Guzheng Size Reference:
Under 100 cm (<40") – Toy/Replica
Instruments under 100 cm are generally not playable. They produce very little volume, the strings sound flat, and the spacing is too narrow for most fingers. These are best considered novelty items rather than functional instruments.
100–110 cm (40–43") – Mini Guzheng
Mini guzhengs are designed for anyone needing a compact, portable instrument. Modern mini guzhengs usually feature standard string spacing, making them comfortable to play. While the bass may be less full than a standard-size guzheng, some high-quality mini models produce a surprisingly rich and pleasant tone. Their small size makes them easy to carry, ideal for travel or practice in limited spaces.
120–155 cm (47–61") – Travel Guzheng
Travel-size guzhengs are compact and convenient for portability. Sound quality varies widely between makers: a high-quality model can approach the tone of a standard-size guzheng, while a lower-quality one may resemble a toy guzheng.
160 cm+ (>61") – Standard Guzheng
This is the full standard size for guzhengs. Strings have the proper length for stable pitch, and spacing is suitable for adult fingers. Sound quality varies depending on the model and maker, but all standard guzhengs provide the traditional rich and balanced tone expected from the instrument.
