Better pipa panels are generally clear, straight and wide in spacing. At present, the high-quality pipa panels of middle and high-end pipa are basically made by some small factories, and the natural lines of the selected pipa panels are not so clear, and the grain spacing is much smaller or even invisible.

brief introduction

If a pair of pipa nails are played every day, they can generally be used for more than half a year. Fake nails should pay attention to these three requirements: proper thickness, tough texture and smooth and wear-resistant surface, because if the material is thick, it will lack elasticity. For example, if the material is too thin, it is not suitable for forcibly playing strings. If there is no considerable wear resistance, it will often break. If the surface is not smooth, you will feel uncomfortable when playing the string.

At present, pipa carapace is made of plastic, and it is molded at high water temperature with molds. Tortoise shell is more similar to human carapace than tortoise shell.

Pipa panel is made of loose paulownia wood, which is not protected by painting. Therefore, we should pay special attention to keep the panel clean so as not to affect the appearance quality. Try not to touch the panel with your fingernails when playing, so as to reduce the wear of the panel and prolong the service life. It is also a good idea for someone to stick a transparent plastic sheet with a certain thickness on the panel. Too dry and too wet will affect the sound quality, so keep a certain humidity.
