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 price of a guqin is not the only selection standard, and the following two points need to be noted: first, whether the production process of the guqin meets the standards. If you buy a finely crafted guqin, your sound will be very beautiful and it can also take your playing skills to the next level. High quality guqin, with a relatively complete structure and crisp sound quality, fully showcases the performance effect. In addition, the material of the guqin is also a key factor, and it is necessary to choose high-quality boxwood to ensure the quality of the timbre. Secondly, is the pre order service for guqin in place. Before purchasing a guqin, listening to the test music is a very important part. When listening, you can pay attention to the stability of the piano body and whether the curvature of the fingerboard is appropriate. At the same time, if during the piano test, it is found that there are sound quality issues such as noise or broken notes on the body, then it should be considered to replace the guqin.
A few small details to pay attention to when choosing a guqin: 1. The body (the quality of the body determines the quality of the sound). A good guqin should be sturdy, durable, and well shaped - the strings need to be correctly installed on the body and adjusted in position. The thickness of the body should be kept uniform to ensure stable and unchanging sound quality. 2. The surface of the guqin The quality of the piano surface affects the experience of sound production and playing. A good guqin should have a flat and smooth surface that cannot be felt; the piano surface should be moderately hard, and too hard or too soft can affect the quality of the sound (Choosing the type of string is very important. Some strings have a soft tone and weak expressive power, making them unsuitable for performing high skill repertoire; while others are suitable for performing with high difficulty. Therefore, the selection of strings must be based on one is own playing habits.)
