Chapter 26 Sycamore Wood

…………

Chen Xuan happened to have no class today, so when Xue Eucalyptus went out, he stayed at home.

"Then let's start, find a place to make a gift for An Sheng." Chen Xuan wiped his mouth, quickly washed the dishes, and went out in a hurry.

As for taking orders...

Just kidding, drawing comics for a year can't match the money he makes in a few days now.

According to the newly transmitted memory in the mind, the panel of the guzheng is one of the important factors that determines the sound quality of the guzheng.As far as the sound generation principle of the guzheng is concerned, the conduction effect of the panel has a direct causal relationship with the vibration state of the guzheng body, which also determines the acoustic quality of the guzheng.

In layman's terms, the better the material and the more it meets the requirements, the higher the quality of the zither.

Because it was a birthday gift for Yu Sheng, Chen Xuan naturally wanted to do the best for her - of course, if funds allowed.

The grade standards of guzheng panels are generally classified into three grades in terms of texture and texture.

The first level: wood grain quarter-cutting, the materials are collected between the radius and the tree core, with a slight part of the tree core.Grain is straight with little variation in spacing.The area of ​​the center of the tree near the middle (chord cutting state) accounts for a small proportion.The texture is loose, with obvious horizontal grains on the surface, without twill and random grains (commonly known as "inverted shredded strands").

The second level: wood grain cut, near the heart of the tree.The texture is basically straight, but the spacing is wide and narrow, and the center of the tree occupies a certain proportion.The texture is loose, but the horizontal stripes are not obvious, and there are a few active strips.

The third grade: the wood grain is diametrically cut, with the core part, and the grain is not straight, the gap width is obviously different, and the core area accounts for a large proportion.The material is more than rigid but not loose enough.There are a few live knots.

Of course, these grades are also relatively cumbersome classifications. When buying, he should choose to buy suitable high-grade sycamore wood as raw materials.

Because in the past, ancient zithers were mainly made of sycamore wood, and they were made in two ways: "cutting the tung tree as the body" and "box-style splicing".

The speaker is in the shape of a long strip and the cross-section of the panel is curved.The bottom plate can be straight or curved, which is called a double-curved kite.Two sound holes are opened on the bottom plate, which are called "Yue".

Guzheng is divided into three parts: head, body and tail, which are named Zhengshou, Zhengshen and Zhengwei respectively.The front and rear string beams are the boundary, the right end is the front beam, which is also the head of the zither; the left end is the back beam, which is also the tail of the zither.Between the two beams is the body of the zither. If you are more professional, it is called "Yinjian".

The above is roughly a summary of the shape and structure of the guzheng.

Of course, Chen Xuan can also choose to use a more modern method to make the guzheng, using some materials such as mahogany to make an S-shaped zither head.But after all, it is contaminated with the atmosphere of modern society. If it is mass-produced and sold to others, it is fine, but since it is made for eucalyptus, it is more traditional and more charming.

So, what he wants to do is a version of Guzheng called "overall control":

It is dug out of a whole piece of wood, including the connection of side panels and panels. To put it bluntly, it is to buy a large piece of material and dig slowly.Because it began in ancient times, the shape and structure of this kind of qin are relatively primitive, full of traditional craftsmanship, simple and elegant, and the sound is different from other qin, but this production method is a waste of materials.In addition, from the perspective of wood properties, there is less room for material selection.

"Let me see where the wood factory is." Chen Xuan took out his mobile phone, opened Qiandu Maps, and searched for nearby wood factories.

This search really found several, but most of them are far away.

After carefully looking at the comments under each one, Chen Xuan finally made up his mind and planned to take the subway to Laowang Wood Factory, which is 33 kilometers away from here, to have a look. There are relatively more favorable comments there.

After an hour's journey, he came to the wood factory in the suburbs refreshed.Since his physical fitness has been improved by the system, he usually doesn't feel too tired after such a long journey.

It can be said that the waist is no longer painful, the legs are no longer sore, and the kidneys. Keke, the kidneys have always been good!
Walking into the gate of the wood factory, there was a man in a suit and leather shoes. A middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old came over and asked him with a smile: "Sir, are you here to buy wood?"

"Ah," Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, but then he thought about it, with such a big wood factory, there must be people coming to buy small retail materials every day. It is estimated that the person in front of him is in charge of sales.

"That's it. Do you have any sycamore trees over 40 years old here, whole trees, or half a cubic meter of white pine?"

A whole sycamore tree is of course used to make the guzheng, while the white pine is to wrap the two ends of the guzheng for protection and durability.

"Hiss, is the sycamore tree more than 40 years old, or the whole tree?" Li Li, a middle-aged man, was secretly startled. This young man has such a big hand, and all these together are really not cheap.

But in his heart, he was surprised and surprised, he had to do business. Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll make a call and ask."

"Well, it's okay, it's okay, please do." After an hour's drive, Chen Xuan didn't care about the 2 or 3 minutes, so he waved his hand and let him make a phone call.

Soon, Li Li came back with an even bigger smile on his face: "Haha, boss, you are at the right place. We happen to have a 45-year-old sycamore in our factory. The length and width are both greater than 140*40. There are even more. But the price is more expensive.”

Chen Xuan nodded, already prepared for the high price of wood.

“半立方米的白松加上梧桐木.5千加上5万6合计要6万1，看小兄弟是第一次来，拿给你便宜点，6万如何？”

Even Chen Xuan, who was mentally prepared for this price, couldn't help but gasped.

But to be honest, 6 yuan is really not expensive to buy so many.

Seeing that the middle-aged man in front of him was also relatively straightforward, Chen Xuan simply didn't bother to bargain. For a few hundred dollars, in case someone didn't move it well for you, or cut corners to vent his anger, he was the one who lost in the end.

"Oh? That's fine, deal." Li Li didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so forthright, and he stretched out his hand to hold him together in surprise.

After readily paying 6 yuan, Chen Xuan did not choose to carry the heavy-looking wood by himself, but gave the manufacturer their address and asked them to carefully transport it to his home, and he would pay for the freight himself.

PS: Please collect new books, ask for recommendation tickets, and ask for support!

It was originally a sweet text, but it was changed later. Now that I think about it, I should change it again, sweet love, go! !
