Do you know the guzheng code? Today, I will introduce three little knowledge about the guzheng code.

1. Why use materials with higher density to make guzheng piano code?

This is determined by the timbre characteristics of the guzheng. Since ancient times, the guzheng has pursued the refreshing style of "sweetness" in the aesthetic taste of timbre, and the material with high density makes this tough characteristic of the zheng appear. In some popular kites, other materials can be matched with materials of the same grade, but the kite must use good materials.

According to the current guzheng market:

1. The mahogany series guzheng is matched with a zither code made of rosewood as raw material, with cow bones embedded on it;

2. The raw material used in Jinsi Nanmu Guzheng series is wenge;

3. All red sandalwood zithers are made of red sandalwood.

2. Why should the upper end of the zither code be inlaid with cow bones?

Because the beef bones meet the acoustic quality requirements of the guzheng, the sound transmission speed is the fastest, and the elasticity and hardness are moderate, which reflects the requirement of the guzheng to pursue bright colors.

The zither code is made of high-density materials such as rosewood, which is determined by the timbre characteristics of the guzheng. Since ancient times, the guzheng has pursued the refreshing style of "sweetness" in the aesthetic taste of timbre, and this tough feature of the zheng is manifested by the use of high-density materials. In some popular zithers, other materials can be matched with materials of the same grade, but the bridge must be made of rosewood.

3. How is the specification of the string rest slot on the zither yard determined?

How the good strings "seat" in the appropriate string rest grooves is also crucial, if the fit is not ideal, it will seriously affect the sound quality and music of the guzheng. Dunhuang guzheng strings have a total of 20 outer diameter specifications (1 and 2 strings have the same outer diameter). Strictly speaking, 20 specifications of different diameters should have 20 different specifications of string resting grooves to match, but most of the string resting grooves in the industry are manually opened (that is, processed by manpower with a file), and the error is relatively small. Large, difficult to fit precisely. The string rest grooves have been partially piloted with mechanical grooves to match the trend of each string.
