Welcome to guzhengland.
By the way you have your own guzheng? Tell us also if you have previous music training.

Not many place in KL sells guzheng. As for Subang Area, our Subangman know a few shops that sells guzheng. If you dont mind a second hand guzheng subang maybe able to help. Just ask him nice. His is very particular about mannerism and courtesy. How much is your budget?

   details kindly refer to page 54 in tis thread. Location  Do Re Mi.@ Jalan Ipoh near Monorail station. ... Board the ERL to KL sentral... hop to Monorail towards Chow Kit Station. Get down and hunt for Do Re Mi Music store. .. less than 5min walk. .... hopefully u find it still laying in its box. else PM me.
   Budder... got another well seasoned 10yrs old above Dunhuang 898 Zitan for meimei.

....One of her sifu's favourate GZs. Deepest gratitude to him.
Now hunting for the ultimate sword for her.

Guzheng is not heavy but with the box it is very heavy. Then again carrying a guzheng for long distance its weight will wear on you.

its better to call them before paying them a visit..... as it might b taken home alridi
For their contact do google and u will find it.

R u sure u called the right store ? Its their Jalan Ipoh HQ. Ask for the chinese lady Manager (she might be the lady boss); as she is
the only person in the store who knows about tis piece of old wood.

Tell her u r my frd; the man who likes to ask for RODE shotgun T1 & T2 mic staying in Subang area and
wanted to buy the guzheng for RM700/=.

If she got amnesia then ask her directly about her church pastor's old guzheng.

Else do let me know I will call her.
called her edi, she say still got but too bad they did not do delivery

normally she will hangs the 龍鬚 during public performances with certain reasons...

anderyna :- I just called DO RE MI. 03 40419108.
                  Tat piece of old wood still laying on their mezzanine floor.
                  I've put my charm into them to call the pastor to reduce its initial price from RM1000/= to RM800/=. 
 
                  Pls ask for Vivian or Samantha and mentioned { 千金難買 'chee yum"人 } ; then they knows.   

                  All u need to do with the Gz is re-string it again and the sound should be very good.

Faceless :- Bru... u seen LaBella lately around in the forum lately ?

Convince me and you will get it for free .

Btw u still owe me a Magic word for finding u these piece of wood.

Dun like it .. go get a pacifier and a life.

Looks good with its color but seems tat it was painted by its previous owner.

G-yoke or not....it's ok as long as tasty!       

Subang....Mei2 is so busy ka?? Wa...even our PM Najis also not as busy as her wo. 

Little Ice...you are more than welcome to join us again.

Faceless....it is people like you who kept this thread going on. Keep it up! Your sense of sharp humour also is very entertaining here 

Anderyna...nice guzheng! Let's see it when we meet ok? 

I just check the nails for u.

Mei^2 got at least 30+ nails in varies sizes and thickness.

Some with grooves and some without. Some cheaplat looks alike plastic turtle nails and some real
thick one.

So i reakon at the end of the day go to the centre and choose ur own nails that fits your fingers. 
Cheaplat nails but sometime can do wonders and budget.


Good nails but when chips so will ur heart. LOL! Not easy to find exact replacement.


CLICK link. and add so tht you know more about ur instrument.

Pretty guzheng but wonder how it sounds like. 

This guy seem to be have a good range of accessories.  I had the guzheng cover like those below because I lazy to keep dusting my guzheng. Cost about RM25.

Since he had a 603 phone number he must be in Kampung Kul. When mood is right I may go check out his nails (plectrums) and maybe add some to my collection.

For something that is nail size you may have many sizes but lets keep it simple to SML (small medium large). I dont think 1 mm difference in size can make a lot of difference. Some people like small ones which is a tiny bit smaller then their fingers. Others like a little bit to jut out (medium). Yet there are people (like me) who like them to protrude out (big). Basically what your teacher mean is "get use to it". You may think 1 cm jutting out from your finger is uncomfortable but I prefer it. If it is longer its even better for me. I think even if they are as big as those which Empress Dowager wears, I will not mind giving them a try.

I have 2 sets of small nails which I bought by accident. There are too small and I never used them. I wonder if I had  misplaced them. If you really feel yours are too over size maybe we can swap (let me check to see if I can find them first). Can you put up a pic of the nails you have?

Hello all,

I want to try out gu zheng. i stay at cheras taman midah area. where is suitable place for me to get a class? I dont have any experience in any music instrument. only during pendidikan music in school i handle before recorder and clarinet.

not sure my short finger suitable for gu zheng? I dont plan to buy it yet not sure if any music center can I go just use during basic lesson. cause i not sure I am going to learn for fun or for serious... i scare i might get half hearted and abandon it after that. but after hearing a few gu zheng professional player plays it the sound makes me feel nice. Maybe the tone...is very different than normal guitar. maybe the vibration of the notes...not sure.

any male gu zhengnist here? will it be awkward if gu zheng play by male..usually is female..soft and gentle..
and i not sure if i can remember all 21 strings.

but less than piano that has 85 keys to remember.

any recommendation which center should i go nearest to start a basic gu zheng lesson? and how much will it cost? roughly is there level to master like piano got level 1 until 8..in gu zheng is there any levels?

is it having music sheets? or is it a different symbols? or is it represent using numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 ~ 21 in the music sheet?
