If you want to play a good tune, a guzheng with a good tone is a must. If it affects the interest in learning the piano or takes more detours, and eventually leads to no motivation to continue learning, it is really worth the loss. Next, I will show you how to choose the guzheng that suits you.

How to choose a guzheng?

① When choosing a guzheng, you still need to listen to the timbre. A qin with a good timbre must have a pure and soft treble, a full, deep and powerful bass, and a subtle and focused pronunciation. Specific to each string and each area should be clear: the treble is soft and song-like, the midrange is elegant and the bass is deep and deep. This kind of piano sound sounds round, beautiful, without any noise.

②Choose a well-known brand. The brand is really very important. If you choose the right brand, you don’t have to worry about the above problems. There is still a certain reason to trust the brand - the big brand has a good tone, good intonation, and after-sales guarantee! Good brands include Dachang Qin Dunhuang, handmade zither crescent moon and so on.

Buying a brand may have different sound styles, but there is no absolute good or bad. Some people like crisp sounds, some people like sweet and soft sounds, and some people like thick sounds. For example, Dunhuang Guzheng has always had a crisp tone. Beginners know the classic style of 694kk, a classic that most people admire. The Crescent Moon Guzheng is a handmade zither with delicate sound, not output. Many beginners love the Crescent Moon 05 Morning Glory.

③ After choosing the tone and brand you like, put the high, medium and low grades of this brand together, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the high, medium and low range of different grades of guzheng, and whether the tone is too natural, etc , and finally choose the grade that suits you.

④Choose the appearance of wood, color, workmanship, decoration and so on.

⑤ Visit musical instrument stores with a long history, good reputation and clearly marked prices. These stores have fixed purchase channels, and they are less likely to mess with low-quality products from small factories.
