I introduction of ukulele

Ukulele is translated into "Hawaiian Mini Guitar" in Chinese, "Ukulele" in Chinese mainland and "Ukulele" in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Ukulele is a four-string plucked instrument belonging to the guitar family. In Hawaiian, ukulele means "coming gift". /kloc-In the 9th century, Portuguese immigrants brought Creary to Hawaii, where it gradually became popular.

Second, the structure of ukulele

Euclidean structure diagram

From top to bottom, ukulele can be roughly divided into three parts, namely:

1, piano head

There are four "small ears" on the piano head. These four "little ears" are called chord buttons. Rotating the chord button can adjust the tightness of the strings to change the pitch, which will be used in tuning.

2. Neck

The long neck of the piano head is called the neck, and the whole board on the neck is called the fingerboard, which is used to press the strings. The metal wire on the fingerboard is called pinsilk. Pinsi divides the fingerboard into many small squares, each of which is called personality. From top to bottom are grade one, grade two, grade three and so on. The four lines on the cardboard are strings, and from left to right are four strings, three strings, two strings and one string.

Step 3: boxes

The box consists of a panel, a side panel and a back panel. The round hole on the panel is called "sound hole".

Third, why should I learn from Creary?

Compared with the guitar, the four-string Creary is cheaper. Street stalls can buy one for tens of dollars (of course, dozens of ukuleles are just a "toy"), which is easy to learn and has a low threshold. Even if you can't play pentatonic, it won't affect your study of ukulele. Why do you say that? There are two ways to play ukulele: playing and fingering. Playing means singing while playing, and fingering means playing without singing, so it does not affect Creary's study. Compared with guitar, ukulele is small and easy to carry. Even if I don't want to play in the future, it is also a good decoration at home, adding a literary atmosphere.

Fourth, the classification of ukulele

From different aspects, ukuleles have different classification methods, which are introduced below.

1, according to the appearance, ukulele is divided into guitar shape and pineapple shape.

The pineapple-shaped ukulele box is bigger and the sound is better than the guitar-shaped one. In terms of feel, the guitar-shaped ukulele is more comfortable to hold the piano and friendly to beginners. The difference in timbre between the two can be ignored, and beginners suggest buying guitar-shaped ones.

2. In terms of size, the common sizes of ukuleles are 265, 438+0 ",23" and 26 ",which correspond to tenor, alto and tenor respectively (there are also 30" bass ukuleles, but they are not common, so I won't introduce them).

The ukulele is relatively small, the most commonly used one is 23 inches, so it is very convenient to play, sing and play. If you are tall and have big palms, boys can consider 26 inches.

3. According to the wood used to make pianos, there are spruce, Korean pine, maple, acacia, rose, mahogany and Sabili. Generally, there are many redwoods, spruces and acacia trees.

The color of mahogany is light brown, and the timbre is full and soft.

Spruce has light yellow color, straight lines and brighter and crisper timbre than mahogany.

Robinia pseudoacacia has dark brown color, beautiful texture, thick and full timbre and strong layering, and is also the most traditional material for making ukulele.

4. From the material point of view, there are plywood, single board and full single piano.

Plywood means that the whole piano box is made of plywood, and the composite board is not solid wood. Low cost; * * * The sound, volume and timbre are poor.

Veneering means that the front panel of the piano box is solid wood, and the back panel and side panel are plywood. The timbre is better than plywood, and the price is slightly more expensive.

All single fingers are made of solid wood. Good timbre, loud volume, expensive price, need to pay attention to maintenance.

Fifth, the skills of purchasing ukulele.

There is a basic principle in choosing ukulele-"buy the most expensive and favorite one within your own economic ability".

"The most expensive" is easy to understand. You get what you pay. Higher price means higher quality. The higher the price, the better the quality and the better the timbre.

There is no uniform standard for "like". There are a thousand hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. It is possible to like the color, shape, material or a small detail of a piano.

Can be considered from the following aspects:

1, price

An entry-level ukulele usually costs 200 yuan to go to 300 yuan, so don't consider the "poker" with tens of dollars mentioned above. This kind of toy piano often has rough workmanship, inaccurate intonation and poor timbre.

2. Size

As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to play ukulele: playing and fingering. Playing and singing are relatively simple and easy for beginners to learn. 23-inch Creary can play and fingering, which is more suitable for beginners, and 26-inch Creary is suitable for fingering, but fingering is more difficult, so if there is no special demand, it is recommended to buy 23-inch Creary.

3. Materials

The sound of ukulele is produced by a box.

Therefore, the sound quality of Creary has a great relationship with the material of the box.

Generally speaking, the box materials are divided into two categories:

Please click the difference between veneer and plywood to enter the picture description.

One is plywood: plywood refers to composite board, which is made by gluing several thin templates by hand. One is veneer: veneer refers to the board cut directly from wood. As mentioned earlier, the box in ukulele is composed of three parts: the front panel, the side panel and the back panel.

The front panel, the side panel and the back panel are all plywood, and such a piano is a plywood piano;

The front panel is a single board, and the side panels and the back panel are plywood, so the piano is a single-sided piano;

The front panel, the side panel and the back panel are all single boards, so this piano is a single piano.

In terms of sound quality, the whole single piano > face single piano > plywood piano.

Of course, the price is also in this order.

So how to distinguish plywood from veneer?

The difference between veneer and plywood

Because the veneer is cut from solid wood, the wood grain texture of the panel is irregular, which is caused by the natural growth of trees; Plywood is made of artificial glue, and the wood grain of this wood-based panel is very regular.

Another method is to observe the cross section of the sound hole. If it is a plywood piano, you can see that the boards are layered, but if the paint is thick, this method will not work.

4. Brand

There are many entry-level brands at home and abroad about the brand of ukulele. Donna Tang Nong, Pop Colm Parken, Rainbow Man, Tom, Kaka, Uma, UKU, Nice Ness, Enya Enya and Rainie Xiaoyu are all good choices.

The box is made of HPL veneer, which is a synthetic veneer. This material is very common in the low-end series of Martin guitars, but the sound of this material is limited and the tension is small, so Martin is equipped with electric box pickups on these guitars. In 17, Enya introduced the missing angle version of X 1 c on the basis of X1,which is convenient for playing high positions.

The two full orders mentioned above are all ordinary peach blossom core configurations. 1000 or more, recommend two whole acacia trees with very high cost performance. Acacia is known as the royal board of Creary, and it is also the standard of high-end piano. Moreover, acacia wood not only has a nice name, but also has a very beautiful flame-like texture and a full and grainy tone.

Realsun Shengrui AC200 and Bright Sun Sunny BS20, these two pianos are similar in configuration and price, and even in design appearance: bright lacquer, classical piano head and sound hole wheel flower inlay all use daddario EJ87 strings, and the timbre is crisp and sweet.

Written at the end: the above basically includes several ukulele models commonly used by beginners, and the price and appearance can be matched. No matter which piano you choose to practice, you can use it for two or three years. Getting started is enough. In fact, the quality of a work of art depends not only on the material, but also on the origin and grade of the material. For example, acacia wood in Taiwan Province is very different from acacia wood in Hawaii, and the same material is also very different when it is naturally air-dried for five or ten years. Generally, the piano materials of big brands are more exquisite and the design technology is more reasonable.
