Beautiful aesthetics and sound
As an adult beginner, I wanted something that looked professional but wasn't too expensive. This model fits perfectly. The lacquer finish is smooth, and the sound projection is impressive for a practice instrument.

Official store reliability
Bought this directly from the official store to ensure authenticity. The certificate of authenticity was included, and the instrument plays beautifully. Highly recommend for anyone starting their journey with the Guzheng.

Solid choice for students
My daughter uses this for her weekly lessons, and her teacher approved of the tone quality immediately. The bridges are sturdy, and the case provided offers good protection during transport.

Great quality solid wood
The craftsmanship on this solid wood Guzheng is excellent. The tone is warm and suitable for traditional pieces. I deducted one star only because the initial tuning took some time, but that is expected with new strings.

Perfect for my first Guzheng
I was nervous about buying an instrument online, but this Dunhuang 696D exceeded my expectations. The sound is crisp and resonant, and the 'Double Cranes' artwork is stunning in person. It arrived well-packaged and ready to tune.

Exceeded expectations
The depth of sound from this solid wood body is remarkable. The 'Double Cranes' design adds a touch of elegance to my music room. Setup was straightforward, and it holds tuning very well after the first week.
Q: What is the difference between the 696D and the 694 models?
A: The 696D is designed specifically as an entry-to-intermediate level instrument with a focus on ease of play and durability for students. The 694 series often features more intricate inlay work and is targeted towards advanced performers.
Q: Does this come with a hard case or a soft bag?
A: The Dunhuang 696D typically comes with a high-quality padded soft case that offers excellent protection for daily use and travel. A hard case can be purchased separately if needed.
Q: How long is the warranty period?
A: When purchased from the Dunhuang Official Store, this instrument includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Is this Guzheng pre-tuned when it arrives?
A: The instrument is tuned at the factory before shipping, but due to changes in temperature and humidity during transit, we recommend re-tuning it upon arrival using the included tuning wrench.
Q: Can adults with larger hands play this comfortably?
A: Yes, the 696D has standard string spacing suitable for both children and adults. Many adult beginners find the neck profile and string tension very comfortable for extended practice sessions.
