Judging whether the piano is a fake Ouqin can be identified from the following aspects:
(1) Appearance: A real European piano requires very high paint. No matter from which angle, there will be no obvious ups and downs or faults, and everything around can be clearly and completely reflected. However, the lacquer surface of inferior shanzhai Qin has obvious faults, which can't truly reflect the surrounding things.
(2) Trademark logo: The logo of the famous European piano has been passed down for more than 100 years, with exquisite shape and structure and neat letters; The logo of the inferior piano in the cottage was improvised by a small factory. Often this brand is posted, and the next brand is posted. So sometimes the letters of the logo are not in a straight line and lack integrity.
(3) Handfeel: If you play a good piano, the keyboard will bounce up smoothly, the resistance of the keys to the left and right friction is very small, the action will be clean and stable, and your fingers will feel sucked in by the keyboard; When the inferior piano is played, it will obviously feel the friction resistance, and the fingers will not feel the inhalation. In addition, the buttons and corners of inferior shanzhai machines are often rough, which will make you feel uncomfortable when you touch your finger skin.
(4) Tone: A good European piano will not be too bright or too dark, but it will sound clear, clean and flat. The timbre of inferior shanzhai piano will be very pale or too dull, and the aftersound will be scattered and unclean.
(5) Stability: Due to the unification of standards and production scale, the real European piano has obvious unity in feel and timbre regardless of the size and model of the same brand; Because different styles of brand shanzhai pianos are customized by different manufacturers, the timbre and feel of each style piano are completely different. Even pianos of the same style and model produced in different periods have different timbre and feel. Because even the same piano, he may have changed manufacturers, so the sound quality is completely different.
(6) Online promotion: The advantage of shanzhai Qin over authentic Europiano lies in online promotion. Because the operator has no production line, all the energy is spent on advertising hype. Among them, the simplest and cheapest way to induce consumers is to conduct online publicity. These so-called "famous European pianos" often have gimmicky websites, which throw out a lot of discussion topics related to their brands in major forums, and then use different user names for positive discussion and evaluation, forming the illusion of "famous brands" and "rave reviews". In fact, there should be a record number of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology at the bottom of official website. Some well-known "Deutschland" foreign language websites are called German company websites. You only need to check their record numbers on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to know that these websites are registered in China.
