2. Recommended guitar for beginners.
The following is the text. I hope the students can avoid stepping on the pit and stay away from the fire stick after reading it. Buying the first guitar can get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, in order to save trouble, you can skip the first two steps and directly look at the following introductory guitar recommendations (for lazy people).
First, determine the budget:
1, know the grade and price of guitar.
Generally speaking, guitars are divided into several grades:
(1) clapboard guitar (0-500 yuan)
As the name implies, plywood is a kind of synthetic wood board. Its material is mainly wood chips, and plywood is hand-pressed. The only advantage is cheap, and there is no other advantage. Due to the limitation of materials and workmanship, this kind of piano has poor timbre and feel, and even kills the interest in learning piano. The circle is also called "fire stick". Of course, there are some well-made big-name plywood pianos, the price is close to 65,438+0,000 yuan, but the noise is still relatively loud and the sound is not pure. Not recommended here.
(2) Single-board guitar (500-3000 yuan)
That is to say, the panel is natural logs, which is what we call solid wood. Although the side and back are plywood, these parts are not the key parts of the guitar and have little influence on the timbre. It is difficult for non-professionals to tell the difference between timbre and the whole single, which is why I strongly recommend beginners to choose a single guitar.
(3) A single guitar (more than 3,000 yuan)
All-single-board guitar is the highest grade and the most expensive. Its material is logs on the back and side, which takes a long time to make and the process is more complicated. The storage requirements of all-board guitars are also very high. Excessive temperature and humidity will affect the timbre. Suitable for professionals to play and maintain. Novices are not recommended to dabble.
2. Choose the guitar with appropriate grade according to the learning needs and budget.
The price of guitar ranges from several hundred yuan to several hundred thousand yuan. As beginners, how much do we need to spend to buy our first guitar? I believe that after reading the classification of guitars, everyone has a basic understanding. Generally speaking, I suggest buying a single-board guitar. The price between 500 and 2000 will last you several years. Even a novice who is not short of money, I don't recommend buying the whole order, because improper maintenance can easily damage the guitar. When choosing a guitar, the more expensive the better. When you change from a beginner to an experienced guitarist, go after your dream guitar.
Second, choose the piano type
1, learn about guitar wood materials.
The main materials of mainstream folk guitar are traditional wood and high-tech material HPL, so I won't discuss it. First, get a general idea of the wood composition of each part.
Panel: spruce is the mainstream panel, and mahogany is also useful.
Rear side plate: Generally, the rear side plate is made of Sabili and mahogany, with little difference, and rosewood is also useful.
Fingerboard: mostly rosewood or ebony.
Neck: mahogany and Ogman are the majority.
Qin code: rosewood is the majority, and Qin code mainly plays the role of sound transmission, which is also very important.
2, choose the size and barrel type
(1) size
Usually, the height below 140CM is suitable for guitars below 36 inches.
140CM- 150CM is suitable for guitars of 38 and 39 inches.
150CM- 160CM is suitable for guitars of 39 and 40 inches.
160CM- 170CM is suitable for 40,41inch guitars.
Choose a guitar with a size of 4 1 inch or larger above 170CM (42-inch and 43-inch guitars are rare in the market).
The bigger the size, the bigger the speaker, the better the vibration effect and the better the timbre. Personally, if you don't often run around with your guitar on your back, you should choose a 4 1 inch guitar. After all, the sound from the guitar is the main theme, and the sound is king.
(2) barrel type selection
According to the appearance of guitar, the barrel type of folk guitar can be roughly divided into D type, J type, GA type and OM type.
D-type guitar (fearless): The guitar has a large box, good vibration effect, excellent bass characteristics and echo effect. This bucket type is also a popular bucket type, which is very suitable for playing and singing (mainly recommended).
J-type guitar (Jumbo type): From the box, it is the largest of all styles. Therefore, it is also the best echo effect and a wide range. Especially suitable for playing blues and country music.
GA type (auditorium type): Compared with D type, the barrel type will be smaller and the waist curve will be larger, so the vibration effect of * * * is similar, and the sound is more balanced and soft, which is suitable for guitar playing.
OM type: the difference between waist and lower part of this barrel type is not as big as GA, and its timbre characteristics are similar to GA, which is suitable for accompaniment of high-frequency music.
Third, choose to buy a piano.
1. Is it better to buy a piano online or offline?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Some people are uneasy about surfing the internet. Actually, there is no need to worry. On the contrary, personally, online is more suitable for beginners.
First of all, online stores are relatively more transparent than physical stores in terms of price, reputation and quality. It's easy to find an online shop with high sales volume, good reputation and high praise, but it's not so easy to know how a physical music store works.
Although the physical musical instrument store can try the piano and understand the feel and timbre of the piano, it is difficult for beginners to try it out. You don't even know how to play the strings, how to try to feel, you can hear the timbre, but can you hear the quality? If you must go to a physical music store, it is recommended to find some big music stores, preferably accompanied by friends who play guitar.
