1, the common guitar on the market have six strings, from left to right (from thick to thin) a **** six, in the case of not pressing any pins, directly strumming the strings, issued by the sound is called the "empty string tone", the standard pitch are E, A, D, G, B, E.
2, of course, this is only the standard pitch. Of course, this is only the standard pitch, and advanced musicians can adjust their pitch according to their actual needs and different music styles.
3, 1 = C is from the six-string (thick) to one-string (thin) in the order of the bass 3 bass 6 2 5 7 treble 3 tone named E A D G B E; simply make a legend for everyone to check:
|---- ---------- | 1 string Empty string tone:E (thinnest string)
|-------- ------| 2 string Empty string tone:B
|--- ---------- ---| 3 string Empty string tone:G
|------ --------| 4-string Empty:D
|| ---------- ----| 5-string Empty:A
|---- ---------- | 6 String Empty String Tone:E (thickest string)
4. Guitar tuning can be realized through electronic tuners, and there are already tuners on the market with liquid crystal display, which can realize precise string adjustments just by plucking the strings.
String (the instrument's strings)
Stringed instruments on the excitation of the sound of the line, under a certain tension, through the friction, playing and other tactics to stimulate the vibration of the strings, through the amplification of the *** sounding chamber, to get the musical sound, is the most important part of the stringed instruments. Usually made of silk, sheep intestine, metal, or filament plastic fiber.
StringIntroduction
The strings on the instrument on which the sound is produced.
The strings on a zither that produce sound by plucking.
Anciently, the strings were made of silk, and were not particularly easy to break. Broken also from the yakuzan, connected can also be used all the time. Modern because silk is less sound, not suitable for use on stage, so instead of steel wire, outside sometimes wrapped in nylon.
The reason why the word strings as Henry's Fans of the name, because Henry's greatest specialty is to play the violin, and the violin without the strings can not play music, shows the strings and Henry is inseparable.
Basic Knowledge
1, good strings should have good sound quality, fast string setting, stable pitch, good playability (fingers feel safe, strings are responsive), and a long lifespan (if you play the violin for 2 hours a day, then the strings should last for about 3 months).
2. Different brands or different models of the same brand of strings are usually the result of manufacturers' attempts to maximize the possibilities in the 5 areas mentioned above, or their attempts to be different in a particular area (e.g., bright or soft sound, etc.).
They do this by adjusting the composition of the strings (increasing or decreasing the amount of silver in the bass strings or carbon in the treble strings, etc.) and the process. String manufacturing is not an exact science, and each brand of string has its own unique characteristics, as well as good and bad points. No one manufacturer makes the best or perfect strings.
3. It's a good idea to listen to other people's opinions, but be aware that different people have different criteria for evaluating strings. For example, an instrument maker will generally favor strings that don't have a lot of character (neither too bright nor too soft) so as to emphasize the character of the guitar itself. A player, on the other hand, often has his or her own specific sound choices (e.g., plaintive bass, bright treble, etc.). These preferences are not absolute aesthetics, but depend on the guitar itself and the style of the player. Therefore, a middle-of-the-road set of strings is not always the best choice.
4, string tension is a big aspect, there are a lot of things to say, tension for the string is necessary, we rely on the tension of the tension of the string to achieve a different pitch, in general: tension level is generally divided into five levels of ultra-low, low, medium, high, ultra-high.
The level of tension on a string depends on the standard length determined by the manufacturer (e.g. D'Addario is 648 millimeters, if the string is more than 648 millimeters long after it is mounted on the guitar, then a higher tension will be needed, and if it is less than 648 millimeters long, then a lesser amount of tension will be needed, so don't forget about the different standard lengths when thinking about the tension of a string. The higher the tension the thicker the string. The thicker the string, the softer and rounder the sound. The harder the material, the brighter the sound (e.g. carbon tremolo strings)
The lower the tension, the more comfortable the strings are to press, but it also increases the likelihood of playing (although, of course, the issue of playing is largely up to the guitar itself). Higher tension does not mean higher volume. Higher tension strings will vibrate more vigorously, but this form of vibration does not play a major role in volume. The guitar itself, and especially its internal structure, plays a much more important role in this regard.
