Yayun is a brand of Yangzhou Yayun Zheng Co., Ltd., formerly known as Yangzhou Oriental National Musical Instrument Factory. As a Yangzhou zheng, Yayun also integrates elements of Yangzhou's traditional lacquerware, jade and carving techniques to form a Yayun guzheng with Yangzhou characteristics.

 

Yayun mainly produces mid-range and entry-level guzheng, and the quality of guzheng has been relatively stable, and some details are relatively good. Yayun paulownia panels are all produced in Lankao, Henan, with a straight and clear texture, a loose surface of the baking panel, and good sound conductivity. The Guzheng string hole is made of embedded anti-wear PP material, which is not durable enough compared to the commonly used metal-plated string hole, but it can also effectively reduce the wear of the string. Although the PP material edging of the sound outlet hole at the bottom plate is not as beautiful as the mahogany edging, it can also protect the edge of the sound hole from wear and crack.
