There are 12 to 12 guzheng, even hundreds of thousands. You can buy according to your own budget and positioning. At present, the relatively good brands on the market are Dunhuang, Dingyun, Suzaku, Songzhumei and other different brands with certain differences.
when choosing a guzheng, don't buy less than 3, or 4, sets. Guzheng wood is everything. The model number is just the code of the color. Many guzheng professionals like the bare piano, that is, the piano without any patterns, which is more convenient to play when tapping. The production process of guzheng requires high requirements, the quality of raw materials is good, and the production time is long. It takes at least one and a half months to complete a guzheng. Think about these material costs and labor costs. A good guzheng can't be that cheap. However, some cheap guzheng on the market are far from sound quality, and may run away before playing the sound.
first of all, you should give yourself a position when choosing a guzheng. If you are a beginner, you'd better choose a big brand when your ears haven't reached a high-level ability to distinguish timbre. Big brand timbre is helpful to distinguish timbre. For example, Dunhuang in Shanghai, Dingyun in Shanghai, Crescent in Shanghai and Dongyun in Xi 'an. Dunhuang is a very famous brand in the field of guzheng, and its price is a little expensive. Dunhuang has been making guzheng for decades. The timbre of Dunhuang Guzheng is crisp and bright, and the tension is also great. Dingyun is also a brand in Shanghai with stable timbre. Crescent Guzheng is a hand-made brand, and all the zither codes made by it are made of ebony, which has good sound guiding effect, delicate timbre and relatively soft strings. Xi 'an Dongyun Guzheng was founded by Mr. Zhai Lao. Dongyun Guzheng made some improvements on the traditional technique of digging tung. For example, we changed the radian and thickness of the panel and the size of the sound slot to avoid the shortage of high notes in the original Xi 'an Guzheng, and also used star-shaped sound holes on the bottom plate. The timbre of Xi 'an Guzheng improved by Jin State is ethereal and transparent. Of course, there are many other brands, you can consult relevant professionals and then buy according to your own budget and positioning.
