Finally some success for me with 浏阳河. I broke it down to 3 parts
a) the start and end seems to be repetition wit minor changes
b) the two handed part
c) the raindrops arpeggio.

Now I can finally do all 3 parts with 90% quality but doing the entire thing is a bit of a stumbling block. Anyway it is better than starting out on the two handed part. I cant believe this piece took more than two years already and still stumbling on it.

yo! im new here i want to learn guzheng is there any place offer this lesson in around USJ?

does knowing piano+guitar gives one advantage in learning guzheng?

and how much does a "mid-range" guzheng cost ?

Yes...of course. Piano is the foundation of all musical instruments as each hand is independant...so you train your co-ordination skill on a solid foundation.

As for the mid range gz cost....read all the other earlier pages ion this thread. No point repeating again and again common questions like this.

Hi all.. I m new at guzheng.. Will start my class next week..
The music center recommended me a guzheng by dunhuang.. Rm1800.. I ask them for code and stuff but they don't have it.. Only inform me is made of white wood.. And is for beginner..

Any advice.. Thanks

For a beginner...Rm1800 is too much! Buy this instead:

Hey empire thanks for the recommendation.. I m looking for a long term reliable guzheng.. Mayb can play till grade 3-4 ..,

You are welcome. You can use that budget Guzheng until grade 5 also no problem.

I will be learning gz by myself in the US. Does anyone know where can I buy gz at there ? I've asked many people about it but no one knows the answer lol.

white wood dunhuang is a bit steep but the price for GZ increased tremendously last 2 yrs due
to shortage of wood and living cost in China.

and u paying premium too for the Dunhuang brand which also a very reliable brand.
Honestly if I were you.. i will dig deeper and empty my pockets for a slightly better one than
a white wood.... at least a normal red wood else you will regret it before you reach G4.

2yrs ago I paid US$2,900 including freight by AIR to Malaysia an elite model guzheng now it cost
US$3,200/= excluding postage.
In addition I paid RM2.6+ => US$1 and now is about RM3.0+ per USD.

The price for Zheng will increase again soon as now its a lifestyle item for the PRC families.

can only used to decorate CAFE or auction after another 30yrs if there is another GZ freak collector.

Added on May 30, 2012, 9:42 pmwhere about are u in States?

u can get the Zheng from http://www.soundofasia.com/ call the owner Carol and she is more than happy to
help you.

mention your info is via the owner of the Scarlet Bird #10B; she will knows is from me.

In fact I FedEX one Zheng from her 2yrs ago; California to KampungKUL instead of from PRC.

P/S: Ur a very lucky person tonite as I answered quires eventhough the 'magic' words missing.
Try to be abit courtesy when requesting ... since u r in States try to use these words "please and thank you"
as often as you may and let them know we kampung ppl got culture and moral. Not JAKUNS.