Take a typical example: a set of ultra-high-tension strings is likely to put so much pressure on the top that the top will begin to block the sound. When considering the use of ultra-high tension strings, be sure to check with your guitar's builder to see how well your instrument will hold up to string tension. Many builders will not recommend that you use ultra-high tension strings on their guitars.?
Most players are comfortable with medium tension, high tension, or a mix of medium and high tension strings. I don't recommend low-tension or ultra-low-tension strings, as they certainly sound thinner than most players can imagine.
String material
Folk guitar strings refer to steel strings, in the 1, 2 strings and say, the material is a kind of high carbon steel, which has a very good stretchability and elasticity, soaked in tin, coated with a layer of protective film, reduce external corrosion, prolong the use of time, and at the same time, has a bright appearance and smooth feel. The 3, 4, 5, 6 strings are different, in addition to the internal high carbon steel is also wrapped in a layer of synthetic metal coils, at this time, the internal high carbon steel is often made into a hexagonal shape instead of round, so as to and the outer layer of coils wrapped more tightly together, to achieve better **** vibration effect.
The material of the outer layer is divided into the following types:
1, 80/20 Brass -- Brass is "brass" in English, brass is copper (here copper is pure copper, the English is copper) and zinc (zinc) alloy (copper) and zinc (zinc) alloy. (zinc) of the alloy (alloy), 80/20 is the ratio of copper and zinc.
2, 80/15 Brass - as above, 80/15 is the ratio of copper to zinc.
3, Cryogenic process -- deep refrigeration abbreviation. Reach -100 ℃ below the low temperature of the freezing technology, reorganize its molecular structure.
4, Cupronickel - commonly known as "white copper", copper-nickel alloy, a copper alloy containing 10% to 30% nickel (nickel).
5, Phosphor Bronze - Bronze is the "bronze" of the English, Phosphor is the "phosphorus" of the English, that is, phosphorus Bronze; and bronze itself is copper (copper) and tin (stannum) alloy (alloy), the proportion is 90/10, can be recorded as: 90/10 Bronze, on this basis, mixed with a small amount of (5%) phosphorus, synthesized phosphor bronze, so phosphor bronze guitar strings will generally be more expensive, is due to the difference between its raw materials and processes.
6, Stainless Steel - directly translated is "stainless steel".
7, Composite (Silk & Steel)-translated from the "combination of strings (silk and steel)", that is to say, there are nylon strings inside the steel strings, the outside by the silver-plated bronze strings wrapped.
Material Characteristics
1, 80/20 BRONZE -- BRONZE means "Bronze", and 80/20 is 80% copper and 20% tin. The composition of 80/20 is 80% copper and 20% tin.
Features: the most common string material, the most crisp and bright tone.
2. 80/15 BRONZE -- Same as above, but 80/15 is 80% copper and 15% tin.
Features: similar to the 80/20, but with a warmer tone.
3. BRASS -- BRASS is brass, an alloy of copper and zinc.
Features: Brass has a warm, even sound with a long sustain.
4, PHOSPHOR BRONZE -- PHOSPHOR is "phosphorus" and BRONZE is "bronze", so it is called phosphor bronze (red copper), while bronze itself is copper (red copper), and bronze itself is copper. ), and bronze itself is an alloy of copper and tin, on the basis of which a small amount of phosphorus is mixed into the synthesis of phosphorus copper, so the use of phosphorus copper guitar strings will generally be more expensive, precisely because of its raw materials and complex production. (American D'Addario, Hong Kong ZIKO use of this material)
Features: feel harder, but the tone is more warm
5, STAINLESS STEEL -- some low-grade strings use this material, can be understood as "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel", "stainless steel". "
Features: Although it is not easy to rust, but the tone is like "playing cotton" like not to praise.
6, COMPOSITE (SILK & STEEL) -- Translated as "Combined Strings (Silk & Steel)", that is, the internal steel wire wrapped nylon.
Features: Martan M130 strings are made of this material, and the tension is low, so it is very easy to press, and the tone is quite soft (the softest tone I've ever used)
7. NICKEL -- Nickel ZIKO strings are made of this material for some models.
Features: The sound is more loud and clear, usually used for electric guitar.
