Matters needing attention

Guzheng nails are used to increase the volume, extend the length of fingers and protect the fingertips and nails. Wearing nails correctly is directly related to the quality of practice and the effect of performance.

When wearing the belt, fix the adhesive tape at a distance of 1-2mm from the nail root. The adhesive tapes are stacked neatly and wound around the fingers for 2-3 times. The bottom is close to the first knuckle, and the top usually exceeds the fingertip 1-2mm.

Wear your nails moderately. When it is too loose, it is not firmly tied, and it lacks strength when playing, and it is easy to fall off. When it is too tight, it lacks elasticity, and the blood circulation of fingers is blocked, which affects the flexibility of fingers when playing.
