How to use overtones on a guqin? Today, I will share with you the specific steps of the positive harmonic tuning method.
The tuning method of the positive tune (F key), after tuning, the dispersion of the seven strings from the first string (gong string) to the seventh string (wu string) is 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 1= F.
First prepare a whistle or tuning fork with standard tone A.
- Blow the whistle and let the five strings and seven emblems be at the same height as the standard tone A.
- Use the five emblems of the name finger to pick the seven strings, and the four emblems of the index finger to hook the five strings, so that the overtones of the two strings are at the same height. The seventh string should be based on the fifth string. If the two strings are different in height, do not move the fifth string when tuning the seventh string. The same is true below.
- After the seventh string is aligned, use the seventh string to tune the fourth string. The seven emblems of the big finger generally pick up the seven strings, and the nine emblems of the name finger generally hook the four strings, so that the overtones of the two strings are at the same height.
- Use the fourth string to tune the sixth string. The five emblems of the name finger generally pick six strings, and the four emblems of the index finger generally hook the four strings, so that the overtones of the two strings are at the same height.
- Use the sixth string to tune the third string. The seven emblems of the big finger generally pick six strings, and the nine emblems of the name finger are generally hooked to the three strings, so that the overtones of the two strings are at the same height.
- Use the fifth string to tune the second string. The seven emblems of the big finger generally pick the five strings, and the nine emblems of the name finger are generally hooked to the second string, so that the overtones of the two strings are at the same height.
- Finally, tune the first string with the fourth string. The seven emblems of the big finger generally pick four strings, and the nine emblems of the name finger are generally hooked to one string, so that the overtones of the two strings are at the same height.
At this point, all seven strings are tuned.
