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.
For first-time buyers of guqin, they may feel confused about the type, quality, price, and other aspects of guqin. Here are some related matters for purchasing guqin: 1. Purchase method: Nowadays, there are more and more ways to purchase guqin online, but it is best to go to a legitimate instrument store to purchase guqin. This can ensure the quality and authenticity of the piano. 2. Choosing a brand: Choosing a brand is also an important factor in purchasing guqin. Currently, there are many brands on the market that produce guqin, such as Jiuyin and Shanyin. The quality assurance of the qin produced by these brands is high, and they have a long history, making them a good choice for purchasing. 3. Quality of qin: When purchasing a guqin, quality is also an important factor to consider. The quality of guqin is mainly reflected in the quality of the material, the distinct sound quality, and the handmade craftsmanship of the surface. When selecting a guqin, one can identify it by listening to it, touching it, or looking at it to ensure the quality of the guqin purchased. 4. Price: The price of guqin varies due to factors such as quality, brand, and materials.

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.
