Great product, small learning curve

The adhesive quality is excellent and holds very well against humidity changes. It took me two tries to get the application amount right, as too much can dull the sound slightly. Once mastered, it is a fantastic maintenance tool.

Traditional formula, modern convenience

Love that this uses traditional ingredients like fish bladder collagen but comes in a ready-to-use jar with a fine brush. No need to cook the glue myself anymore. The silk strings feel smooth and protected.

Perfect for extending string life

I have been playing the Guqin for over a decade, and fraying at the bridge is always an issue. This Bletilla and fish blend glue works wonders. It seals the fibers without making the string stiff or affecting the tone. Highly recommended for serious players.

Good value for money

A little goes a long way. One jar has lasted me six months of regular maintenance. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cap can be a bit tight to open sometimes, but the product inside is top-notch.

Essential for humid climates

Living in a tropical area, my strings degrade quickly. This upgraded formula provides a protective barrier that significantly slows down wear and tear. The natural scent is also very pleasant compared to synthetic glues.

Saved my expensive strings

My high-end silk strings started unraveling after just a month. Applied this solution carefully, let it dry overnight, and they are good as new. The bond is strong yet flexible enough for bending notes.

5 FAQ

Q: How long should I wait before playing after application?

A: We recommend waiting at least 30 minutes for the surface to dry, but for optimal bonding strength, please allow 2 to 3 hours before tuning and playing the instrument.

Q: What is the best way to store the remaining glue?

A: Please ensure the lid is tightly sealed and store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid freezing temperatures to maintain the consistency of the Bletilla and fish blend.

Q: Can this glue be used on nylon-core silk strings?

A: Yes, this adhesive is formulated to work effectively on both traditional twisted silk strings and modern nylon-core silk strings commonly used on Guqins.

Q: Does the glue change the pitch or timbre of the string?

A: When applied correctly in thin layers, the glue adds negligible mass and does not alter the pitch or timbre. Its purpose is to bind fraying fibers without dampening vibration.

Q: Is this product safe for the lacquer finish of the Guqin?

A: Absolutely. The formula is designed to adhere specifically to silk fibers. However, we advise wiping away any accidental spills on the wooden body immediately with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the lacquer's shine.
