21-stringed Scarlet Bird Zhuque Brand Model #10A.
Scarlet Bird brand of the Xi'an Conservatory of Music is the most respected brand that
follows the traditional ways of making guzheng.
This beautiful instrument Model #10A is made with paulownia wood thats natural air-dried for
at least 3 years . It's an upgrade version of #10. The factory increases the thickness of the
soundboard to present a much clear, solid and punchy sound quality.
The design of its body structure is unique. The body board made of paulownia (pao-tong)
tree(naturally grows in Henan Province), which is artificially hollowed out in the middle, has
greatly improved the sound quality of the instrument. In the other words, it takes almost
the whole tree just to make one single guzheng.
First, it needs a thick wood of Tong tree that has the same size as the body, the back of
which engraves the sound grooves. In order to guarantee the sound waves unimpeded,
there is no strut in the acoustical resonator. Secondly, the radian of the board is formatted
naturally so that the trace and pore of the wood will not be distorted artificially. When we play
the "Zhuque" zheng, its board is vibrating regularly, with clear, bright, magnetic sound and
the unified timbre. Thirdly, the thickness of the board is made depending on the tree
different parts-high, middle and low ranges of the sound. The three parts can function
respectively as well as coordinate in harmony so that the effective lingering sound will not
drain easily and the volume will increase with the good acoustic. The sound of "Zhuque"
Zheng has the stereoscopic effect.
This sound of this instrument is warming and extremely loud with robust bass. Many
people consider it as a "grand guzheng".

Sound Wave Level: D^3 string - 91db D string - 110db
