Self made sandalwood cover plate
Materials: red sandalwood, also known as East African red sandalwood, black sandalwood, with a density of 1.3; After processing, the color and touch are very similar to rhinoceros horn, also known as rhinoceros horn red sandalwood. Red sandalwood is hard and smooth, and its section is polished to form a bright coating, which looks like a bronze mirror; It also resembles the surface of satin, reminiscent of jade. Because the charm of red sandalwood lies not only in the appreciation of the eyes, but also in the touch of the hand. When it is made, it has a very light sandalwood aroma, and the finished product smells bad.
Design: it is a traditional style. It adds personalized finger holding slots on the upper and lower cover plates to increase the sense of holding. It is convenient to hold the harmonica and is not easy to fall. It is suitable for harmonica of such small size as MBD and MBC.
Screw hole: it can be used for original screws. (wooden cover plate without screws)
Blowing nozzle: the same thickness as the original cover plate. Since the smoothness of the wooden cover plate is only about 90% of that of the stainless steel cover plate, it needs to be adapted.
Cover plate: the internal space is sufficient, which is suitable for no plate above BB adjustment. Probably as low as the a-tone is available, the g-tone is not tested, and the effect is unknown.
Piano butt: fully open, without pillar or pillar. The hardness and compression resistance are enough.
The pictures are taken in real time, and different angles have different effects. Some angles look black, and some angles can clearly see the wood grain. The color difference of almost all angles in the following figure has been photographed. Start with accuracy.
The sandalwood cover plate has just been made and the polished surface is glossy. After a period of time, the oil exuded from the sandalwood itself will become dull and the gloss will decrease. Rubbing with cloth or hands will slowly restore the luster and be more glossy than before. Those who understand sandalwood Buddha beads will understand.
As for the change of timbre, you should have a little ear power. After two years of experience in the owner, the timbre of sandalwood cover plate and stainless steel cover plate is obviously different, and different people have different feelings. My feeling is that the stainless steel cover plate is clear, bright and has a large overtone. Some people will feel a little harsh and noisy, such as the shopkeeper. The sandalwood cover plate has a soft, warm, transparent, deep and thick tone, which is pleasant to listen to.