Two: Introduction Guitar Recommendation:
Here I combine my own subjective feelings, as well as the evaluation of the majority of piano friends, online sales and praise data. According to different prices, I chose some guitars worth recommending to beginners:
Price: 0-500 yuan
The price is basically a plywood, as the name implies, it is a synthetic board. Its material is mainly wood chips, and plywood is artificially pressed. The only advantage is that it is cheap, and there are no other advantages. Due to the limitation of materials and workmanship, this kind of piano has poor timbre and feel, and even kills the interest in learning piano. It is also called "fire stick" in the circle, which is noisy and impure. It is not recommended here.
Price: 500-2000 yuan
There are many choices in this price range, especially at present, the production technology level of domestic brands is very stable, and it is difficult for non-professionals to tell the difference between plywood and veneer, which is why I strongly recommend beginners to choose veneer guitar. Considering that guitar beginners are mostly students, this price is more suitable for the first single-board guitar.
Paragraph 1: Wesson Fei Sen CLR300.
This single-board folk guitar panel adopts spruce single board with Sabri back side board, which has a bright tone style and a layered feeling. High school bass performance is relatively balanced. It is an entry-level single-board guitar with good cost performance. The size of 40 inches is relatively small and exquisite. Even girls can easily hold it.
Paragraph 2: Yamaha F3 10
This entry-level guitar model F3 10 is also one of the most popular models for many years. In terms of material configuration, spruce veneer, back side plate of eucalyptus, paint edge sealing and Nadu wood neck are selected, and the material selection is obviously worse than the two recommended above. Why can such a common material selection configuration still win market share? Besides Yamaha's own brand value, mature workmanship is the weapon to win people's hearts. Yamaha F3 10, an entry-level guitar, can be said to be timbre and the material is quite ordinary. As a plywood guitar, the price is close to 1000 yuan, and the only convincing thing is its feel and piano-making technology. Here, I need to remind you that the imitation piano of Yamaha guitar is quite rampant in China, so you must pay attention when buying it.
The third paragraph: Wesson Fei Sen VZ200
VEAZEN Fei Sen VZ200 series is a classic and best-selling D-shaped barrel-shaped single piano, which adopts spruce panel, Sabri back side panel and rosewood, with exquisite workmanship, and the sizes are 40 inches and 40 inches respectively. 4 1 inch d barrel has clear timbre, excellent sound effect, mellow bass and long sound, which has a good performance in both playing and fingering. The 40-inch OM barrel piano body is relatively small, and the treble is more prominent in timbre, with obvious graininess. Solo and fingerplay are very expressive.
Paragraph 4: Shijia Shijia SF700
Saga Saga SF700C, configuration: spruce panel, rosewood fingerboard, Sabri back, guitar with standard D-shaped body, deep bass, distinct sound levels, and careful attention to every detail. SF series has two painting processes, bright and matte, with rounded corner design. Generally speaking, the cost performance is good, and the timbre and feel are also good.
Price: 1000 yuan-2,000 yuan
Guitars at this price are generally single-sided, with many choices. If conditions permit, it is more recommended.
The first paragraph: Kurt Earth 70
It is a single piano, spruce panel and peach core back side panel. Courtyard guitar is also a first-line brand in guitar industry, and domestic acoustic guitar is more popular. Generally speaking, the sound is bright, the volume and * * * sound are not bad, and it feels very comfortable to hold it. Some small details, such as paint, silk, and the joints of various parts of the piano body are well handled.
Paragraph 2: Wei Sen Fei Sen VZ90
Fei Sen Guitar is a conscience brand welcomed and liked by guitar lovers in recent years. VEAZEN Fei Sen has just launched a brand-new high-end single product VZ90 series, which still continues the consistent style of high quality and high cost performance. This new product, both in appearance details and timbre feel, has leapt to a higher level, and the whole production process is above the industry average. It is a guitar worth starting with. In terms of configuration, the back panel of Sitica spruce covered peach core and the back panel of Sitica spruce covered rosewood are selected. There are four barrel types to choose from, which are suitable for guitar lovers with different needs. If the budget is right, this should be a good choice.
Paragraph 3: Yamaha FG800
When it comes to musical instruments, we can't help mentioning Yamaha, whose products have always been recognized. The more popular ones are the entrance plywood F3 10 and the entrance panel FG800 mentioned above. This is an introductory piano of Yamaha FG series. It inherits the fine workmanship that Yamaha has always pursued, and its timbre is clear and bright, and it can play most styles of music.
Four. Concluding remarks
For beginners, guitars with a price below 2000 are already qualified for the beginner guitar stage. They are all guitar brands that novice guitarists prefer, and they can be bought directly in online flagship stores, at least they are not easy to step on. If you still don't understand, you can leave a message
