi is mainly environmentally friendly and pure natural (Da Qi must not have a trace of flavor). Even a Da Qi is beautiful, and the appearance of the qin mainly depends on the master of Da Qi, which has nothing to do with the sound color. Anything too fancy is made by adding other materials, and Da Qi will oxidize and change during use, often changing with the player is mood. Therefore, do not start by checking whether the qin is fancy, as those are often not Da Qi craftsmanship, Like a large painted qin and jade, the soft light emanates from the inside out, not from chemical paint. Just like furniture paint, it emits thief light. Those who know how to appreciate the beauty of large paint. 3. For beginners, just listen to what you like. To have a stable voice, it is best to let the merchant choose. Of course, the tone will definitely vary depending on the price.
