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.
With the spread of the Guqin culture, countless people yearn for it and start learning to play it. What is the first step? It must be choosing a good guqin. As the saying goes, To do a good job, one must first sharpen one is tools and A skilled woman cannot cook without rice, it shows how important a good guqin is to a pianist! So what kind of guqin is better? So how do you choose a satisfactory guqin? I believe those who have some understanding of ancient qin know that almost all good qin are handmade by Zhuo qin masters using traditional craftsmanship. On the one hand, manual carving involves slow work and meticulous craftsmanship, which can avoid quality issues caused by mass production and rough manufacturing. On the other hand, it is truly commendable for people like Li Yifan and Ni Shiyun who can both play and chop the qin. When they chop the qin, they will incorporate their own playing skills into the ancient qin they make, giving it a unique charm.
