What kind of guzheng should a beginner buy?

Answer: Beginners have three investment plans:

First, we recommend that you buy a popular piano as cheaply as possible. The main reason is to prevent learners from giving up halfway and causing a waste of investment and learning. If you can continue to learn, you can change to a higher-grade piano according to your requirements

2. If you think you can definitely continue to learn and want to make a one-time investment, then we recommend purchasing a piano that is at least professional performance grade or above. , Amateur study can be used for life, professional study can be completed at the tenth level, and if you choose advanced zither professional learners, you can also be used for life

3. If you want to preserve the value of your investment, we recommend that you buy nanmu Collection of Zhengs

The first type of investment is safer but may cause waste

The second type of one-time investment saves money but is also risky

The third type This kind of investment has the property of preserving value, but the one-time investment is relatively large.

Note: Adults learn to play zheng because they have a strong willpower for themselves, so our factory does not recommend buying popular zheng, but mainly based on their own preparation for investment. determined by the amount. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people with good economic conditions buy nanmu guzheng, because the nanmu series guzheng has an elegant appearance, simple and thick sound quality, and the rarity of nanmu material, it also has collection and investment value, and is also a good product passed down from generation to generation.

How to maintain guzheng?

Answer: 1) The instrument should be kept away from being used or placed in an environment with excessive temperature or humidity as much as possible, and it should not be exposed to the sun or rain to prevent the body of the instrument from opening and the acoustic quality to be affected. .

(2) During transportation or carrying, be careful to prevent excessive bumps, vibrations and collisions on the piano body to avoid causing trauma or even structural damage.

(3) Wipe the strings with a dry cloth before and after playing to keep the strings clean and prevent them from rusting.

(4) Musical instruments need to be used frequently to keep them in good acoustic condition. In this way, the sound quality will become perfect.

What conditioning is required before use?

Answer: (1) The wild goose pillars (commonly known as the code) of the guzheng are arranged in order of height. The tallest wild goose pillar supports the lowest string, and its effective pronunciation string length (the distance between the wild goose pillar and Qianyue Mountain) It is roughly 85-90 cm; the lowest wild goose pillar supports the highest pitch string, and its effective chord length is generally 12-15 cm. All the wild goose pillars should be scattered and orderly, like wild geese flying in a row. Before using the musical instrument, the wild goose pillars must be arranged according to the above requirements. Also note that the legs of the wild goose column must match the panel, otherwise the wild goose column will be crooked and the string grooves will not be in a straight line. In this way, the wild goose pillar will shake when playing, and it will fall over in the summer solstice.

(2) After the wild goose pillars are arranged, wither the colored strings (red or green strings) into the "la" sounds of different octaves (A, A, a, a1), and then press To the required key (the commonly used keys for guzheng are D and G), adjust the other strings according to the scale relationship. At this point, the guzheng is ready to be played.

It should be noted that generally speaking, new musical instruments have to go through a stress balance stage. The pitch will not stabilize all at once at the beginning. For a long period of time, the user needs to continuously adjust the strings to the proper height. .

The importance of playing posture

Answer: The correct playing posture is very important. Beginners tend to ignore it. However, wrong playing postures and methods, once they become habits, will seriously affect the improvement of technical training and performing arts. Therefore, beginners should always pay attention to the correctness of their playing posture and playing methods. Sitting is a commonly used playing posture in modern times. Generally, the position of the bench should be on the right side of the piano, aligned with the extension line of the front beam. The player's body should be about a fist away from the zither, so that the upper part of the body can move forward. Room for rear, left and right movement. The height of the zither stand is approximately 60 centimeters but due to the different heights of the players and different arm lengths, the thickness of the zither also varies. Therefore, the correct position is: the first pier of the zither is in a flat shape with the player's waist. At this time, the player's hands are in the most relaxed state when placing their hands on the zither strings. On the contrary, the zither stand is too high or too low. Can easily cause tension. When playing, pay attention to relaxing the body. Any body that bends forward too much, straightens, shoulders, or the head is too low will cause the muscles in the relevant parts of the body to be in a state of tension, which will affect the normal performance of the performance.
