For many consumers who buy new pianos, they will encounter three concepts that merchants often say: raw lacquer, half-baked lacquer, and full raw lacquer.

First of all, a concept is defined: raw lacquer, also known as lacquer, national lacquer, and earth lacquer, is a kind of natural paint cut from the lacquer tree. Now you can see many handed down guqin because of the natural antiseptic effect of lacquer.

1. Raw lacquer

Raw lacquer rubbing is a very traditional process, that is, on the surface of the object to be painted (painted), a very thin layer of paint film is wiped with cotton cloth, cotton silk, non-woven fabric or hair strands and other tools. Repeat this, as few as a few times as much as hundreds of times, to form a beautiful paint film. In the field of lacquer construction, this statement is generally relative to the painting process.

2. Semi-painted

Half-baked lacquer generally refers to the guqin grey tire made of cashew lacquer or other materials. But the outermost layer is raw lacquer, either brushed or brushed. At present, there are slightly better practice pianos under 6,700 yuan on the market, and most of them are half-baked lacquer pianos. Since the outermost layer is sealed with raw lacquer, it is often impossible to distinguish semi-raw lacquer from pure raw lacquer.

3. All raw lacquer

All raw lacquer generally refers to the preparation of raw lacquer from wood lacquer, cloth wrapping, coarse, medium and fine ash to the final finish, and no chemical lacquer ingredients are incorporated in the construction. This is traditional material craftsmanship. Generally speaking, the new qin made of raw lacquer basically has no smell, and the main smell of wood when the nose is close to Longchi is the smell of wood.
