Yes you can absolutely do that! However, it is still advisable to find out why the tuning pin was detached. Few things to take note of would be whether the pins are loose (i.e has the wood widened, or whether the thread lines on the pin was worn off etc)
Any clues about inserting the high strings (e.g.#2) at the back? the opening on my guzheng is small, even for my small hand. I cannot get the string through the hole in the back.
yep im having a hard time with the "self looping" tieoff bit at the pegs, im sure im not getting it right because the string has a bunch if loose slack just ticking around, ill keep trying - also my peg came pretty far out quickly, i think ive gotten it back in to where it should be i hope that wont be a problem
Cristal Tan hi there! We are definitely looking into it, this is definitely a tough one to tackle, due to the many factors that we need to take note of.
I live in the hot dry climate of Southern California. When I replace a string, as in the #2 string, should I gradually (as in over 2 - 3 days) bring it up to pitch? If I bring it up to pitch right away, is it likely to snap again?
Jair Rodriguez we tried it out on our 80cm++ travel guzheng, it works for the first 10 bridges or so, beyond that we just had to make adjustments. Just have make sure you keep the first 3 briges ( Do Re Mi) close, leave a gap between Mi and Sol, and keep the Sol and La bridges close. Dont hesitate to ask more questions if the description we gave you wasn’t clear.

Thank you for this, this helped me wrap my head around the proper way to thread the string through the pins. Excellent videos!
Thanks Dylan! Glad it helped!
I use Alice Strings which are Silk & Steel Strings.
hmm my guzheng has no hole at the back and both ends of the string are fixed to the side.. how? also my guzheng has 18 strings only
thank you ive been looking for a video on this, im probably going to switch to diatonic soon
thANKYOU!
Thank you for viewing the video too :)
If the whole tuning pin come out, can I remove the string n screw the pin back?

Drop a string through the hole from the other side and tie it to the #2 string. Then pull it up carefully through the hole.
Thanks so much! Easy as pie!!

Hi! We think it should be fine. Just tune it up slowly when you are tuning. :)
Related to the measures, what about a travel size guzheng? Mine is 125 cm long

Changing pipa strings is easier.......
