To replace the dulcimer strings, first of all, clean up the broken parts of the strings left by the broken strings, and choose suitable new strings. String to the right of the tuning peg.
Visually measure the length of the strings, cut off the excess parts, and insert the strings into the string holes of the tuning pins. When the ends of the strings are inserted into the string holes until they are slightly exposed, then bend the strings by hand to form 90 degrees with the string holes. Angle, screw one turn, and then press down on the strings to try to rotate the pins, the strings that are being wound should be turned down one after the other, and gradually enter the tuning process.
When tuning, the last circle of the string winding must be wound around the cylindrical part of the light pin, avoiding its four-edged and angular part to prevent the string from breaking.
Analyze the reasons for the broken strings in tuning. The broken strings generally occur at the position of the tuning shaft on the right side of the strings or at the position of the mutual pressure of the strings. Except for the broken strings caused by incorrect tuning, it is generally the four corners of the upper part of the pins. The edge part breaks the strings.
Therefore, it is necessary to master the rules when tuning or changing the strings, so that the last circle of the wound strings can be wound around the cylindrical part of the pin, avoiding its four corners. Controls the break rate.
