  • 大好きな音色の琴の内部構造が初めて分かりました。こんな複雑な工程を経ていたのですね。素晴らしい動画です。ご健康に気を付けていつまでも日本の音色、琴を作り続けて頂きたいです。

    • What makes the "cedar patern" different to produce sound? Why not use other patterns, say just simple straight lines to make it easier curbing the wood?

  • The Koto is not actually a harp, but a zither. The main acoustical wood that it is made from is called Kiri in Japanese; in English it is called Paulownia wood, and is from the Princess Tree, Paulownia tomentosa. Being a very soft wood, Paulownia wood is also sometimes called, "the other Balsa" It is used for making many East Asian stringed instruments besides the Koto.

    • Is He Hardening the wood with the surface burning or is that a way of "staining"?.

      @urbannpa@urbannpa8 ай бұрын

    • @@urbannpa I am no expert on Koto making by any means, but my guess is that it is done primarily for aesthetic coloring / staining purposes, and that secondarily it might also have an effect on the sound as well. I don't think that it is a means of hardening the wood. Many other acoustical woods used in musical instrument making, particularly those that are used for the soundboards of guitars and other stringed instruments, are quite soft. What do you say about that, Japanese Industry? Anata no iken wa nandesuka?
