Great bundle for starting out
Bought this set for my daughter who is just beginning. The 696D is very forgiving for beginners, and the included stands and case make it a complete package. Highly recommended.

Excellent sound, heavy delivery
The instrument itself is fantastic with rich overtones. Just be aware that the packaging is very heavy due to the solid wood construction. Worth the effort to unpack though!

Stunning craftsmanship and beautiful tone
The 694DQ Double Crane model is absolutely breathtaking in person. The sunrise gradient and crane details are exquisite. The sound is warm and resonant, perfect for my daily practice sessions.

Beautiful instrument, minor setup needed
The guzheng arrived well-protected. It needed a slight tuning adjustment upon arrival, which is normal for wooden instruments traveling long distances. Once tuned, it sounds magnificent.

Authentic Dunhuang quality
As an intermediate player, I can confirm this is genuine Dunhuang quality. The tuning stability is impressive right out of the box. The 694DQ looks like a piece of art in my living room.

Perfect upgrade from my student model
I upgraded to the 694DQ and the difference in projection and clarity is night and day. The double crane design adds such elegance. Very happy with this purchase.
Q: What is the difference between the 694DQ and the 696D in this bundle?
A: The 694DQ features the premium 'Double Crane' artistic design and is often preferred for performance due to its rich resonance. The 696D is a classic standard model known for its balanced tone, making it excellent for practice or a second instrument.
Q: Does this set come with a hard case for both instruments?
A: Yes, the package includes durable padded cases designed to fit both the 694DQ and 696D models securely for transport and storage.
Q: Do I need to buy extra strings immediately?
A: No, the instruments come pre-strung with high-quality strings ready to play. We recommend keeping a spare set on hand for future maintenance, but they are not required immediately.
Q: Are the stands adjustable for different seating heights?
A: Absolutely. The included wooden stands are fully adjustable in height and angle to accommodate players of various sizes and playing styles.
Q: Is there an instruction manual included for beginners?
A: Yes, a basic user guide covering setup, tuning, and care instructions is included. However, we also provide digital access to beginner video tutorials via our support portal.
