First of all, the timbre of Guqin is soft, deep, delicate and ethereal. This is because guqin is played by plucking, and the sound is produced by the vibration effect produced by pressing the strings with your fingers, rather than blowing through wind instruments or vibrating reeds like stringed instruments.

Therefore, the sound of guqin is softer, and its influence more strongly reflects the emotion and expression intention of the performer. Secondly, Guqin timbre also has the characteristics of slow sound development and long duration.

The vibration effect of guqin's body and strings makes the timbre change slowly, unlike some music equipment and special effects equipment, which can achieve fast and sharp sound effects. Therefore, the performance of guqin requires the player to deal with each note patiently, give full play to the greatest charm of the notes, and then express his feelings and intentions.

Finally, the timbre of guqin is also related to the timbre and material selection of guqin itself.
