Where can I find high-quality guqin？

The external features of a guqin include the body, surface, shaft, and string axis. The body of a guqin is the main part, which can be divided into three types: long body, short body, and small body, with the long body being the mainstream. The visible part on the piano surface has seven string tracks and thirteen badges. The shaft refers to the axle used for the strings, and buyers need to check if it is in good condition and if there is excessive wear. The chord axis refers to the mechanical part used for tuning and also needs to be checked for completeness.
The first step in selecting a guqin is to understand the basic knowledge of lacquer surface, guqin board, and gray body. 1. Let is talk about the selection of paint surface first: Traditional Chinese large paint films are hard and shiny, with good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and resistance to various organic solvents. The electrical insulation performance is also very good. Today, we are fortunate enough to touch the old qin that has been around for thousands of years. The role of high-quality lacquer cannot be erased. Big paint also has advantages and disadvantages, and the prices are also different, which is ominous to mention here. Of course, currently low-end guqin still has synthetic lacquer and pure chemical lacquer, as they can reduce costs and have strong price competitiveness. 2. The next thing to consider is the board: currently, there are many materials for making pianos. Guqin made of high-quality cedar wood is also quite common.
Finally, let is analyze the price of guqin: we will only discuss the price of cedar lacquer guqin. Panel cedar: About 500 yuan (old materials, on average, require so much, but good and ordinary ones will be divided to make different grades of guqin). If new cedar is used, it will be much cheaper, after all, it is mined in bulk. Bottom Plate Zimu: About two hundred yuan. The Guqin emphasizes yin and yang, with Chinese fir as yang and Zimu as yin. Zimu is a hardwood that supports the entire body of the qin. Grey tire: About two hundred yuan, mixed with raw lacquer and deer horn cream, plus summer cloth, that is the price. Accessories: A complete set of three hundred yuan, 150 strings, qin emblem, Yue Shan Guan Jiao, wild goose feet. Big paint: 500 to 1000 yuan, as different grades require different amounts of paint. Labor cost: 800-3000 yuan. Pianist Zhuo is paid according to the salary of the qin, with different grades and prices. Therefore, in summary, the cost of a regular guqin is at least 4000 yuan or more
