工作坊

Atelier-Thierry André - 2024 - with the -78- hollow-body guitar.
“灵感存在,
但它必须找到你
工作。”
巴勃罗·毕加索

目前正在试验将声学喇叭组件作为
吉他:

您读得没错。TriHorn 空心吉他正在制作中,虽然它的主要应用领域是电子领域,但它将使我能够验证与原声喇叭主题相关的某些想法,自然地补充吉他箱的声音。

通过这次实验,我的目标是让吉他的整个系统产生特定于音型中高音的频率输出,即向演奏者集中的明显中音,这对于采样和录音工作特别有用。接下来将找到一种方法来在现场应用中放大这些新声音。

有点钢铁的味道,有点声音——绝对是碗背式的。

最新款(2023 年) Raga 2采用碗背式配置:

Raga 2音箱由22块层压肋条组成,组装在多面可拆卸模具上。

“标准钢弦吉他的背板是柔韧的。当你弹奏音符时,背板会抽气并移动。这样,它就会像蹦床一样给你低音,”他说。“但是对于乌德塔琴来说,双曲面背板使整个音箱具有反射性。它就像一个圆顶或拱顶,给声音带来混响。”

“André 将其比作大教堂的声学效果,大教堂的设计让人们能够听到他们的声音在墙壁上回荡。由于乌德塔没有吉他盒的尖锐边缘,因此声音的共鸣类似于乌德琴或鲁特琴,这些乐器的背面也是圆形的。” JH White, 《Magnifissance》杂志阅读更多

Raga 2采用乳白色银粉漆面。

一般音箱设计:

Maya Bass 的特点是层压的颈翼,以三角形的方式将颈部块与侧面连接起来:

Maya-bass-Thierry-Andre-Instruments

这些颈翼最初由 Steve Klein 开发,用于加固琴颈与琴体的连接处,可稳定吉他的琴颈角度,防止琴颈上抬,并实质上折叠吉他音箱。这种结构特性还具有声学优势 - 即琴颈横向稳定,琴弦的脉动能量得到更有效地保持(琴颈本身的损失更少),从而进一步引导到吉他的琴桥。 (T.Andre)

2025:致力于原声拱顶吉他的一年。

多么美妙的乐器啊,值得去探索、去思考、去演奏!天哪!

结合古典四重奏乐器(小提琴、中提琴、大提琴、低音提琴)周围的所有文化和研究,为原声拱顶吉他发展设定的历史背景,再加上其尚未开发的潜力,真正构成了制作这种乐器的最大挑战因素(对于任何制琴师而言)。

主要材料:红雪松、锆石、黑林巴木、乌木、玫瑰木、铝、染色无花果木、侦察石。

In a word, it is completely an honor, and the archtop is beyond fascinating to study, to view perhaps in an -Andre- version while respecting those who first imagined and refined this icon, and those who play it.

 

Outside my workshop is a cardboard sign -BLUE- that I made to announce with my family (pictured below) my nomination. Notable fact; While picking up some -blue- balloons at the local Canadian Tire, the clerk exclaims: -"The blue guitars! I know that; my guitar teacher told me about it... He's also very good, so much so that his guitar is signed by the best guitarist in the world too"
To think that, in La Pocatière Qc, the Blue Guitars are famous - And, that I couldn't find out (sorry!) who the best guitarist in the world is.

 

Definitely a story to follow!
