The difference between single and full single in ukulele

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.
