Gayageum is too similar to guzheng. Should I wear a fake nails when playing?

Let's have a look! First of all, you need to wear fake nails to play the guzheng, but you don't need to wear fake nails to play the piano. This is because * * * vibrates the strings of the harp, and the angle at which fingers touch the strings is different when playing the harp and the zither, so you can achieve enough strength with bare fingers. In addition, if you take off the fingertips that are often used when playing the harp, wearing fake nails will not help, but hinder it. Therefore, the harp, like the zither, does not wear fake nails, but uses a finger and a nail to touch the rope.

This also makes the hole rope generally use nylon rope and nylon wound steel wire, without bare wire. Accordingly, Kong Hou canceled Zheng's power, and some techniques were more detailed. The strings of guzheng are arched surfaces with a certain radian, so when jumping between two strings separated by a certain distance, you must raise your hand a little. In addition, the midline of the whole string is sharply inclined, sometimes actually increasing the distance, so it takes a little longer than the straight movement.

In addition, each string is slightly higher than the adjacent two strings (although slightly higher), so it is easier to pluck one string on the guzheng. The strings of the harp are completely flat. Every time you jump between two strings at a certain distance, you hardly need to raise your hand, and the midpoint of the whole string is not inclined to shorten the distance, so sometimes the moving speed is slightly faster than on the arch or diagonal. In addition, each string is on the same plane, so it is not easy to touch it-sometimes the angle of the index finger is wrong, and if you touch it too soon, you will touch the next string.

In terms of the number of overtones, each string of guzheng can have multiple overtones with the help of the left hand, while the empty string can't touch the same string because the two strings are separated, so each string can only pop up one overtone without stepping on it, but it can be flexibly modified in the overtone melody by using vibration suppression technology. Historically and culturally, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the guzheng has been loved by people because of its bright and simple characteristics, and gradually replaced the famous musical instrument-the harp. This is the era when Kong Hou was introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions. Since Wei and Jin Dynasties, both of them have become important musical instruments.
