The length of the long guzheng is 163cm, and the length of the short guzheng is more, from the common ones are 08m, 1m, 1.2m, 1.25m, 1.28m, 1.3m, 1.35m, generally 120cm is the common standard.
Due to the different lengths of the guzheng, the small guzheng is smaller in size, light in weight and easy to carry, but because of its short length, the timbre of the guzheng is difficult to guarantee, mainly because the impression and resonance of the guzheng cannot meet the requirements of the standard guzheng. When choosing a portable guzheng in daily life, the length of the guzheng should not be less than one meter.
When the guzheng reaches a certain length, the panel is easier to vibrate and transmit sound, and the sound is easier to achieve resonance effect.
In addition to the length of the guzheng, the width of the guzheng and the thickness of the panel are slightly different due to the different brands and technical standards of the guzheng.
Most guzheng is a folded zither, and the internal structure needs the support of the guzheng stand, so the thickness of the guzheng is relatively large.
For children or beginners, you can choose a small guzheng, but if you have high requirements on sound quality, it is generally better to choose a large guzheng, and the effect of the resonance of the small guzheng may be somewhat different.
The distance between the strings is the same as the standard guzheng, otherwise it will affect the feel of the right hand.
The height requirements of the small guzheng yards are the same as the height of the big guzheng, so that you can press enough pitch.
