There are two types of violins, one is manual violin and the other is mechanical violin. These two types have certain differences in production, price or sound. The first is production. Mechanical pianos are generally divided into two grades. The first grade is: plywood violin and pressure plate violin. Plywood violin, its top, back and sides are made of plywood, and the accessories are usually made of plastic or ordinary wood. This violin is generally a children's toy or a display in a restaurant or hotel. The platen violin is made of maple for the front and back, and the accessories are generally made of jujube wood. This kind of violin is also generally used for props or decoration. One level higher than them is the semi-manual violin, most of which are done by machinery, only the assembly and inlaying are manual craftsmanship. Generally used for beginners. The handmade violin production from accessories to assembly is a step-by-step effort by the luthier. From the price point of view, it is generally a mechanical piano. The price of a piano usually ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands through the exquisiteness, color and reputation of domestic first-class luthiers. If it is customized from abroad, it may be three to four times that of domestic luthiers. In terms of timbre, there is no doubt that the more exquisite the workmanship, the better the timbre.

The so-called single-sided ukulele refers to the ukulele whose top is made of solid wood, and the top is the plane that connects the strings. Only one side of the single piano is made of solid wood, and the sides and back are still made of plywood. All-single refers to the ukulele made of solid wood on the front, side and back, so that each surface can transmit and reflect the sound well, making the sound more three-dimensional, rich and deep, and in a large number of After playing, the sound will be further improved. 1. The difference between single and full single in ukulele 1. The face sheet refers to the ukulele whose panel is made of solid wood, and the panel is the plane that connects the strings. Only one side of the single piano is made of solid wood, and the sides and back are still made of plywood. The method of identifying the surface sheet: carefully observe the cross section of the wood, usually at the sound hole. If the wood grain color, texture and surface of the cross section are exactly the same, and there is no layered structure, it can be judged as solid wood. 2. All single refers to the ukulele made of solid wood on the front panel, side panel and back panel, so that each surface can transmit and reflect the sound well, which can make the sound more three-dimensional, rich, and deep. The sound will improve further after a lot of playing. The ukulele, which is all made of solid wood, can well reflect the timbre characteristics of the wood, so that the timbres of different wood types are different. The method of identifying the whole single piano: first, judge whether the panel is solid wood by observing the cross section of the sound hole of the panel; it is difficult to identify whether the back panel and the side panel are solid wood. Carefully check whether the wood grain on the front and back of a point of the board is consistent. 2. Introduction of plywood ukulele 1. Plywood is also called plywood, which is compressed by adding glue to three thin pieces of wood. Generally, softer wood is used in the middle of the plywood, and wood with beautiful wood grain is used as the veneer on both sides. Plywood is cheap, strong and not easy to be damaged. Many objects made of wood are made of plywood. This material has poor sound conduction performance due to the mutual barrier between the glue and wood of different textures, the volume is relatively low, and the sound is relatively dull. The plywood used in some very cheap pianos is compressed from wood chips. further weakens the tone. 2. The method of identifying plywood: only need to carefully observe the cross section of the board, usually the sound hole, it can be observed that the wood is divided into three layers, the light-colored interlayer in the middle is thicker, and the layers on both sides are relatively thin.

The violin has always been called "Da Vinci," but since Tosha Seidl parted ways with it, it's been called "Da Vinci, ex Seidel." In the previous article, we have already introduced. The violin has always been called "Da Vinci," but since Tosha Seidl parted ways with it, it's been called "Da Vinci, ex Seidel." If you've heard The Wizard of Oz's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," then you've probably experienced the emotional tone of the 1714 "da Vinci, ex-Seidel" violin. The famous instrument, made in Italy by Antonio Stradivari, is expected to sell for around $20 million on June 9 at Tarisio, an auction house specializing in bowed and stringed instruments. Before the auction, it will hold special private viewing exhibitions in London, Berlin, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and New York. This Stradivarius violin is on track to surpass the previous Stradivarius sales record; eleven years ago, the auction house sold another rare instrument in a charity auction that raised $16 million for victims of the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. Unlike its predecessor, "Da Vinci, Ex Seidel" isn't just for collecting -- it can also be played. The violin's unusual name refers both to its signature sound and to its most famous player. Tarisio's director, Carlos Tome, told Bloomberg that the instrument "has a sweet, deep and powerful sound, and it's something that really gets you there." On June 9, Tarisio estimated that the violin would sell for about $20 million. "Da Vinci" has been part of its nickname since the 1920s, inspired by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. According to Talisio's Jason Price, Caressa & Francais, one of the auction houses that sold the violin in the 1920s, "christened" the violin with the artist's name. This isn't the only time owner Albert Caresa has named a violin after an Italian Renaissance artist. He named the other two Stradivaris "Titian" and "Michelangelo". The other part of the name, "ex-Seidel," refers to the instrument's previous owner, Russian-American virtuoso Toscha Seidel. This violin belonged to Seidel for about 40 years. Seidel initially paid $25,000 for the violin, which is more than $400,000 in today's dollars. When Seidel, known as one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, acquired the violin in 1924, it made the front page of The New York Times. When asked about the violin, Seidel told The Times, "...we are a perfect fit for each other and I believe it is one of the best examples of a famous violin maker." The violin is more refined. The "Da Vinci" was more refined than other violins of the time. Seidl is correct - this is one of Stradivari's finest works. Price wrote that the "da Vinci" was more refined than other violins of the time because of the narrower and more compact fringe or decorative edges. With his "Da Vinci," the musician left an indelible mark on how Americans listen to violin music. He has performed with major orchestras and has had a prolific recording career. He had his own CBS network radio show and eventually moved to Hollywood. There, he played the violin for the 1939 film Interlude, in which violinist Leslie Howard fell in love with his accompaniment Ingrid Bergman, and for 1941's Melody for Three. "We largely associate love scenes or depictions of the unfortunate in movies - or any scene that evokes tears or strong emotion - with the sound of the violin, thanks in large part to Seidl ," Adam Bell wrote for American Scholar. "...he laid the groundwork for a deepening love of the violin in the American mainstream." But did he play on the soundtrack to MGM's The Wizard of Oz? Historian and Wizard of Oz expert John Frick said he could not confirm whether Seidel was the film's violin soloist, although it was possible, Jon Burlingame reports for Variety. Nonetheless, this is likely because Seidel was working for the studio in February 1939, and most of the film was recorded in May of that year. Seidel's work resonates across different disciplines. He even gave Albert Einstein violin lessons in the 1930s and performed with him after the scientist moved to the United States in 1933. In return, Einstein biographer Walter Isaacson wrote that the physicist explained his new theory of relativity to Seidel and "had him move the drawing of the rod contracting in length" to illustrate key aspects of his theory one. The famous violinist died in 1962. Although he was one of the most famous musicians of his era, today he is all but forgotten. But Seidel's musical legacy lives on with his fine violin. "...We are very excited to showcase this instrument, the beautiful sound of which still speaks to us through the incomparable Toscha Seidel's many classic recordings and soundtracks," Tome said in a statement. "We can only imagine the excitement this instrument has brought to countless musicians and audiences over the centuries."
