The string tone can also be tuned by moving the zheng code in the direction of the front mountain to make the sound higher, and moving the zheng code in the opposite direction to make the sound lower. However, when shifting, the bridge should avoid direct friction with the panel, otherwise it will cause the bridge legs to become unstable and affect the intonation.

(2) According to the string sequence, determine the octave harmony with the same name as a1 on the thirteen colored strings - the a sound. This sound is also the sol sound in the key of D in the simplified notation.

(3) Sing the ascending fourth tone do from the sol sound, and set the d1 sound on the eleventh string according to the string sequence. This sound is also the do sound in the key of D in the simplified notation.
