Traps encountered in buying guzheng

Guzheng (Italian: LaCetra), also known as Han Zheng, Qin Zheng, Yao Zheng and Luan Zheng, is a traditional musical instrument of the Han nationality and belongs to plucked musical instruments. Now many people are learning guzheng. Here are some traps I have compiled for you to buy guzheng. I hope I can help you.

Traps encountered in purchasing guzheng 1. online shopping

As an online shopper who cut off his limbs, let me first talk about several standards of online shopping and tell the vast number of hands-chopping people Zheng friends:

1, I don't buy the lowest price and the highest price-usually to attract traffic and sort;

2. I don't buy the highest sales volume and the lowest sales volume-the highest sales volume is generally the list, and the sales volume is 0. Most of them really don't buy (except new products)

3, I don't buy the first place-usually it is to brush the list or promote.

4. I don't buy things with good reviews and similar contents-most of them are swipes.

(1) Anti-counterfeiting (features: low price): Especially for a certain brand, because there is a branch factory in a certain place, many workers make their own products at home, and the appearance (technical level) is similar, but the timbre is very different, and the local anti-counterfeiting industry can wholesale trademarks, tags, signatures, or even a few dollars to a full set of procedures, so even if your anti-counterfeiting verification is true,

(2) Fake goods (features: high sales): This is a very good judgment-the price is low, never believe in cheap and good quality!

Second, the teacher

There are many kinds of teachers, and it is understandable to sell guzheng. Some only teach not to sell, some only sell brands, some only sell good timbre, and some only sell high profits. Here you will encounter the second trap: the trap of shoddy! This phenomenon is extremely unique.

Criteria for judging inferior quality: the brand is unknown, no authoritative information can be found, and no celebrity has ever seen it, but the teacher will make a sample book with various honors, such as gold medals and famous brands.

Can I say one here? Standard? Mahogany is not necessarily red, and red is usually not mahogany. Take your time to understand, so do other materials-don't judge materials by color!

Third, musical instrument store.

Music stores are a declining industry. In the future, there will only be some brand chain music stores, as well as local shops opened by celebrities (you can keep them open, if you want), and a considerable number of Qin Xiao will be eliminated by the market-sales are more important than training-even if the training is done well, it is difficult to reverse the public impression-this is a place where all kinds of musical instruments are sold. This phenomenon is not uncommon.

They like to put all kinds of guzheng in the shop. There are brands, but they are placed in the corner, and there is even dust on them. Then they sort out the guzheng they represent, adjust the sound, and then someone will buy it, especially when they specify a brand, and he will sincerely put it in front of you and tell you how the brand guzheng is not worthy of the name and how the guzheng they recommend is beautiful. Then, even if you don't know guzheng, you can do it.

There is also a fourth trap in the music store: civet cats for princes! It is also the most hidden method. Shops sell brands, and the procedures for trademarks, tags, anti-counterfeiting and so on are complete. As far as you know, your teacher or senior even bought a guzheng in this music store, but you were recruited. Why? Because they took down the real guzheng procedures and used them on fakes bought through informal channels, while the real guzheng was sold to reliable related households even if there were no procedures (the procedures were not expensive).

Fourth, the training center

Usually there are only 1-2 brands in the training center. Students use guzheng in class and teachers use guzheng in teaching. Here you will encounter the fifth trap: the sham as the genuine! This situation is rare. After all, the training center focuses on teaching, supplemented by sales. This kind of guzheng is exaggerated in appearance, unique in technology and colorful. There is no similar guzheng in the market for reference. Usually it will be sold to you with a limited edition as a gimmick, and you will pay a high price for its uniqueness. In fact, these external things have little to do with the timbre of guzheng, but you can't say that you have been cheated because there is no comparability.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) factory

People who come to the factory to buy a guzheng are definitely not cheap. After all, the round-trip fare is there, and you have to pay for transportation, food and accommodation yourself. Usually enthusiasts recognize this brand and want to choose a guzheng in person. This is normal. But some beginners mistakenly think that it will be cheaper to come to the factory, so they should choose their own guzheng. At this time, they met the sixth trap: the acquaintance trap! This situation is less and less, because the price of guzheng is transparent, and it is gradually transferred to non-standard industries such as guqin.

First of all, if you come to the factory to buy guzheng, it will be more expensive than buying it locally. If you have an acquaintance to lead the way, or an acquaintance of an acquaintance to lead the way, at this time, you will generally buy a rare but highly recommended guzheng in the market at a high price, because the manufacturer who introduced you to buy a guzheng will generally pay him a certain introduction fee, and this money must be paid by you!

Moreover, regular manufacturers will never give you the wholesale price because you come to the factory, and will not destroy the channel because you have a guzheng. Now that I'm here, I want to take a guzheng back. The manufacturer will not give you the wholesale price, even higher than the price you buy locally! There is also unfortunate news: those who are willing to put down their bodies and give you low prices are not good guzheng!

Sixth, the famous teacher

Teachers in some professional colleges have high requirements for students to use guzheng, and Hong Xian also recognizes this, because the performance of performance-level guzheng is incomparable to that of ordinary guzheng. The teacher even went to the factory to help the students choose the guzheng in person, and even asked the manufacturer to customize the guzheng for their use, and the price was not outrageous. It is normal for students majoring in the Conservatory of Music to have more than three guzheng-I personally think that students are the face of teachers and have followed them for so many years. But there may also be a seventh trap here: different prices for the same paragraph. This situation is rare. /kloc-I only heard it once in 0/0 years. Maybe the teacher's painting is broken.

A guzheng teacher in a university brought an amateur student, and then the student entrusted the teacher to buy a guzheng. Somehow, I took a fancy to a 3000 yuan, 60% new guzheng used by the teacher for teaching, and the transaction price was 8000 yuan. I'm confused. Maybe Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai ~ but I still know the news, because the parents of the students asked me the price of a friend who taught guzheng.
