There are some tips for buying guzheng nails that can be shared with you to avoid being deceived into buying "fake nails".

1. The surface of the most commonly used tortoiseshell nails is of two colors. When we choose: first, we need to see if the size of the nails is suitable for the length of the finger of the buyer; The arc is relatively easy to use; the third depends on whether the distribution of the two colors is even, too much or too little black is not good.

2. Ordinary plastic ones are about 5 yuan, and horns are flat, and the workmanship is relatively rough, and the price is about 8-20 yuan. The workmanship and materials are slightly better than the tortoise shell. It feels very light to touch the string. There are medium and high prices. The so-called high level is related to the requirements of workmanship and materials and the surface of the nails. The price of tortoiseshell nails is 20-60 yuan.

3. Guzheng nails should first be suitable for the length of your fingers, that is to say, the length of the first section of your fingers should match the nails you purchased, neither too long nor too short. The nail surface should preferably be wider and pointed at the top, not too thick. There are many nail materials used to play the guzheng. Under normal circumstances, most of them are selected, including plastic, resin, and tortoiseshell. Generally speaking, the plastic and resin are seriously worn on the strings. It is recommended to buy the tortoiseshell. Although it is more expensive, it does not hurt the strings, and the sound quality is better when it pops out. Well, no matter what material it is, it will not break easily, excluding man-made damage, but it may break after a long time of use.

Choosing a better guzheng nail can effectively protect our own nails from damage and improve the tone, so it is very necessary to buy a suitable guzheng nail.
