Dunhuang 696D ‘Duo Cranes Facing the Sun’ African Sandalwood Guzheng

Tonality of Guzheng

• Highs are pronounced and clear as compared to Dunhuang Guzhengs in our Entry Series.
• Mids are smooth and clean, a good upgrade from the Dunhuang Guzhengs in our Entry Series
• Bass is tight and precise, for musicians who prefer a deeper bass, the Dunhuang Guzhengs in our Deluxe series would have a stronger and more resonant bass.
• One of the defining characteristics of this Guzheng is its even tones throughout the instrument.

Who is this Guzheng For

• Popular with students who are learning the guzheng for grading examinations, as well as a common choice of guzheng in guzheng ensembles. It is a great bang for the buck guzheng which would take you from a beginner level all the way to playing complex pieces without breaking the bank.
• Musicians who prefer playing traditional pieces, it has a bright and crisp tone, inversely if you enjoy playing covers of soundtracks and pop music, you could consider guzhengs made by ZhongHao.
• Musicians who prioritise clarity and precision, however if you prefer a guzheng with a warm and deep tone, you could consider Zhuque Guzhengs

What makes this Guzheng amazing

• The frame of the instrument is made from African Sandalwood, a durable and visually appealing wood. The frame is adorned with wood carving in the famous Duo Crane Facing the Sun design, adding a touch of artistic beauty to the instrument.
• Dunhuang A Type A strings which are softer on the touch as compared to type B strings.
• The bridges of this Guzheng are professional grade rosewood bridges, ensuring optimal sound quality and performance.
• The top and bottom of the soundboards are both made from paulownia that has been dried using a special Shanghai method, resulting in the classical sweet tone that the Guzheng is known for.
