As we all know, guitar is a very popular stringed instrument. As a stringed instrument, it is understandable that the strings of the guitar have a direct influence on the timbre. The quality of the strings directly determines more than 70% of the timbre expression of the guitar.
Today, here, I want to introduce a magical string-Elixir, which is also the original string of Laves guitar explosion N8. Why is this string full of magical colors?
First of all, we know that the material composition of folk guitar strings is mostly metal. The composition of metal makes the strings emit high-pitched and bright timbre in the process of vibration, but although the timbre is good, one defect of using metal strings is that they are easy to oxidize in natural air environment.
Once oxidized, a layer of oxide will be attached to the strings, which will affect the vibration and sound of the strings, so the strings are also consumables.
In view of this situation, Illex, the top international string brand, has created a unique string coating technology, that is, coating a layer of special substances on the surface of metal strings, so that the blocked metal strings can be combined with water and other substances in the natural environment, effectively preventing the strings from being oxidized.
But we also know that coating on metal will affect the vibration physical characteristics of metal, which will lead to the attenuation of timbre. The magical Illex strings can ensure the restoration of timbre while coating.
This is one of his great strengths, while ensuring the timbre, making the life of the strings 3-5 times longer than that of ordinary strings.
In addition, the special materials used in the strings of Ilix also improve the smoothness of guitar strings, which is very good in playing feel. Many domestic and even international musicians will not want to use any other brand of strings after using this kind of strings.
After the publication of this patent, many string manufacturers want to imitate it. However, most string manufacturers find that the timbre of the strings is attenuated a lot after coating, and it is difficult to give consideration to timbre and durability. Besides, it can't feel as smooth as Ilix strings.
Naturally, with such a powerful string manufacturing technology, the sales price of a single set of Illex strings in the domestic market has reached more than 100 yuan, which is generally a luxury string used for a single guitar or a guitar product with a price of more than 5,000 yuan in the market.
In Laves guitar's N8 model, such high-grade strings are used, and a guitar product in the early 2000 yuan can match such strong strings.
It can be seen that Laves brand pursues high quality and high cost performance, and provides users with intimate product packages. I hope more musicians can use better musical instruments and contribute to the pursuit of music!
