oh it's a "travel size" guzheng, it's about a foot smaller than a full size one, so maybe? sorry for the late reply

Your welcome! I've got a question about your instrument. Is it just me, or is the Guzheng tuned an octave lower than the standard tuning? Usually these instruments are tuned from D2 to D6, while yours is tuned an octave lower from D1 to D5.

Bowing the Guzheng in the low register makes it sound almost like a Double Bass. Also in the high register, it could almost sound like a bunch of Erhus. Nice work!
