Great upgrade from beginner model

I upgraded from a generic brand to this Dunhuang 694DQ and the difference is night and day. The responsiveness of the strings allows for much faster technique execution. Worth every penny.

Perfect for my daughter's exams

We bought this for our daughter who is preparing for her grade 8 examination. The tone is incredibly clear and resonant. The 'Double Cranes' artwork is stunning in person. Highly recommended for serious students.

Authentic Dunhuang quality

As a long-time player, I can confirm this is an authentic Dunhuang instrument. The 694DQ model offers excellent projection and sustain. The setup out of the box was perfect, requiring minimal tuning stabilization.

Solid performance instrument

Used this for a recent recital and it performed beautifully under stage lights. The tuning stability held up well throughout the concert. Just ensure you let it acclimate to the room temperature before playing.

Beautiful instrument, heavy case

The guzheng itself is flawless with a rich, warm sound. The only minor downside is that the complete standard set case is quite heavy to carry around, but that speaks to the protective quality of the packaging.

Exquisite craftsmanship

The inlay work on the 'Double Cranes Facing the Sun' design is meticulous. It looks like a piece of art in my living room. Sound-wise, it balances brightness and depth perfectly for classical repertoire.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the 694DQ and the 696D mentioned in the title?

A: The 694DQ is the specific model featuring the 'Double Cranes' design. The mention of 696D refers to the performance tier standard; this set meets the quality expectations of that higher performance category while offering the 694DQ aesthetic.

A: Absolutely. The 694DQ model is specifically designed to meet the requirements for professional conservatory entrance exams and higher-grade certifications.

Q: How long does it take for the strings to stabilize after unboxing?

A: Typically, new Dunhuang guzheng strings require 3 to 7 days of regular tuning to fully stabilize. This is normal for high-tension steel-nylon strings.

Q: Can this be shipped internationally?

A: Yes, we ship internationally. Please note that due to the size and fragility of the instrument, specialized wooden crate packaging is used, which may affect final shipping costs at checkout.

Q: Does this set include a stand and tuning wrench?
