In the sultry rainy season, have you paid attention to maintaining your guzheng?

Guzheng, a wood product, is very susceptible to climate change, and it is unfavorable to be too dry and wet.

The best storage temperature of guzheng is 20-25 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 50-60%.

During the rainy season, guzheng is most susceptible to moisture. This will not only lead to problems such as expansion, deformation or local degumming of wood components (panels, etc.). ), but also affect their timbre. Many people ask, why is my guzheng voice suddenly boring and the volume is much lower? In fact, it is the problem that the wooden gap becomes smaller when the guzheng is damp.

So you need to pay attention to:

In rainy season, we should not only pay attention to dryness and ventilation, but also pay attention to putting it in the right place at ordinary times. (Note that the guzheng should not be exposed to direct sunlight often, which is easy to crack due to excessive drying. Pay attention to the use of heating. Due to the rainy season, the humidity in the house is too high. It is best to choose a dehumidifier to balance the air humidity and ensure the dryness of the guzheng. In rainy days, you can choose to put the Zheng into the Zheng box, and put the desiccant into the Zheng box after use.

It is always rainy in the south this season. In the face of humid climate, don't forget to maintain your guzheng. In order to prevent rust or mildew, we suggest that you wipe the strings with a dry cloth after each practice to ensure a clean state. (Don't use wet cloth) It is the easiest to sweat when practicing piano in summer, and sweating on the palms is also common. Don't let sweat pollute the strings! Otherwise, the strings will rust and shorten the service life! Cleaning the piano cloth must be a must! Many friends are in the air-conditioned room to prevent the guzheng from getting wet.

However, it should be noted that whether it is rainy season or winter, when placing the guzheng in the air-conditioned room, we should pay attention to "don't blow the air-conditioning tuyere directly at the guzheng". If you take the guzheng out of the air-conditioned room, remember to box it first, otherwise it will easily crack due to sudden cold and heat.
