There is a saying that goes – 南敦煌,北朱雀. This means, the Dunhuang brand dominates the southern side of China, where as the Zhuque Dominates the Northern Side of of China.
Established SINCE 1958, Zhuque is a branch under the Xi’an Conservatory of Music, hence it is indirectly owned by the Chinese central government to research on Guzheng making and to produce Guzhengs fit for use by their conservatory students. Zhuque Guzhengs are endorsed by many professionals all over China.
At Eight Tones here, we are the only authorized dealer here in Singapore, and we receive our Guzhengs directly from Xi’an Conservatory of Music.
