How to choose dulcimer? This is the first problem everyone faces when learning dulcimer.
First of all, it depends on whether the material used for making the piano is high-quality wood. The wood grain and wood color of the dulcimer panel are required to be uniform. Because the panel is made of multiple pieces of sycamore wood, if the material selection and production are not good, there will be color differences. The panel is uniform and the panel is uneven. Because the panel of the dulcimer directly affects the tone and sound quality, it is the most important core part of selecting the dulcimer.
The second is to look at the quality of other components, including whether the pegs and pegs are neatly arranged, whether there are cracks around, whether the pegs are vertical, and whether the rotation is flexible. Whether the balls and small yards are in order, whether the left and right cover plates are in line with the piano body, and whether the hinges are appropriate, otherwise there will be noise.
Once again, look at the production process of the piano. The paint and color of the piano should be uniform and shiny. Whether the strings and pegs are rusted, pay attention to check the body for defects, cracks and scratches.
Finally, listen to the timbre and sound quality of the piano, which will ultimately determine the choice of the piano, so it is also the most critical. The primary criteria for a high-quality dulcimer are pure sound quality and beautiful sound. From the bass region to the treble region, it should be connected up and down. Compare whether the sound quality of each sound region is balanced and uniform, the reverberation is long, the hand feels elastic, the sound is strong, concentrated, and there is a certain amount of sound. penetrating power.
