Fingers of the Guzheng

The finger movement of the guzheng is a very critical part. It can be said that the sound quality depends on the finger movement method. When playing the piano, the fingertip joints should actively hook the strings. It's like the moment when an eagle catches a chick and exerts strength. When you're done playing, relax into your normal hand and prepare for the next strum.

Fingers of the Guzheng

Common mistakes:

  1. The large joints of the fingers exert too much force, and the fingertip joints are not active.
  2. Fingers like to "pull" the strings after they are on the strings. The correct one is to play the piano at a distance of about 3 mm from the strings (personally think this tone is better).
  3. When playing octaves, I like to pull my hands up on the strings.
  4. After completing an action, the fingers are still in a tense state.
