Dingyun Guzheng and Dunhuang Guzheng have a lot of origins, the founder of Dingyun Tang Zhengjun has studied under Mr. Xu Zhengao, his zheng-making technology is perfect, during the work in Shanghai National Musical Instrument Factory has won the zither championship for several consecutive years, and is known as "Zheng-making ghost" by industry insiders. Later, he founded Dingyun brand guzheng, which was quickly welcomed because of its excellent quality.
Dingyun and Dunhuang master out of the same door, in the production process is more similar, is also the use of folding plate production. But Ding Yun also made its own improvements on the basis of inheritance, the timbre of Dunhuang Guzheng is high-pitched and bright, crisp and pleasant, but its timbre in the bass area is weak. Tang Zhengjun has undergone a series of improvements, and the thickness of the panel has been slightly changed, which weakens the brightness of the treble area, making the timbre of the middle range more mellow and the timbre of the bass area more vigorous, which is more suitable for beginners to learn, and the applicable repertoire is also wider than that of Dunhuang.
On the whole, Dingyun Guzheng performs well in the popular zither at low and medium prices, among which the 912 and 902 series are suitable for beginners, and the price is about 3600 yuan. "912 Reflection Flowers and Birds" is a more popular one, using safflower pear finish, beautiful pattern, good anti-slip treatment at the bottom of the Zheng code, stable performance is not easy to jump code. The diagonal buckle design of the leg makes the piano more close to the frame and improves the stability of the piano body during playing. The bottom plate sound hole is made of resin edging, which is beautiful and can also prevent cracking to a certain extent.
Dingyun 903 series intermediate performance Zheng is also good cost performance, among which "903 Bihe Xiaoyue" is a more popular one, the sound quality is full, the finish is made of red rosewood, with relief technology, plus varnish treatment, very beautiful and generous, in the market and the price of Dunhuang "banana window night rain" is equally famous, the price is 5200 yuan.
Dingyun's 905, 906 and 907 series are high-end performance/collectible zhengs with ebony finishes and prices of more than 10,000 yuan. However, compared with the popular Zheng in the low price range, Dingyun's high-level performance Zheng has lost the advantage of high cost performance, and compared with the same price of the collection Zheng such as Dunhuang, the explosive power of the treble area is insufficient, which is not suitable for people who already have a good performance foundation, compared to the choice of other brands of collection Zheng will be better.
