    We are proud to introduce the Sound of China Guzheng Series. This model is Sound of China guzheng's professional travel-size model.  All the making materials including soundboards, frames, strings and bridges are carefully selected by Sound of China professionals.

Both top and bottom sound boards are made by a single piece of paulownia that has been air-dried for at least one year.   The bridges are made of blackwood with buffalo bone saddles. The strings are made of German steel that are of professional quality yet soft enough for beginners to learn bending.
    This instrument is our basic model that sounds clean with resonant bass.
    Excellent quality and craftmanship in a budget price.

    Guzheng Size Reference:
    Under 100cm(<40") : Toy replica
    Please be aware that anything under 100cm is generally not playable!!!  There is no volume.  All strings sound flat, and the strings spacing are really small for your fingers.  It's more of a novelty item than an actually instrument.
    100cm -125cm (40-49") :  Baby Guzheng
    This is is made for kids who have smaller hands.  The sound is ok.  The bass is flat because the bass strings don't have the desired length to keep the pitch steady.  The string spacing is small for an adult, but perfect for
    4-6 year old
    kids to start learning.
    125cm-155cm (50-61") :  Travel Guzheng
    This size is made for convenient traveling.  The sound varys from different makers.  A good one can sound as good as a standard size, but a bad one sounds just like a baby guzheng.  The string spacing also varys.  Some makers make them smaller, and some makers make them just like the standard ones.
    160cm+ (>61") :  Standard Guzheng
    This is the standard size for guzheng.  All the strings have the desired lengh to keep the pitch in tune.  String spacing is standard for adult's figners.  Sound quality varys on different models and different makers.
