The Making of: Guzheng
The guzheng is a traditional Chinese musical instrument that has been around for centuries.
In the 1960s, the No. 1 National Musical Instrument Factory in Shanghai took the lead in improving the production of guzheng and successfully developed the contemporary S-shaped 21-string guzheng.
This short documentary, in celebration of the Center’s fifth anniversary and the Mid-Autumn Festival, shows you how specialized craftsmen traditionally manufacture guzheng.

Masters like these people are the true value of human kind.
What I like is that Dunhuang doe's not flame dry the soundboard like many others. Flame drying is not good and the instrument will not have as good a sound or last as long.
Dunhuang guzheng
It looks more simple to tune than the Japanese koto and the strings look more comfortable to pluck with the fingertips.

Afaik, koto strings are actually softer and more prone to breaking. Guzheng, while traditionally played with silk strings, now is mostly played using nylon+steel mix strings. And you need to pluck them pretty hard for a clear, bright sound. It's a finger workout, let me tell you
so this is who gunna got his instrumental from
