The correct way to wear guzheng nails

Usually, players need to wear three prosthetics on their hands, one for each of the large, food, and middle fingers; some people wear four, one for each of the large, food, middle, and ring fingers of the right hand. With the expansion of modern zheng skills, multi-part performances are widely used, and wearing a mascot on the right hand is no longer suitable for the requirements of music. Therefore, wear mascots on both hands. That is, one big, one food, one middle and one ring finger on both hands.

If the false nails are flat on both sides, it doesn't matter anyway; if one side is curved, then the flat surface needs to be worn against the belly of the finger, and the tape should be wrapped around the middle of the first joint of the finger. Close to the belly of the finger. Avoid the adhesive tape sticking to the first joint activity. It affects the flexibility of the finger. The length of the vanity armor varies from person to person. Generally, it does not exceed the first joint line of the finger, and it is appropriate to exceed the fingertip by about 0.5 cm. Use medical cloth tape to tie it. There are two positions for wearing prosthetics. One is to stick to the belly of the finger, and the other is to stick to the surface of the finger (real nail surface). Both methods can be used. Most people now wear it on their fingertips. When the big finger prosthesis finger is about 70 degrees, the big finger can touch the strings at a suitable angle. Generally speaking, the fingertips are in vertical contact with the strings, and the rest of the prosthetic nails only need to be worn directly along the direction of the nail growth. That's it.
