hi, i have a very small beginners guzheng and for tuning i was using the universal tuner app, but it seems its missing 4 notes, the mini guzheng i can tune in d or g. i tuned it in d because i like the f# note. other problem with this beginner piece, it has an a continuous wooden stick to hold the strings, so no wooden feet like the big guzheng.And is it normal that the strings i have adjusted , the next day and i have to retune again? especially the low notes? sorry so many questions...
My guzheng keeps getting flat.. like in an hour after tuning, i have to tune it all over again, my string are super old, is that the reason?
What kind of strings does a Guzheng use? (steel,nylon etc.)
Hey thank you for the video!
I have a question tho i bought a guzheng and when i was tuning it i went to high and a string came off. I really don’t know what to do i really want to learn this instrument 😭
u have to replace the string if it broke/came off
Does it matter where the position of the bridges are? Some of mine fell down during transportation, but if I put them somewhere in between then two adjacent bridges, and tune the string to the right note, will it matter if the bridge is not exactly where it may have been when I first bought it? The bridge position will of course affect the note on the string, but the tuning can compensate for the change, I'm just worried that if it's not in the right place it will start to move or something.
Hi there! Strictly speaking it does matter where the position of the bridges are, because when guzhengs need to change key, there should be ample space for the bridges to be shifted.
Other than that, it's helps with the overall tension of the strings. Too far right and the strings will be loose, too far left and the strings will be too tight. The problem comes with each position is, if the string is too loose, the guzheng will sound dull and the bridge will move easily; too tight, and you'll risk breaking the string quicker.
@@EasonMusic So it's better to get my guzheng serviced by a qualified tuner rather than tune it myself if the bridges have moved out of place over the years?
Are all wrench sizes the same for guzheng? :)
Hi there! As far as we know, the wrench size is standard for Guzhengs :)
@@EasonMusic thank you so much! ♥️
why A 442 and not 440 ?
ActivistArts both of them are okay!
What city are you in? Can I bring my guy Zheng for tuning ? How much do you charge for tuning?
