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
- Carries the classic Dunhuang tone that is familiar to all Guzheng lovers.
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
- This Guzheng sits in between the middle of the Dunhuang guzheng range with the outer frame using a light coloured Bubinga Rosewood to distinguish itself from its more entry model 696/689 range which uses a reddish rosewood frame. It has crisp highs, clear mid range, and a firmer bass than it’s more budget friendly, 696/689
- High quality Type B strings which have a German steel core (VS 696 and 689)
- The bridges are of a denser Suanzhi Rosewood which contributes to its improvement in tone over the 696 and 689 series.
- The well-seasoned Paulownia front and back soundboards are a clear step up in quality from the entry level 696/ 689 series, resulting in the classic Dunhuang tone that we are familiar with.
