Perfect for my daughter's first exam

We bought this for our 8-year-old who is starting her music journey. The sound is clear and bright, exactly what her teacher recommended for the entry-level exam. The rosewood feels sturdy and high-quality.

Exceeded expectations

I was worried about buying an instrument online, but the official flagship store delivered a flawless product. The finish is smooth, no sharp frets, and the tone is warm yet articulate. A joy to play.

Great value official store product

Authentic Dunhuang quality at a reasonable price. The setup was easy, and it arrived well-packaged. I deducted one star only because the included picks were a bit thin for my preference, but the instrument itself is excellent.

Beautiful tone and craftsmanship

As an adult beginner, I wanted something that wouldn't need upgrading soon. This model strikes a perfect balance. The rosewood grain is gorgeous, and the tuning stability is impressive right out of the box.

Highly recommended for students

My instructor specifically asked for the Dunhuang 597 series for grading purposes. This set includes everything needed to start playing immediately. The case is also very protective for travel to lessons.

Solid beginner instrument

Very happy with this purchase. The sound projection is good for practice at home. It took a day for the strings to settle, but now it holds tune very well. Great choice for anyone starting the Pipa.
