When choosing a piano, you should first choose the sound. Only with good sound quality can the player express his or her own voice freely. What's the point if the sound of the piano is dry and dull and cannot convey the meaning? Secondly, choose the one with good shape, and thirdly, choose the one with satisfactory style and natural color. The piano is like a partner. If you don't like it, it's hard to get the feeling that it fits your mood and that the piano and the person are one. Things to note when choosing a guqin:

The guqin’s groove belly is wide and the speaker is big, the sound will be loud.

A good piano will use good glue for gluing the top and bottom. The binding time is long and it is not easy to fall off and crack after drying.

If the piano material is thick, the rhyme will be short and the sound will be burnt; if the piano material is thin, the sound will come out quickly.

Scattered sound means that the volume is loud and the lingering sound is long. The sound must be loud and not dispersed.

The overtones should be crisp and clear.

The sound must be warm and moist, strong and transparent.

The guqin has rich tones, and qin players generally classify them as follows:

The sound of jade: clear, solid and smooth, like jade.

Golden bell sound: mellow, round and bright, like a copper bell.

The sound of elegant flute: gentle, quiet and beautiful, like a cave flute.

Thunder: Ancient and powerful, like thunder.
