As a wooden musical instrument, the guzheng is really very precious, and it can neither get wet nor too dry. And because of the different climates in our north and south, the maintenance methods of guzheng in different regions are also different!

The southern area is relatively humid. In order to prevent the guzheng from being affected by dampness, it is necessary to place the guzheng in a dry and ventilated place. In the north, the opposite is true. The north is drier, especially in the cold winter. If it is not properly maintained, it is very likely If the guzheng panel is cracked, although it will not have a great impact on the timbre of the guzheng, seeing the cracked panel will inevitably cause some heartbreak. Therefore, in the north, a humidifier is usually provided for the guzheng to maintain the balance of the wood properties. .

Does the guzheng need regular maintenance?

Without further ado, let me tell you about the maintenance of the guzheng and the precautions when you need to carry the zheng when you go out to perform, so that your guzheng can accompany you for a longer time.

1. After practicing the zither, remember to put the guzheng cover on the guzheng to prevent dust from falling, so that your guzheng can always be as new, and covering the guzheng cover can also avoid direct sunlight! The most important thing is to avoid the bear children who come to visit your house from ruining your Aizheng!

2. The zheng body and zither code should be maintained regularly and wiped with a dry rag or a guzheng ash brush. One thing to note here: don't get wet! If the guzheng panel is soaked with water, it will affect the sound, and in severe cases, it may become moldy!

3. If you want to go out to perform, the guzheng needs to be transported. Remember to unload the zither code and put it into the zither box of the zheng head before transporting, so as to avoid the tight strings from breaking during transportation.

In just three steps, your guzheng can be guaranteed to stay brand new for a long time, so hurry up and take care of your guzheng!
