It's not too late, because learning guzheng requires savvy, and it's good to go to college, so it's not too late. Besides, learning guzheng is not as difficult as piano, unlike piano, which needs hands to cooperate from the beginning! ! Short fingers are not a problem. Playing the guzheng depends on the hand shape. If you play for a long time, your hand will feel very slender (by yourself).

Guzheng is expensive or cheap, depending on what you want to buy. If it's a hobby, don't buy expensive ones. It's probably the cheapest I know, and it's only 1800. Then if you are not a hobby and have been studying professionally, you'd better buy a better one! At least the sound quality is better, so the price is not necessarily ~ ~ 3000,4000 ~ ~ all the way to 10000 ~ ~ However, there is no need to buy it so expensive ~ ~
