How to distinguish the timbre of guzheng?

timbre, hand feel and sound stability. Craftsmanship are the four major factors to evaluate the quality of a guzheng. For many merchants, the appearance craft is the soul. For the performer, timbre is always the soul! Guzheng without timbre is just a pile of painted wood combinations! There are the following factors that determine the sound quality of the guzheng: 1. The thickness of each sound zone on the panel should be followed by my description to check how many "wood sounds" there are in your guzheng. (Wood sounds are also called "empty sounds". "Broken sounds" are not sensitive. If the string hits the paper, the sound will be blocked and disappear quickly). From 13 strings to 1 string, don't stroke together. If there is only 1, dial one by one. About five. Not bad! Because the average number of famous-brand kites in China is not less than 5. If it is about 8, it is a common phenomenon of 9%! If there are 13 full-hair trees, it should be smashed! In fact, most of the kites in the market are at the level of smashing! " Wood sound "is caused by the unreasonable thickness of the panel. The vibration of strings can't excite the vibration of the panel through the spread of piano codes. The level of guzheng producers is mainly reflected in the grasp of the thickness of the panel! The texture size of the panel is based on the root of the tree, the difference of the middle tip, whether it is sunny or sunny, and the thickness of the panel is different in different sound zones. There is no standard data, only empirical data. Experienced data depends on the error of carpenter's execution. Unreasonable data timbre will be finished. Therefore, there are only two kinds of zithers-expert zither and amateur zither, regardless of size and reputation! An expert Zheng is even the most popular voice; Even if the amateur Zheng is made of rosewood, the sound is bad! By the way, precious materials such as rosewood, nanmu, mahogany, etc., which are covered on the appearance of the zither, have no decisive effect on the timbre. They only slightly improve the * * * sound. Paying attention to materials and neglecting timbre is a big misunderstanding in the selection of the zither. (I have never seen a zither without wood sound) ` 2. The moisture content of the panel is too high. The sound is boring! If it is reasonable, the sound will be clear (on the premise of reasonable panel thickness). paulownia jointed board, which has been air-dried for more than one year, is the best choice for guzheng panels. The panels in Dunhuang are baked by fire, with the aim of reducing the moisture content to below 1%. In fact, the panels in Dunhuang were also air-dried in the early stage. Because of the increasing output, there is no way to ensure enough panels to be air-dried. Only the panels that have been air-dried by fire can be replaced. But there is definitely no sound penetration of the panels that have been air-dried! The output of musical instrument enterprises is inversely proportional to the quality of products! Steinway pianos have maintained a long-term reputation because they don't pursue sacrificing quality with output! Fine musical instruments often come from small but professional Xiaoqinfang! 3.*** Sound the reasonable radian and camber of the zither body. The size of the sound hole on the bottom plate will affect the * * * sound effect of the zither. (The veneer material also has some influence.) 4. Good strings can improve the timbre of the zither. But don't expect to save the timbre of the zither: a zither is like a singer. The overall timbre is like the singer's voice. The number of wood sounds is like the articulation of singing. If the singer's voice is clear, There are only three ace guzheng, namely: Shanghai Dunhuang Guzheng Yangzhou Tianbu Gaolongfeng Guzheng Yangzhou Jinyun Guzheng. I think these should be helpful to your question. In fact, I didn't write these, but I saw them from other websites. You can go and have a look. There are many questions about guzheng in it. You can communicate with them in the forum!
