Regarding the maintenance of guzheng strings, the following is a detailed introduction for you.

1. The tighter the tuning is, the faster the string will age. Guzheng strings are generally relatively tight. If they are too loose, the timbre will not be "sound and bright", and the zither code is also easy to loosen and skip. Therefore, it does not take a long time for the sound of a new guzheng to be adjusted to the best condition. Similarly, the aging sound of guzheng strings becomes "stuffy" in a very short time. Strings played with high strength will age faster, while strings played with low strength will age slowly. Guzheng is played with great strength, which makes the strings age quickly and become "stuffy".
2. It is often necessary to tune in to keep the tension of the strings and the purity of the timbre.
3. The zither string is made of steel wire wrapped with nylon. If it gets wet in the rain or sweats too much, the steel wire inside will rust, the string will turn yellow, and it will be easy to age. Usually do not play the zither with wet hands, do not wipe the strings with a damp cloth, do not use a knife or other hard tools to scrape the strings, use a soft brush for dust removal, and the dust should be disposed of in time.
4. Before playing the zither, wash your hands and dry them to prevent water, sweat, oil, etc. on your fingers from sticking to the strings, making the strings dirty or rusted and shortening the service life. In order to prevent dust, it is best to make a zither Or the zither cover, after playing the zither cover (cover) well.
5. Usually, the kite is placed indoors, not exposed to rain, not exposed to the sun for a long time, and not close to extremely dry environments such as heating.
6. If you don't play the zither for a short time, don't loosen the strings or remove the zither code, as long as it is moisture-proof, sun-proof, and dust-proof. Do not place it directly on the ground or hang it on a damp wall. When the humidity is heavy, put the zither in the box and put the desiccant in the box.
7. When moving the zither post for tuning, use your hand to touch the string up first to reduce the pressure of the string on the zither post before moving, so as not to damage the zither string and scratch the panel.
8. Frequent use can keep the strings and resonators of the instrument in a good vibration state for a long time, which is conducive to further reconciliation between the structures of the instrument and makes the sound of the zither relatively stable.
