Background

Here is a map of stores with English websites that sell guzheng in North America. Teachers may also sell instruments; check the Teacher Page to find someone near you. Don't worry if you need to have an instrument shipped to you. A properly packaged guzheng travels just fine in domestic post. I have sent or received instruments coast to coast and from states in between and they all arrived intact. Make sure your seller provides shipping insurance and has a sensible return policy. This map is provided to help your search and is not an endorsement by Guzheng Alive. If you know of other stores or want to update what is shown here, please send us an email.
