Exceeded expectations for exam prep

Bought this for my daughter's grade 6 exam preparation. Her teacher was impressed by the tonal quality. It holds tuning very well even after hours of practice.

Solid choice for intermediates

Very happy with this purchase. The bag provided is padded well enough for local transport. The only reason for 4 stars is that the strings were a bit stiff initially, but they loosened up after playing.

Perfect for travel and practice

I needed a smaller guzheng for my apartment and trips to visit family. This one-meter model sounds surprisingly full for its size. The carving is exquisite and feels very sturdy.

Beautiful craftsmanship

The Ruyi carving on the headstock is stunning. It looks even better in person than in the photos. The sound is bright and crisp, ideal for solo performances.

Great tone, minor setup needed

The wood quality is excellent and the resonance is clear. I had to adjust the bridges slightly out of the box to get the intonation perfect, but that is normal. Highly recommend for students.

Professional quality in a small package

As a performer, I was skeptical about a one-meter instrument, but Qinyin proved me wrong. The projection is strong enough for small venues, and it fits easily in overhead compartments.

5 FAQ

Q: Are replacement strings standard size for a 21-string guzheng?

A: Yes, this instrument uses standard 21-string guzheng string sets. You can use any brand of replacement strings designed for full-size or compact 21-string models.

Q: Does this come with a hard case or just a soft bag?

A: This model comes with a high-quality padded soft carrying bag with shoulder straps. A hard case can be purchased separately if needed for air travel.

Q: Is the wood treated to prevent cracking in dry climates?

A: Yes, the solid paulownia wood is seasoned and treated with a protective lacquer finish to help maintain stability in varying humidity levels. We still recommend using a humidifier in extremely dry environments.

Q: Can beginners use this, or is it strictly for advanced players?

A: While marketed as 'Professional Grade,' beginners can certainly use this instrument. The action is comfortable, and the tone encourages good technique. However, due to the price point, many start with our entry-level series.

Q: What is the exact width of the instrument?

A: The width at the widest point is approximately 16.5 cm (6.5 inches), making it very ergonomic for players with smaller hands or for tight stage setups.
