Guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither that has a history dated back to 500 B.C. It is rich in playing techniques. The performer plucks the strings with his right-hand fingernails, while his left-hand fingers apply pressure to the strings to execute vibratos, slides, other embellishments and occasional plucking techniques.

Can't open
I can't open iguzheng after updating to latest version in ipad. Please look into it. Version iguzheng 6.1 cannot opened in ios6
Great app!
Great app, everything works fine on my new ipad. It is worth the money as it has better sounds than similar free apps. I just hope that there is more demo songs.
No sound on the new iPad
Brought this apps after install there is no sound, y? I'm very confirm my new iPad is not on mute.
Useful!
Very useful practice tool, since I travel so often and have little time to practice with my real guzheng. Also the first app I bought, money well spent.
Great app, but volume always disappear
Discover the sound always disappear itself...after view few times demo.., please help to solve it.
Great app!
Great app! Can even practise when out and about with iPad. Wish can see all the strings in one screen rather than sliding up and down. Still a very nice app.
Love it
This app is pretty cool, even though I think it's 'harder' to play then a real Guzheng sometimes, but at least it's more portable. The only problem I have with it is that once in a while the 'volume' disappears, and unable to play. But the problem is easily resolved by restarting the iPad.
