How to change rubber bands for dulcimer and bamboo? It's really difficult to say this. This is also a kind of comprehensive ability of dulcimer!
You need to cut a length of rubber band that suits your bamboo, and then cut a length of the same length according to your own bamboo. (Note that you should choose the kind of scissors with a sharper tip and a sharper tip.)
Then, put a short distance on the cut rubber band (if you are afraid of breaking, this short distance can be appropriately longer, and then go back and cut it again-because the rubber band made a hole and started to cut it place, so it must not be a very natural straight start, and because of this, it increases the possibility of the rubber band breaking) start to cut from bottom to top, when cutting, hold the rubber band with the left hand, and lift the scissors with the right hand upward. , is to try to cut the lines as smooth and straight as possible.
Now the key is to install. Align the hole at one end of the rubber band with the head of the bamboo, (actually it is not so difficult to install - because the head of the bamboo is a bit pointed), hold it down with one hand, turn the rubber band over and pull down with the other, and pull it in a little to be sure. When it pops up, you can let go first. Now, the index fingers and thumbs of both hands hold a little rubber band on both sides (in order to reduce friction and reduce the possibility of the rubber band breaking), and use other fingers to connect with the piano and bamboo. The frictional force of the body part pulls the rubber band in (especially when passing through the belly of the hammer, because if there is no rubber band here, it will not break.) Finally, when you reach the destination, just turn the other end of the rubber band over It's fine on the bamboo head.
