With the change of seasons, the southern region will usher in a special weather phenomenon every spring - the southern sky. In this period, the temperature rises, the air humidity increases sharply, the walls, the ground and other places often condense water, which brings a lot of inconvenience to daily life. For fans and collectors of the guzheng, the arrival of Hui Nan Tian means that special attention should be paid to the protection of the instrument.

As a traditional string instrument, the Guzheng is loved by people because of its beautiful tone. However, its structure is mostly wooden structure, with silk or nylon metal strings, so it is highly susceptible to environmental changes. During the period of Hui Nan Tian, due to the excessive humidity in the air, the wood is easy to absorb moisture and expand, resulting in the deformation of the piano body, affecting the intonation and playing effect; At the same time, excessive humidity may also cause mold growth, damage the body and even rust the strings.

To ensure that your zither stays in good condition during this time, the following tips are worth noting:

1. Maintain appropriate humidity: The ideal indoor relative humidity should be between 40%-60%. The humidity level in the room can be controlled by using a dehumidifier or placing a desiccant to avoid excessive humidity causing damage to the zither.
2. Proper ventilation: Although the humidity needs to be reduced, it is still necessary to ensure a certain amount of air circulation to prevent the accumulation of moisture in confined Spaces. You can choose to open the window for ventilation when the weather is better, but to avoid rain and fog weather.
3. Regular inspection and maintenance: often observe the status of the zither, if there is a slight deformation or other abnormal conditions should be dealt with in time. Consider hiring a professional for debugging and maintenance to ensure that the zither is in the best condition.
4. Proper storage: When not in use, the zither should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated place, preferably covered with a piano cover, to reduce the chance of contact with external moisture. In addition, try to avoid placing the guzheng directly against the wall to prevent the damp effect caused by water seepage from the wall.
5. Pay attention to personal hygiene habits: wash and dry hands before playing to avoid sweat on the body. After playing, clean and soft cloth should also be used to wipe the piano surface to remove residual hand sweat and dust.
