Guzheng Pricing Tiers (Historic)
(Prices as of August 2020)
Jump to: GZA Pricing Tiers | GZA Tier Definitions | Guzheng Store Pricing
I first created this page in 2019/early 2020, updating through August 2020. This was prior to the manufacturing and shipping disruptions caused by the pandemic. I benchmarked prices against similar models from different stores and found very little range in prices.
In late 2021 I rechecked only to find that prices had gone up on my benchmark models as much as 25%. So! This page is saved as representative of the pre-pandemic pricing. Time will tell if prices change again. For the latest, visit the Current Pricing Tiers.
