The carved out body is seamless connected to the bottom board.

The sound of this guzheng is clean and dynamic. The bass is undoubtfully one of the best in the world. The high notes are bright and crispy with long rings. The transition is even and solid across the strings, definitely has the best even transition among all guzheng.
All the bridges and strings are fine-tuned and adjusted to ensure the best sound quality.
