The pipa plays an important role in the history of Chinese folk music culture, and the price of the pipa is not cheap, even the entry-level ones are very expensive because of its workmanship and selection of materials. Therefore, special attention should be paid to daily protection and maintenance. Usually, the protection is not as simple as doing something random. The pipa bag plays a very important role in the protection of musical instruments. Below, I will put forward the reasons why I need a pipa bag to care for the pipa from a professional point of view.
The daily maintenance of the pipa needs to pay attention to two aspects: one is not to be injured, and the other is not to get wet.
1. Trauma
Most of the common injuries of the pipa are caused by external forces, such as the fall of the head and the bottom of the pipa. This is the first reason why the editor said that everyone should have a pipa bag for pipa protection. After using the pipa, put it in the pipa bag and put it in a dry and proper place. The gap between performances needs to be placed temporarily. It should be placed flat on the table in the center. It should not be upright and leaning against the center of the wall. It must be leaned against. Usually, it can be placed in the pipa bag and hung on the wall.
2. Moisture-proof
Children's shoes who know Pipa know that the panel, head and other parts of Pipa are glued together during the production process, so they are afraid of moisture, and they are easy to be degummed after getting wet, which affects the volume and tone, so they should not be placed in the Wet places can not be attacked by rain. In addition, the panel is a sycamore board, which will absorb a lot of moisture when it gets wet, reducing the volume. Even if the panel is pasted with chemical glue that is not afraid of moisture, the pipa still needs to be moisture-proof. This is also the second reason why the editor recommends the Pipa bag to everyone. A qualified Pipa bag fabric is waterproof, and it is filled with velvet, which can isolate moisture.
