Although the decorative board of 696D is non-sandalwood, in order to ensure the sound quality of guzheng, the panel of 696D guzheng is still Lankao professional paulownia, and the bottom plate is also the clear water floor of Lankao paulownia, which has been carefully baked.
696D Zheng uses the same manual mahogany Zheng code as 694 series, which can effectively reduce sound transmission loss and improve sound quality.
In addition, the string of 696D is Dunhuang A-type string, which has less tension compared with B-type professional string, and is suitable for amateur learning and beginners, and the elastic pressure is relatively easy.
The pattern of 696D guzheng is the same as that of 694DQ, and it is also a "double crane in the morning", which is one of the reasons why 696D is loved by beginners. The design of "Double Crane Rising Sun" was finalized by Xu in the early days of Dunhuang Guzheng Factory. It has been used since 1960s, and it is the oldest, most used and most famous classical guzheng form in Shanghai No.1 National Musical Instrument Factory.
"Double Crane Chaoyang" adopts carving technology, and two light and elegant flying cranes pass through the gently blowing clouds and happily rush to the long-awaited Chaoyang. "Double Crane Chaoyang" has been registered by the State Trademark Office and is dedicated to Dunhuang Guzheng.
Judging from the textbooks published at present, the classification of guzheng is generally divided into 9 grades or 10 grades. For example, the textbooks compiled by the Music Rating Committee of the China Musicians Association are divided into 9 grades; The textbooks compiled by the Chinese National Orchestra Society are divided into 10 levels; Guzheng Test Grade of Art Development Center of Ministry of Culture 10. Textbooks published by other art colleges and government departments also have Grade 9 or 10.
The level is not divided by the concept of numbers, but by the technical content as a means to judge artistic expression.
