Pipa is better for Zambian small leaved red sandalwood or sour branch wood

There is no direct correlation between the quality of the material and the choice of a particular wood. The sound quality and performance of the pipa are mainly determined by its manufacturing process and structural design, while the choice of wood is mainly based on different acoustic characteristics and personal preferences.

When making pipa, it is common to choose woods with higher hardness and density, such as mahogany, rosewood, sorrel wood, etc. These woods not only have good acoustic properties, but are also resistant to wear and tear in everyday use.

Zambian small-leaved red sandalwood (blood sandalwood) is also one of the materials used to make pipa in recent years. Its acoustic performance is slightly different from that of traditional lute wood, but it also makes for high-quality lute production.

Overall, when choosing a lute, there are different kinds of wood that can be chosen according to personal preferences and needs. If you prefer a traditional lute tone, you can choose mahogany or rosewood, which is more hard; If you prefer a brighter, fresher tone, opt for a slightly less dense sorrel or Zambian small-leaved rosewood.

Whether it is a pipa or any handicrafts, the red sour branch is always higher than the blood sandalwood, whether it is the new national standard or the old national standard mahogany species, there are red sour branches, and many mahogany classical furniture is also made of red sour branches, and the blood sandalwood is used in recent years to pass off as small leaf red sandalwood, so it is notorious, and he is not comparable with the red sour branch. Therefore, it is better to have a red sour branch.

Hope mine is helpful to you.

Looking at the wood color pattern, it should be true. This kind of clear water sour branch wood pipa is generally three or four thousand yuan. If it is carefully crafted, it should be able to sell for five or six thousand yuan. If the sound is first-class and recognized by the performer, it can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan.

You are good, this is the pipa that the teacher bought for the child, said that it was brought back from the factory, the teacher personally picked it up, asked for 9200, and I don't know what kind of wood it is. Do you know?

Dear, how much did you buy this piano?

It's hard to say that there are thousands of dollars of wood, and tens of thousands of dollars have to be graded.

It should be, the material is a little new, and the color will be darker after a few years.

Mine is a grade A sour branch mahogany, made by Cao Weidong, 40,000

1. Similarities.

The anatomical characteristics of wood such as color, texture and tube hole type were similar between the dye-red sandalwood and the sandalwood red sandalwood, and the density of the dye red sandalwood was close to that of sandalwood red sandalwood.

2. Differences.

The dye red sandalwood has a variety of colors such as red, yellow-brown, orange-red, etc., with a large color difference, some materials are slightly lighter in color and slightly less oily; Moreover, there are many dyes of red sandalwood, and the wood imported from abroad often has bark and complete sapwood.

Dye red sandalwood: Some woods have a distinct pear fragrance; And sandalwood rosewood aroma is not obvious.

The density of the dye pterosandalwood part is less than 1 gram per cubic centimeter, and it does not sink in water; The sandalwood red sandalwood has an air-dry density of more than 1 gram per cubic centimeter and sinks in water.

The first time I met Zambian blood sandalwood was at the end of 14, and I didn't know anything about wood, but as soon as I saw this thing, I knew it was a good thing, why? It's very heavy, looking at the inconspicuous thing, the two of them can't lift it, and then there is a red blood-like thing on the bark, if you look closely, the outside is a layer of skin, and a little bit inside is a white circle of white skin, and then the inside is the real red part. At that time, Zambia** was not very strict about this control, and occasionally the police would come to the door to extort money, and the biggest problem at that time was the transportation problem, and only a few people could transport things back to the country.

I love the Internet, there are also a few QQ groups, accidentally found that someone is buying wood, and this kind of thing is very similar, so after contact finally determined that this thing is selling well in China, and the price difference at home and abroad because of the information is not synchronized, particularly large. Later, by mistake, he also formed a fate with Zambian blood sandalwood. For this kind of wood, we have done experiments, if you take the heart of the tree, it can be sunk, so the density is very large, as for the oiliness, there is a small episode to prove it, in order to avoid the harassment of the Zambian police, part of the time we will load the car at night, once, when the loading was in the early morning, it was very cold, we lit a bonfire on the scattered bark, the fire was very strong, but it was necessary to keep peeling the bark, and then another friend proposed:

We also have a bunch of smaller diameters over there, which can't be loaded for customers anyway, so let's just take them and burn them. Think about it, the customers are old friends, it is not suitable to install it, it is really hard to burn the heating, I thought it was difficult to light it at first, and then I took it and roasted it a little on the fire, and it actually caught up, and it can be seen that the oiliness is also relatively large. As for the color, it is difficult to say, because first of all, there are some similar tree species that are not Zambian blood sandalwood, but surrounding countries, such as Mozambia, such as Malawi, etc., after Zambia's ** strict control, a large number of timber from neighboring countries entered the market.

