各流行琴型之特色與區分 (1)

韻弦樂器首席制琴師Ben Law分享對提琴幾十多年來的心得,今次與你分享各流行琴型之特色。 在本篇先分享 Maggini,Amati 及 Guarneri 之提琴。

Maggini

Giovanni Paolo Maggini琴頭的旋首是四圈,琴板上的飾緣為雙黑白線,還有時將背板邊緣嵌成各種花紋圖騰,顏色選擇淺黃或深棕色。

‘This wonderfully preserved violin shows the last gasps of the venerable Brescian tradition. The form is unashamedly broad and bold, and it has been speculated that these Maggini types were the inspiration for the long-pattern instruments of Stradivari’ – John Dilworth in the June 2003 issue of The Strad 丨 Photo Credit: the Strad

琴身長,琴板較闊,尺寸寬大,側板低,面板做得比背板略厚實,面,背板表面的孤度小而較為坦,面板的弧度從邊緣開始,擴大震動面積,增強音量,演奏時,發音深厚宏亮,傳遠較果好,缺點是琴聲帶噪,不夠細膩,音孔直而長,琴頭較細,與寬大的琴身不相稱,外表不協調。

Amati

Andrea Amati琴頭旋首較大,琴身中部較狹,面板中間較厚,琴角長,面板的弧度中間較高並突然板邊斜下,四邊很薄,靠近飾緣處有較深的凹槽,琴板邊部容易震動,音孔曲而短,音質較Maggini甜美,G、D兩弦的音色更為優美,缺點是震動面積較少,發音不夠宏亮,傳遠較果不佳,適用小型演奏廰使用。

Guarneri

Giuseppe Guarneri ‘del Gesù’提琴的琴頭旋首粗獷有力,琴板孤度不大,平坦,面板中間與四周的厚薄相差甚微,琴箱上部和中部比Stradivari寬闊,中部彎度不深,琴角不凸出,琴身下部較窄,音孔較長,式樣別緻,外觀不精緻,琴板震動強而有力,發音深厚宏亮。
