Great instrument, heavy case

The Guzheng itself is a 5-star product with beautiful tone quality. I only gave 4 stars because the hard case is quite heavy to carry around for lessons, but it offers excellent protection.

Beautiful but needs setup

The instrument is gorgeous and sounds potential is huge. It needed a slight bridge adjustment upon arrival to optimize the tone, but once set up, it performs beautifully for recitals.

Perfect for my daughter's exams

We purchased the 694DQ model for our daughter's grade 5 exam. The tone is bright and clear, exactly what her teacher recommended. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and it arrived perfectly tuned.

Upgrade from my student model

I upgraded to the 694KK Banana Window model and the difference is night and day. The bass notes are much deeper and the sustain is longer. Highly recommend for intermediate players.

Stunning visuals and sound

The 'Morning Sun' inlay on the 694DQ is breathtaking in person. Beyond the looks, the resonance is incredible. It projects well in our living room without sounding harsh.

Authentic Dunhuang quality

Verified authentic via the serial number. The wood grain is tight and the finish is smooth. It holds tuning very well even with changes in humidity. A joy to play every day.