The color of the real Zambian blood sandalwood is divided into two kinds, one is dark, the face is indeed very close to the small leaf red sandalwood, after oxidation, it is red and black, the color is darker, and the other is whitish, and the material is relatively poor. Whether it is a domestic expert or a scholar, because they have not been to it or have in-depth links, they just post casually about what's going on, which is inappropriate and should be paid attention to.

Your question, these two varieties, small-leaved red sandalwood and Zambian blood sandalwood, are mainly judged from the overall comprehensive evaluation of texture, color, and wood texture, and you must pay attention to the distinction!

The only mistake of fragrant red sandalwood is that it entered China too late, otherwise it would have been compared with Haihuang, Yuehuang, and Indian small-leaved red sandalwood. Rosewood belongs to the red sandalwood category, and Cochined sandalwood belongs to the sour branch wood category, and the grades of both are different. In terms of the stability of the wood, the red sandalwood is better than the acid branch, which is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty used the red sandalwood so much, the wood has a good temper, is stable and does not deform.

In terms of popularity, it is certain that the big red sour branch should be high, after all, the fragrant red sandalwood has only entered China in recent years, and it will take some time to be marketized. But the investment potential, there is no doubt, of course, to choose the fragrant red sandalwood. First of all, in terms of wood performance, it is powerful, similar to Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, and Nanlin has done identification.

Secondly, because there are not many people who know it, its value is currently seriously underestimated, and once the market recognizes it, it is inevitable that it will be sought after and increase in price. The next one in the eyes of the industry is more yellow.

We'll be happy to answer for you.

The longer the red sour branch furniture is placed, the darker the color will become, it will tend to be dark purple, very solemn and beautiful, Zambian small-leaved red sandalwood is blood sandalwood, often used to imitate small-leaved red sandalwood, so in recent years, the reputation is very stinky, ** is also low, so the red sour branch is more marketable.

The best material of mahogany pipa is small-leaved red sandalwood, followed by the old mahogany and sour branch wood, and finally the rosewood rosewood, that is, the new mahogany. Thank you.

Let's look at the materials used in the pipa first. The material of the pipa, in terms of the raw materials of the back plate, is divided into four types: the highest grade, the high-end, the middle gear, and the second gear. The highest grade is to use red sandalwood as the back material, the best timbre, ** the most expensive, at present, the whole piece of red sandalwood back material of the pipa is very few, although there are, but by two or three pieces of red sandalwood material spelled together.

High-grade is to use mahogany 9 as the back material, there are many varieties of mahogany, including the old mahogany (the color is black and red, and it is difficult to buy at present) the new mahogany (the color is light red, most of the mahogany pipa that can be bought on the market is this one) as the back material, the timbre is better, and it is slightly more expensive. The mid-range is made of rosewood and fragrant mahogany, and the timbre is still good, and the sound is moderate. The inferior ones use white wood (such as (hole) wood, etc.) as the backing material, and the timbre is poor, and the ** is the cheapest.

The whole material of the back plate is the best, and the elephant shell is the best. No matter what kind of material is used for the backboard, most of the backing materials are used as whole, and the backing materials made up of several pieces are not pleased. Because of the backing material made of several pieces, when you buy a new one, it will not affect the appearance and sound.

But after using it for a period of time, the traces of the spelling will be seen in the place, and if it is degummed, the sound will also deteriorate. For the whole backing, it is also necessary to see if there are cracks or deformations. How to distinguish the back material of red sandalwood, old mahogany, and new mahogany, you can scrape off the paint with a knife behind the mountain pass and the upper end of the back material, and then use the test method or use the naked eye ** its wood grain and color to identify.

If you don't understand the color of the wood grain of the red sandalwood and will not test it, please choose it with the people who will see it, because the current red sandalwood material is too small, and it is inevitable that there will be shoddy. The materials used for mountain passes, six phases, and phoenix pillows, in terms of cost, are divided into ivory, jade, white horn, black horn, aggregate, mahogany, etc. The ** of elephant shellfish is the most expensive, and the cost of mahogany is the cheapest.

There are several kinds of head flowers, such as ivory, jade, and aggregate. There are several types of cherishes, such as ivory, red sandalwood, boxwood, and mahogany.

Old mahogany, sandalwood, and sorrel wood are all commonly used woods for high-grade pipa.

The best is of course the small leaf red sandalwood, but it is very expensive and difficult to buy the real one. (Generally good at least 8w).

If you just start learning to buy a safflower pear, it's good, if you think it's not good, you can buy a sour branch wood.

Nowadays, many masters will use red sandalwood instead of sour branch wood to make pipa.
