For beginners, it is not particularly expensive to choose a model, and it is enough to practice and use it on a daily basis. If you want to test grades or play, it is necessary to choose a zheng that can be done in one step.
If the economic conditions are limited, you can choose Dunhuang 696D, Dunhuang 694DQ, Dunhuang 694KK, etc. The prices of these zithers are not very high and they are suitable for practice. There is no problem with KK grading or playing.
It is generally recommended to buy Dunhuang guzheng 694LC-C auspicious clouds or Dunhuang guzheng 694FFW lotus fragrance. It is not very expensive and belongs to the middle-end zheng, but the price is very high.At present, the Taiwanese guzheng that I prefer is not only fresh and refined in design, elegant in tone, but also has a service life of a hundred years. Although time passes, the more you play, the more charming the sound is, and its characteristics are similar to the guqin. I have always paid attention to and preferred Caile digging zheng not only because of its unique appearance and outstanding sound quality, but also because of the spirituality of digging zheng.
The whole piece of paulownia is dug inside and planed outside, so that the pores of the board will not be deformed by extrusion; the stability is high, and the musical life and service life are long.
Internal adjustment of resonance: There is no sound beam in the speaker, no sound zone interval, so that the sound is seamless, and the high and low are over-balanced.
Due to the lack of technology in general digging zither, the tone will be dull, but the real digging zither is just the opposite, the tone is not only bright and pleasant, but also full of charm!
The guzheng box is compressed, the volume will be transmitted from the speaker quickly, and it will not be stuffy inside for a long time; the zither code is hand-polished, and the angle of each zither code embedded in the soundboard is manually adjusted, so there will be no code skipping phenomenon.
Shensheng guzheng also has independent and unique guzheng characteristics, which makes the high-pitched area of Shensheng guzheng bright but not sharp, the mid-range is full and round, the low-frequency area is mellow and rich in flavor, and the sound area is over-balanced and sound control is good. The sound is clear and clean, with strong graininess. It's not hard or soft to the touch, it's more moderate. The ones most chosen by beginners are "728HX Flowery Fragrance", "728XS Plum Blossom", "837YC Yichu Lotus" and so on. Then there are the mid-to-high-end 877 series, such as "877JX Auspicious Continuous", "877QY Qiuyuechunhua" and so on.
At present, if you are looking for a better guzheng, the recommendation is the Dunhuang guzheng, the Shensheng guzheng, and the slightly more economical choice for digging the music in the zither. In addition, if you prefer guzheng with a more mellow tone, you can choose Zhenghe guzheng from Yangzhou.
