In 2007, the familiar electone was the EL series produced by Japanese after 199 1. Japan is the main producer of electone and the place where the corresponding talents gather.
Electronic organ is very popular in Taiwan Province province of China, but it started late in Chinese mainland. Until 1990, Shenyang Conservatory of Music took the lead in opening the undergraduate major of electronic organ, and Professor Shen Xiaoming made great contributions to the popularization of electronic organ in Chinese mainland.
1934, American Lawrence Hammond invented the double-row key and applied for a patent. The first electronic organ was composed of electronic components and weighed about 65,438+00 tons, which was as big as a room. Although clumsy, it has entered the historical stage of musical instruments with a brand-new look. Electone's English name is Electronic organ, which literally translates as electronic organ.
1950, Panasonic Corporation of Japan successfully manufactured a double-row key after purchasing the patent for the production of double-row keys. Nine years later, Yamaha Company of Japan successfully developed the world's first transistor double-row key, named Electone. Japanese electronics giants and some countries such as Europe and America favor electone, which promotes the rapid formation of electone professional education system. In 1970s, hundreds of foreign universities included the teaching of electronic musical instruments, including double-row keys, into the official curriculum.
The main difference between organ and electronic organ;
Structure: The structure of the organ is extremely complicated, and there is no fixed specification. Generally, it consists of a keyboard system and a sound tube system. The largest organ in the world is more than ten meters high, with more than 30,000 sound tubes and seven-layer keyboards. It will make a loud sound when playing. Electronic organ usually has a vertical body, two or three rows of hand keyboards, a row of foot keyboards and one or two pedals.
How to play: Early organ performance usually required two partners, one playing and the other playing. Later, the scale of the organ became larger and larger, and too much air was blown by manpower, so a more complicated keyboard mechanical structure was developed. But the playing method on the keyboard is similar to other keyboard instruments; Manipulating the electronic organ requires the cooperation of many parts of the human body. Usually, the right hand plays the main melody, the left hand plays the sub-melody or chord, the right foot controls the volume pedal or the sustain pedal, the left foot controls the keyboard to accompany the bass, and both feet and knees can also control the effect of switching timbre. Playing a song requires whole body movement, which pays attention to the unity and coordination of all parts of the body.
Pronunciation principle: When fingers strike the keys of the organ, the keys will drive a connecting rod made of oak, which is connected with a connecting rod shaped like a pipe, and the pipe is connected with a piston. So after pressing the key, the piston will open and send the air flow to the nozzle of the piano tube. Here are two airbags of the same shape. The airflow from these two airbags will soon enter the wooden pipe. We call it an air supply pipe, and the air flow will always flow to the bellows. After the air duct sends the air into the bellows, the player presses the piano key, and a small piston will open. At this time, the air will pass through the nozzle, and then the air will enter the piano tube to play music. Electone's performance consists of two stages: pre-production before the performance and "full body exercise" on the spot.
Performance of double-row keys:
Double-row keys can be said to be a "one-man band", but in fact, like single-row keys, they imitate the timbre of real instruments, which puts high demands on double-row key players: they must improve their performance level and take imitating real instruments as their playing direction. In addition, when we create music with double-row keys, we should not only consider the playing techniques of double-row keys, but also grasp the harmony and style characteristics of music.
