Regarding Tuning before Shipping: (關於運輸前給樂器調音)
Some customers ask us to tune the instrument before shipping. Although we'd love to, but we won't, for some reasons:
- After tuning, the strings are tight, and it can damage the instrument during the shipping. For Erhu, Pipa, and Ruan, the strings might break, and the tuning peg might fall off. For Yangqin, Guzheng, the bridges might fall off or move, and scratch or damage the sound board. It's not safe for other instruments as well.
- Wooden instruments need to be retuned when put in a new environment, because of the different temperature and humidity, so It absolutely makes no sense to tune them before shipping. Furthermore, we advise the players for Yangqin, Guzheng, which take long time to turn, that they put the instruments in the new place for a couple days, to get them adapt to the new environments and be stable, before tuning.
We know some seller claim that they tune the instruments before shipping. That's very unprofessional.
有客戶希望我們發貨前,把樂器調音,儘管我們可以這麼做,但是我們不會這麼做,因為兩個原因:
- 調完音後,琴弦會很緊,運輸過程中有可能會對樂器造成損害。二胡,琵琶,阮的運輸過程中,琴弦可能會斷,琴軸會脫落。揚琴,古箏,琴碼可能會倒移動,磨傷損害音板。其他的樂器,也有可能會造成損害。
- 木質樂器到新的地方,由於不同的溫度和濕度,都需要重新調音,所以在運輸前調音是毫無意義的。同時由於古箏,揚琴調音時間較長,我們建議客戶把樂器在新的地方擱置幾天,等樂器適應新的環境,木質穩定後再調音。
我們知道有的商家宣稱運輸前把樂器調好音,這是非常不專業的。
