Maintenance of Guzheng in winter

winter maintenance
1. Avoid playing outdoors.

2. Pay attention to the temperature changes of the instrument when playing indoors. It should be as soft as possible to avoid hot and cold. If you feel that the instrument is too cold, you can preheat it with your hands. When you are resting, place the instrument vertically. Do not put it on a cold bed, table, etc. The reason for the explosion is the sudden cold and sudden heat.

3. Avoid moisture intrusion. Cold moisture in winter can easily invade the instrument, resulting in the deviation of timbre intonation.

4. When you go out to carry a musical instrument, you must make a cotton cover for the musical instrument to keep warm. Don't rush to open the package when you enter the room. You can wait for a while and open it after the package and the musical instrument are basically adapted.

5. Keep away from doors, windows, heating, air conditioning, etc.

If you use heating indoors in the north in winter and the air is relatively dry, not only can the zither not be close to the heating, but also pay attention to the indoor air humidity. The indoor humidity should be kept at 50%-70% as much as possible to keep the guzheng in the best environment.
