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.
As a musical instrument, the guqin must be able to play. So not resisting fingers, not sanding, and not playing board are essential conditions for an excellent guqin. Then there is the sound. As an exercise, being able to produce a sound is basically enough to satisfy the practice, but as a good friend who accompanies the pianist, the timbre cannot be ignored because it directly relates to the cultivation of the interest of the pianist. A qualified guqin should have a consistent timbre and volume for its scattered, pressed, and overtones. The sound of a guqin should have a sinking feeling, and it is considered good if the sound is not scattered and the charm is long.
With the spread of the Guqin culture, countless people yearn for it and start learning to play it. What is the first step? It must be choosing a good guqin. As the saying goes, To do a good job, one must first sharpen one is tools and A skilled woman cannot cook without rice, it shows how important a good guqin is to a pianist! So what kind of guqin is better? So how do you choose a satisfactory guqin? I believe those who have some understanding of ancient qin know that almost all good qin are handmade by Zhuo qin masters using traditional craftsmanship. On the one hand, manual carving involves slow work and meticulous craftsmanship, which can avoid quality issues caused by mass production and rough manufacturing. On the other hand, it is truly commendable for people like Li Yifan and Ni Shiyun who can both play and chop the qin. When they chop the qin, they will incorporate their own playing skills into the ancient qin they make, giving it a unique charm.
