[0034] Furthermore, the piano body 1 is made of stone with certain acoustic properties, and the stone is selected from but not limited to bluestone, white marble, black jade, etc. The piano body 1 has an inner cavity to produce resonance, and the surface of the piano body 1 is polished and carved to form a unique artistic shape.

[0035] Furthermore, the appearance design of the body 1 refers to the styles of traditional guqin, such as Fuxi style, Zhongni style and Luoxia style, and is innovatively designed according to the natural shape and texture of the stone. The inner cavity of the body 1 is hollowed out using professional tools and techniques to ensure that the size, shape and depth of the groove can optimize the timbre of the guqin.

[0036] Furthermore, the strings 3 are made of silk or nylon steel, and the tension is adjusted to obtain a satisfactory tone effect. A plurality of guitar badges 11 are used to mark the pitches of the strings 3, and the materials of the plurality of guitar badges 11 are selected from shells, jade or metal.

[0037] A method for making a stone guqin comprises the following steps:

[0038] S1. Material selection: Choose stones with acoustic properties, such as bluestone, white marble or black jade;

[0039] S2. Design and planning: drawing design drawings based on the style of the traditional guqin and the characteristics of the stone, and determining the shape, size and internal structure of the guqin body 1;

[0040] S3, processing and manufacturing, cutting and grinding the stone to form the basic shape of the piano body 1, and digging a groove inside the piano body 1;

[0041] S4, accessories installation, install the yoke 2 and the yoke 5 and other components, adjust their height and angle to meet the tension requirements of the strings 3;

[0042] S5, stringing and tuning, select appropriate strings 3 to install on the piano body 1, and tune to obtain a satisfactory tone.

[0043] Furthermore, in step S3, when the inner cavity is hollowed out, it is necessary to use small electric tools or hand tools for fine processing, and then use sandpaper and other tools for polishing and finishing.

[0044] Furthermore, in step S4, the material of the shank 2 and the gingiva 5 during the installation of the accessories is hard stone or other materials, and the shank 2 and the gingiva 5 are installed on the piano body 1 by glue or mortise and tenon structure.

[0045] Furthermore, in step S4, during the installation of accessories, the polished piano body 1 and the bottom plate 8 are assembled together to ensure a tight fit without any gaps.

[0046] Furthermore, in step S5, the tension of the strings 3 is repeatedly adjusted during stringing and tuning to ensure that the pitch of each string 3 is accurate and the tone is harmonious.

[0047] When using it, you should choose a stone with uniform texture, moderate density, and no obvious cracks and flaws. Common stones suitable for making stone guqins include bluestone, white marble, black jade, etc. Each stone has its own unique timbre characteristics and visual effects. For example, white marble has a fine texture and white color, which is suitable for making guqins with exquisite shapes and clear tones; black jade has a larger density and a darker color, which may make the guqin's tone more full-bodied. According to the design size and shape of the guqin, choose a stone of appropriate size and shape. Generally speaking, the length, width and thickness of the stone should be able to meet the structural requirements of the guqin, and there should be enough margin for processing and polishing.

[0048] According to the style and proportion of the traditional guqin and the characteristics of the stone, the design drawings of the stone guqin are drawn. The design drawings should include detailed information such as the shape and size of the body 1, the position of the qin badge 11, the height of the yueshan 2 and the dragon gum 5, etc., so as to facilitate subsequent processing and production. The structure of the body 1 of the stone guqin can refer to the structure of the traditional wooden guqin, which is divided into two parts: the panel and the bottom plate 8. The panel and the bottom plate 8 can be connected by mortise and tenon structure or glue. When designing the structure of the body 1, the weight and stability of the stone should be taken into account to ensure that the body 1 can firmly support the tension of the strings 3.

[0049] Use professional stone cutting tools to cut the stone into the approximate shape of the piano body. Then, use sandpaper, grinding wheels and other tools to polish the stone to make its surface smooth and flat, and meet the design size and shape requirements. During the polishing process, pay attention to maintaining the texture and color of the stone, and try to show the natural beauty of the stone.

[0050] The corresponding inner cavity is hollowed out on the stone top plate and the bottom plate 8, imitating the groove structure of the wooden guqin. The shape and depth of the groove will affect the timbre of the guqin, so it needs to be finely processed according to the design requirements. Small electric tools or hand tools can be used for hollowing, and then sandpaper and other tools can be used for grinding and trimming.

[0051] The ridge 2 and the gum 5 are important parts of the guqin that support the strings 3. They need to be made of hard stone or other materials. The stone can be carved into the shape of the ridge 2 and the gum 5, and then installed on the body 1 by glue or mortise and tenon structure. When installing, make sure that the height and angle of the ridge 2 and the gum 5 meet the tension requirements of the strings 3 in order to obtain a good tone.

[0052] The qin badge 11 is an important part for marking the pitch of the guqin, and is generally made of shells, jade, etc. On a stone guqin, the qin badge 11 can be installed on the guqin body 1 by glue or inlay. When installing the qin badge 11, attention should be paid to the accuracy of the position and the uniformity of the spacing, so that the performer can accurately play different pitches.

[0053] Put the polished panel and bottom plate 8 together to ensure that the body 1 is tightly combined without any gaps. You can use glue or mortise and tenon structure to fix it, and then use tools such as clamps or ropes to reinforce it so that the body 1 remains stable during the drying process. Select suitable strings 3 and install them on the stone guqin according to the traditional guqin stringing method. When stringing, pay attention to the tension and pitch adjustment of the strings 3 to ensure that the pitch of each string 3 is accurate and the tone is harmonious.

[0054] After the strings are wound, the tone of the stone guqin is adjusted. The tone can be improved by adjusting the height of the yueshan 2 and the dragon gum 5, the position of the frets 11, the tension of the strings 3, etc. The adjustment process requires patience and carefulness, and constant attempts and adjustments until a satisfactory tone effect is obtained.
