After nearly three months of careful production, the now-ground 4 1 inch Jumbo has been fully listed. Medium Jumbo, as the name implies, is medium Jumbo. The widest part of the barrel is similar to that of a 4 1 inch D barrel piano, while the length of the barrel is the same as that of a standard 4 1 inch D barrel piano, which is 510 mm. When it comes to Jumbo barrel, Gibson SJ-200 Super Jumbo barrel may be the first thing you think of. The 42-inch super cannon barrel shape provides rich * * * sound and huge volume.
Although the oversize size of 42 inches has brought great advantages in timbre, compared with the petite figure of Asians, it often makes people feel inadequate. 4 1 inch medium Jumbo shows great advantages here. By thickening the barrel thickness, the piano body volume is not less than 42 inches Jumbo, and the timbre retains Jumbo's iconic * * * sound and volume. At the same time, compared with SJ-200, the tighter waistline and fat ass not only look more enchanting visually, but also show clearer treble in timbre, just like the beautiful figure of women.
As for the actual size of the bucket, let our dear Nana show it to me.
In the design process of the medium Jumbo with string ink 4 1 inch, we revised the manuscript three times, and in the theoretical verification stage, we revised the curve details of the piano body several times. Even so, we started the experiment with trepidation. Although the theory of new barrel design is important, many times the actual situation is just the opposite to the theory. So, until the last moment, I was still not sure what kind of sound 4 1 inch Jumbo would make. Tune and pluck the strings, and finally realize the happiness of pregnancy and childbirth in October. Three months of hard work, not in vain, I finally got the voice I wanted! !
(Preparation before construction, a top-grade bear claw pattern panel was completely scrapped due to operational errors, so many people only saw the appearance of the handmade piano and didn't know how much wear and tear it was. )
Where a piano can't be seen is often the most important place. Many friends who do piano in China will ignore the choice of wood. The strength and moisture content of wood have a great influence on the timbre and stability of the final guitar. The string-ink guitar is made of 90-degree-diameter cut dense-grained Sitka spruces, which have been naturally air-dried for many years. Different from the prefabrication of piano sound beams in general factories, all the chord-ink tone beams are cut by hand and polished to 600 degrees.
I made my own manual hot bending die for the side plate. Guess what those two thick cylinders are. Haha, I exchanged it with two rolling pins in the kitchen.
In the process of cutting the side plate, I accidentally dropped a piece of meat on my index finger through the board, and the bleeding stopped, and the band-aid could not be wrapped at all. I quickly went downstairs to buy Yunnan Baiyao for hemostasis and dressing. I joked with Chao that this piano must be sold at a good price because she infected me.
The accident happened again. In the process of cutting the sound beam, the chisel poked the left thumb. Fortunately, the injury was not serious this time. Making guitar is a painful and happy process. I am happy because I love guitar and am addicted to playing the piano. You never know what your job is like until the last moment. Pain is real pain, and injury is inevitable. Compared with many colleagues who lost their fingers because of operating equipment, I am lucky.

Close the bucket! ! !
The profession of piano producer often gives people a mysterious and elegant feeling. Thanks to Luo Yonghao's hammer and mobile phone, many people think that craftsmen are using tools to repair watches in dim light. In fact, the piano maker's working environment is dirty, messy and poor, dealing with noise and dust all day. If there is not enough protective equipment, it is easy to fall into occupational diseases.
Sparrow-eyed maples are colored. Coincidentally, when I made this bird's eye view of the maple tree, my friend sent me the latest pictures of the PRS private stock series. I looked at it and said, I'll try it for you, but he used flocculent maple and I used bird's eye maple.
The above three pictures show the PRS private stock series.
The above two pictures are my "shanzhai". I asked my friend how much PRS sold, and he said it was about 65,438+10,000 RMB. I said, I'll coat you with French shellac, and you give me 654.38 yuan +0.6 million yuan, and this piano is yours. The friend opened his mouth in surprise. Maybe you don't want to spend 6.5438 million yuan on a PRS all your life, but I can give you the least money to complete your rainbow dream.
In the final stage before one of the pianos was completed, I collaborated with the famous painter Zhao Zhao on this hand-painted guitar. This piano has been sold, welcome interested friends to consult and customize. Note: Teacher Zhao's paintings are not cheap. )
This order is made with French shellac paint, not ordinary chemical paint. Friends who have played classical guitar all know what shellac means. Compared with chemical spray painting produced in large quantities, shellac paint must be rubbed repeatedly with cotton cloth and brushed again after drying. A piano has to be polished hundreds of times, which is quite labor-intensive. Lace paint is too thin and soft, so the later maintenance needs to be very careful. If you are not careful, you will leave scratches or even pits on the paint. Lac paint has many shortcomings, but it is the paint that has the least influence on tone color, and this advantage is impeccable. I deliberately did an experiment: I tried playing before painting, and compared with painting, the timbre has hardly changed. Different from the mirror effect of chemical paint like transparent glass, shellac paint exudes a moist texture from the inside out. The wooden lines are clear and clear, and the thin paint layer seems to have nothing, just like the feeling of old mahogany furniture.
This is why the price of a shellac-painted classical guitar can easily reach 40,000 RMB. However, the whole shellac order of Xianmo this time, except the whole order of Sparrow Eye Maple, is more than 10,000 yuan, because the price of raw materials is high. The retail price of other models does not exceed 1000 yuan, among which the retail price of Indian rosewood is only 6800 yuan, even lower than many domestic brands. Many ink dealers exclaimed that the pricing was too low. I said with a smile, don't forget your initiative, so as to achieve your ultimate goal. I have never forgotten what the purpose of making string ink was, not for profiteering, but to let more friends who love guitar use good guitars with high quality and low price. Money is a good thing, but I only earn my share of hard-earned money, which is worthy of my blood and my conscience.
This time, there are three barrel shapes of Jumbo, which are 40 inches. 4 1 inch 42 inches?
Finally, let's enjoy this new beautiful picture of Xianmo.

Regarding the design concept and detailed introduction of the works launched this time, although most of the first batch of pianos have been sold, interested friends can contact us. The production of string ink is different from the mass production in general factories. There are only six employees in the string ink guitar workshop, including myself and myself, so our output is very low, and the output in one month is far lower than that in ordinary assembly line factories. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't order what you want You can contact us to customize the configuration and price. It is believed that a good piano needs a lot of time to make and wait.
