This guzheng is crafted by the well-respected Japanese instrument maker Mitsuya Koto, known for their expertise in making large-size kotos. The Mitsuya family has a long tradition of crafting multi-string zithers, including the famous 80-string koto for Michio Miyagi in 1929. The guzheng is designed by Zheng Art of Hong Kong.
The Model N807 "Mystic Purple" is carved from a 40-year-old Japanese paulownia tree, air-dried for 5 years. The carved-out body seamlessly connects to the bottom board. The back of the soundboard is hand-carved with straight sound grooves, allowing the sound to spread evenly instead of being forced out from the sound holes. The sides are adorned with a Hawaiian Koa frame, adding richness to the tone.
This guzheng is equipped with Dunhuang professional B strings and Xuanguang Indian Rosewood bridges. The sound is full and rich, with an outstanding bass and bright, sweet highs that resonate beautifully. The transition across the strings is even and solid, making it one of the best guzhengs in terms of tonal balance.
The instrument is selected, fine-tuned, and adjusted by Sound of China professionals to ensure the best sound quality.
炫光40年级演奏箏"紫玄"
蓬萊宮闕對南山,承露金莖霄漢間。西望瑤池降王母,東來紫氣滿函關。 ——《秋興八首·其五》杜甫
相傳老子隱退,一路向西,紫氣自東而隨,函穀關令尹喜善觀天象,一見紫氣東來便知道有聖人要來,便出關相迎,懇求老子留下一些教誨,老子便在函穀關寫下傳世的《道德經》。自此紫氣便成了聖人、祥瑞的象徵,紫玄便是得名於此,紫色玄木,瑞氣萬千。
40年级别日本桐木
日本桐木长于寒带,生长速度比一般东南亚地区的树木慢,是故日本桐木的年轮会较细密,用于制箏,其声层次分明,朴实圆润,是每一台炫光箏得天独厚的优势。
桐木的木纹更为每一台炫光箏注入灵魂,年轮周而复始地见证树木成长,纹理伴随着树龄变得更为独特,赋予每一台炫光箏也独一无二的生命。
琴头
全新的专利琴头设计,有效地加大了琴的共鸣及降低了古筝的震动阻扩。进一步提升古筝的音色及性能。专利号:201930467464.7
琴头盒内饰
琴头盒内运用了日本箱根传统技艺寄木细工,运用全天然木材拼出几何图形后,再把木头切割成“种板”,再镶嵌到琴头的盒内。寄木细工和从江户时代起在箱根地区流传,在1984年更被日本当局升格成指定日本传统木工艺,可惜懂得这技艺的人已越来越少,因此每一种用上寄木细工技艺的作品也越来越珍贵。
琴头岳山
岳山选用整条的印度紫檀,经工匠反复调整弧度入榫装嵌,将箏音的传导升华。
琴尾
呼应“璞”的设计意念,还原基本步,不作花巧的雕琢,将木纹纹理自然呈现。
穿弦孔材质以18K黄金铸造,耐用不易褪色。
炫光柱II(玫瑰木)
炫光柱选料用上原条玫瑰木,由箏码制作师根据琴身的体态以人手,手工打磨而成。高级玫瑰木制成的箏码手工精细,顺应木纹一气呵成逐颗打造,大大提高箏码的稳定度及统一性,令箏音徐疾有致,层层推进。
箏炫箏码耐用度高,反复弹奏间也不会轻易磨蚀,强化箏音的稳定度,弹奏时不会走码。
如此讲究的选料及繁复的制作过程虽意味着箏炫箏码的制作成本比普通箏码高出数倍,但为求将箏音升华,我们从不吝啬,不惜工本。
内部结构
炫光箏的直纹结构经过工匠反复测试及调整,坑纹密集细致,比起市面上的一般直纹设计更为讲究,务求令箏音更富立体感。
附赠A字筝架、古筝专用调音器、软包、指甲及其他配件
