Upgrade from student model

Moving from a beginner bamboo guzheng to this rosewood 694L was a game changer. The dynamic range allows for much more expressive playing. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for grading exams.

Great sound, heavy case

The zither itself is fantastic with a deep, warm tone that improves the more I play it. My only minor complaint is that the hard case is quite heavy to carry around for long distances, but it offers great protection.

Professional quality

Bought this for my daughter who is advancing rapidly in her lessons. Her teacher was very impressed with the build quality and tonal clarity. Setup was easy, though I recommend letting it acclimate to room temperature before tuning.

Beautiful tone and finish

I chose the Lotus Pond design and it looks even better in person. The lacquer finish is smooth and the wood grain is beautiful. The sound is balanced across all registers, making complex pieces easier to execute.

Stunning craftsmanship

The inlay work on the 'Five Colors Auspicious Peony' model is breathtaking. Beyond aesthetics, the sound projection is excellent for stage performances. This is a genuine professional instrument worthy of the Dunhuang reputation.

Perfect for my conservatory audition

I purchased the 'Moonlight Over Lotus Pond' edition for my final exam. The rosewood body provides incredible resonance, and the high notes are crystal clear without being shrill. It arrived perfectly tuned and stayed that way through weeks of intense practice.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the 694L and 694LC models?

A: The primary difference lies in the decorative artwork and slight variations in the wood grain selection. Both models share the same professional rosewood construction, dimensions, and acoustic properties suitable for exams and performances.

Q: How often does the rosewood body require maintenance?

A: Rosewood is durable but benefits from occasional polishing with a dry, soft cloth to maintain its luster. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity changes to prevent cracking.

Q: Is this suitable for a complete beginner?

A: While a beginner can certainly use this instrument, it is priced and engineered for advanced students and professionals. Beginners might find a more affordable student model sufficient until they develop their technique.

Q: Does this come with a stand and picks?

A: Yes, the package includes a pair of adjustable wooden stands, a set of standard picks (jiazi) in various thicknesses, a tuning wrench, and a protective padded soft case.

Q: Can this be used for recording studio work?

A: Absolutely. The 694L series is favored by recording artists for its clear attack, rich sustain, and lack of unwanted overtones, making it ideal for both live performance and studio recording.
