Stuck tuning peg

[voidmasamune]

Greetings, I just purchased a Guqin and got it to ship from China - I ran into a problem, while tuning 2 of the tuning pegs are pretty stuck - very difficult to move even inch into the right direction, or any direction really
..Perhaps it has something to do with expanding wood and shipping, I'm not sure.
I got the other strings to tune with little problems other than they're all kinda difficult to move

What do?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum voidmasamune. Sorry to hear about the trouble with your guqin. There is not much traffic here on the guqin, but there is a highly active guqin group on Facebook. Maybe you can find some help there. If not, you might take your guqin to a music store that services instruments, such as guitar or violin. Luthiers who are experienced with wood and especially pegs like on a violin or cello should know what to do.

You also might check with the vendor that sold you the guqin.

Best wishes,

David
