Chapter 6 Musical Instrument Molding
"Shopkeeper, I need to hit something. Before he finished speaking, Ye Wuxian took out a bag of money from his pocket and threw it on the wood.
The shopkeeper took it from the wood, checked it, opened it, and said, "Barely enough." ”
"Thank you boss. ”
After speaking, Ye Wuxian took out a drawing from his pocket, and the boss took it and looked at it and said, "This looks like a musical instrument." ”
"The owner has good eyesight and is a musical instrument. Ye Wuxian exclaimed, at this time, he is always right to ask someone to say something good, besides, the boss's eyesight is really good, there is no "guitar" in this place.
"Why don't you buy a musical instrument at a music hall in the city?" asked the owner of the woodware shop, puzzled.
Ye Wuxian shook his head and said with a smile: "Boss, you don't know that this instrument is a musical instrument from my hometown, and it is not sold in this place, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to ask you to build one yourself." ”
When the boss heard this, he nodded, but this work of building musical instruments is indeed rare.
The musical instrument that Ye Wuxian built himself, when Sun Tou was arrested, was placed on Xiao Guizi, so he was arrested and imprisoned with the two of them, and the wooden board used to build the musical instrument was also an extremely ordinary wooden board, not even a defective product, so this time he took out all his savings and asked a professional wood shop owner to build a piece of good wood.
"Okay, little brother, take it in three days. The shopkeeper said, without raising his head, and continued to work.
"Boss, I'm in a hurry to use this thing, can you call it now, if the money is not enough, I will personally send it to you tomorrow." Ye Wuxian was anxious when he heard this, and he didn't know what the situation was after three days, how could this be in time.
"Little brother, you don't know, Beicheng College has booked a batch of furniture, and it will be delivered tomorrow, and the construction period is very tight on my side, little brother for three days, I promise to make it for you in three days." ”
"Academy?
"Little brother, this is not something you can ask, the academy is a big job, if you can't wait, then I'm sorry. "Anyway, I'm going to stuff the money bag to Ye Wuji.
Ye Wuxian didn't take it, but continued to ask, "Is it Qiankun Academy?"
The owner of the wooden shop raised his eyes at this time, and looked at Ye Wuxian with a puzzled expression: "Huh, little brother also knows about Qiankun Academy?"
"I'm a student at Qiankun Academy. Ye Wuxian felt that his face was slightly red, he had to lie now, but this was also something that could not be helped.
When the boss heard this, he hurriedly retracted his hand: "Oh, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, it turns out that he is a student of Qiankun Academy, no wonder he is in such a hurry to build a musical instrument." ”
Ye Wuxian didn't speak, where did he know what was so urgent, he just nodded, waiting for the boss to continue to confide more information.
And the boss saw that he didn't speak, thinking that Ye Wuxian was angry, so he said apologetically: "Qiankun Academy has today's entrance ceremony, and tomorrow is the start of classes, and this batch of furniture is for new students, so I am in such a hurry." ”
After getting an important piece of news, Ye Wuxian smiled, waved his hand again and said, "You just have to build this instrument for me, and the furniture is on me." ”
The boss broke out in a cold sweat, this person can decide this matter? I can't believe it, this person doesn't look like a rich and noble person, how can he be a student of Qiankun Academy again? How can he still decide this matter?
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you can build this instrument for me now!"
The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay! Okay! I'll start work!"
Ye Wuxian saw that the boss was busy, looking for equipment, and when the tools were choosing wood, he knew why the boss said that, don't look at this is just an ordinary guitar, if it doesn't take a day to build, it will definitely not be enough, and this is not a case of creating a defective product, if there is a flaw, the day will be in vain.
The boss hurriedly picked out a few pieces of large wood from the store and handed them to Ye Wuxian, "Little brother, what do you think of these pieces of wood?"
There are three pieces of wood in front of me, one is a little whitish in color, one is a little dark red, and the other is a little yellowish, which is extremely heavy, and it can be seen that they are all of the best wood, and the texture is strong.
However, Ye Wuxian shook his head, guitars are generally made of spruce wood, but there are also rosewood, mahogany and other woods, there must be no here, and even if there is, it may not be able to be found.
"Boss, what's the name of these pieces of wood? ”
"The white one is called snow wood, the red one is called green wood, and the yellow one is called single wood, all of which are made of wood for musical instruments. ”
Ye Wuxian knocked a few more times, Xuemu's voice was too dull to be a guitar, Cuimu's voice was too crisp and seemed to have noise, while Shan Mu was moderate, not too dull and just right with too loud.
However, Ye Wuxian had other plans, and walked into the wood shop in person to choose wood.
The owner of the wood shop is too layman, he only knows that these three wood are the materials used to make most musical instruments, but he does not know the secret, so he has to choose the wood himself.
When I entered the store, I realized that there was not even any wood in the store, most of it was wood for furniture, that kind of wood could not be used to make guitars at all, and a piece of wood attracted Ye Wuji's attention, a piece of dark wood, and asked, "What kind of wood is this?"
Ye Wuxian had never seen black wood before, so he was extremely curious about him, and when he beat it, he felt that his voice was dull and there was no sound echo.
The boss shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of tree this piece of wood grew from, I saw it when I went to the south to buy it, and because I had never seen it, I bought it and took a look." ”
"That's it! This one is for the neck. ”
There was no other good wood except this one, so I had to choose, snow wood, single wood and this black wood.
The dull sound of snow wood is suitable for the back of the guitar, also called the back plate, and the sound of single wood is just right, suitable for doing the front, that is, the panel, while the black wood is not silent, suitable for the neck and headstock, the strings transmit the sound to the piano hole, and the sound of the piano hole echoes in the piano, and then feedback out, and the neck is to control the excess sound not to wear to the guitar, this black wood is just right, so the black unknown wood was chosen.
There are no spruce or rosewood-like woods, so I have to settle for these kinds of woods.
Ye Wuxian will measure the size well, cut by the shopkeeper, and the key places will be pointed out by Ye Wuji, such as how to make the piano buttons, the length of the piano columns, etc., after a busy time, it is evening, at this time, several wooden planks are formed in the hands of the wooden shop owner, the back plate, the panel, the piano column, the headstock plus the piano button.
The boss found the top resin bonding, this resin is made of pure nature, with considerable viscosity, this Ye Wuxian agrees, if you use synthetic adhesive, I am afraid that it will affect the sound quality of the guitar.
Finally, under the careful bonding of the wooden shop owner, a complete guitar gradually took shape.
