Where and when to get a Guzheng?

We suggest only buying a Guzheng when you are sure of committing. It's not required for in-person trial lesson but it is for regular and online video lessons. It's easy to buy a brand-new guzheng from various reliable sites which offer worldwide shipping. Alternatively, getting a used Guzheng would be a good option too if you are on a budget.
