音色、弦数、演奏方式、入门曲线逐项对比Compared point by point: tone, strings, technique, learning curve
想把弹琴当作安静的独处、重视余韵和内敛的音色，选古琴；想更快弹出完整旋律、喜欢明亮音色和表现力、也考虑合奏，选古筝。两者都是七声体系的传统乐器，入门都不需要乐理基础。Choose guqin if you want playing as quiet time alone, valuing resonance and a restrained tone. Choose guzheng if you want to play complete melodies sooner, enjoy a brighter, more expressive sound, and may want to play with others. Neither requires prior music theory to start.

古琴课目前为预约制：留下邮箱，开课通知会发给你。课程内容为传统文化教学，不构成任何专业建议。Guqin classes are currently by reservation: leave your email and you will be notified when enrolment opens. This is traditional cultural teaching, not professional advice.
可以。古琴课用减字谱与简谱对照的方式教学，从识琴调弦开始，不需要先学乐理。Yes. The guqin course teaches with notation shown alongside numbered notation, starting from tuning — no theory needed first.
不需要。课程附《选琴指南》，前几节在识琴和指法上，可以先学再决定买什么琴。No. The course includes a buying guide, and the first lessons cover the instrument and fingering — you can decide on a purchase later.
