When choosing a guzheng, if you have a clear understanding of your own use of the zheng, and have a little more knowledge of the guzheng, it is easy to choose the most suitable guzheng for you.

For us adults, learning guzheng is more of a pure hobby. We don’t want to take the grade test, nor do we consider the professional direction, as long as we can play some songs for self-pleasure. And usually no matter what kind of guzheng you choose, one guzheng has been used all the time, and there are still a few people who change the zither twice.

In fact, adults who buy guzheng have more choices. Guzheng from well-known brands with different timbre characteristics and characteristics can be selected at will according to your preferences.

Tips for adults to choose a zither

First of all, it must be clear that the guzheng is a musical instrument, and the sound quality is its soul. Try to choose from well-known brands with guaranteed quality.

Each of these well-known brands of guzheng has its own characteristics. Dunhuang guzheng has a bright and crisp tone, good explosive penetrating power, slightly hard hand feel, outstanding expressiveness in fast-paced repertoire, and slightly thin tone when playing traditional repertoire (high-end zheng will be better).

Suzaku guzheng has a thick tone, strong resonance and moderate hand feel.

The Longfeng Guzheng has a mellow tone, a long aftertaste and a soft feel. Suzaku and Longfeng play traditional repertoires with strong charm, but the effect of playing fast-paced repertoires is slightly worse.

Shensheng Guzheng is between Dunhuang and Longfeng. The tone is bright, it should be round and mellow, the hand feel is moderate, and the expressiveness of different types of songs is relatively balanced.

Adults choose the model of the kite

If you choose an entry-level zheng, Dunhuang 696D Shuanghe Chaoyang is more suitable; if you improve it a little bit, then Dunhuang 694DQ Shuanghe Chaoyang and Shensheng 728HX have a strong floral fragrance; the mid-end zheng is a more suitable grade for adult beginners, such as Dunhuang 694KK Banana window night language, 694LC-C auspicious clouds, Shensheng 837YC Lotus; if the sound quality requirements are relatively high and the budget is relatively large, choose Dunhuang 698 series or Shensheng 877 series models.

As far as the situation of adults learning guzheng is concerned, among the well-known brands, Shanghai Shensheng is more recommended by Lezhong. Its moderate feel and the characteristics of not picking songs, this kind of better comprehensive performance will be more suitable for adults to use the zheng.

When adults choose zheng, in the final analysis, personal preference for guzheng tone is very important, as long as it is pleasant to listen to and look like.

finally

It is usually not recommended that you buy too low-end guzheng, and I hope you stay away from those low-quality zithers. But then again, if we adults really like guzheng, but our budget is really limited, a bad guzheng is better than nothing. As the saying goes, as long as you like it, everything is not a problem!
