Dating back over 2000 years, the Gu Zheng is one of the most beautiful and revered traditional Chinese instruments. Equipped with 21 strings and movable bridges, this Chinese plucked zither is known for its distinct playing styles, including pitch ornamentations and tremolo techniques. Produced by Zhang Jian (China Conservatory of Music) & Ma Jing (ADSH) in collaboration with Engine Audio, Yellow River Sound's Gu Zheng is a testament to the dedication of local Chinese music producers, who possess an innate understanding of their cultural heritage and a passion for showcasing the true essence of Chinese instruments.

Utilizing Engine Player technology, this virtual instrument offers an unprecedented level of detail in its articulations. Its elegance captures the essence of Chinese culture, reflecting a dedication to preserving tradition.
