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.
The production time of guqin: The first step is to make the body of the qin for about a week, and after completion, it should be left for at least 3 months. The second step is to wrap the cloth and apply the gray tire, which will last for about 7 days and be left for 1-3 months, depending on the weather (it may take longer due to natural dryness). The third step is to apply large paint, polish it over and over again, around March to December. This is manual painting, not the type of spray gun. So it takes at least 8 months for a normal handmade guqin to come out, and of course, pianists work in batches, as they spend a lot of time waiting. But what the factory produces is different. The chemical paint dries quickly and is uniformly cut. It can be made in 10 and a half days, but this will definitely not make a good piano.
