2021年5月26日 · A bowl backed mandolin still has a 'guitarish' character (ignoring the double coursing). There are pipa with resonance holes (some historical some modern). I don't think an alternative tuning would be enough to make a guiar sound like a pipa. As I understand it a modern pipa uses nylon strings wrapped in steel so they are similar to guitar strings.

2018年7月1日 · Is it because of the tuning of the strings, what the strings are made of, or the shape of it? Or something completely else? Would it be possible to replicate the sound with a regular guitar?

2020年11月9日 · I'm using Lilypond 2.20 on Ubuntu to engrave scores for the instrument pipa. Slurs with arrow is a very common notation in many east Asian music pieces. It sounds similar to glissando in some degree, but not completely the same. The official Lilypond does not offer this out of box. I found some usable code from a German-speaking Lilypond forum ...

2021年11月13日 · A guitar does not need a sound-hole, actually omitting the soundhole eliminates much of the feedback problems that people who play acoustics in loud environments have been plagued with since the birth of rock.

2016年8月31日 · Indeed, for a guitar that method would work fairly well. Even having to calculate the are of the guitar quite precisely would not be an issue - however, once you do get to the violin family or any more curved instruments, getting the percentage you talk about may not be as simple as described, at least I tend to be off by a lot with such guesses.

2021年4月25日 · I have an Afghani stringed instrument. It has 3 main strings (nylon) along with drone and sympathetic strings. 20 in total. I feel that my rabab is not creating enough sound, especially the echo a ...

2017年6月20日 · My wife plays the pipa, which has lots of awsome frets going all the way down the body, not just the neck, and I say awsome because the ones on the neck are huge chunks of cow horn or obsidian, not just little wires.

2023年8月10日 · Western classical instruments—and most Asian traditional instruments like erhu and pipa—are usually taught mainly by a one-on-one ("master/disciple") structure, with fairly formal expectations ("this is the right note, that is the wrong note") and procedural expectations ("you must practice 20 minutes a day").
