The service of the Taiwan factory is the first high-quality choice, and the Taiwanese brand pangolin is definitely a trustworthy brand!
In 2017, it was the beginning of the story of Taiwan's kalimba. Zheng Qifu, who founded the pangolin brand, discovered this "Angel's Music Box" in a trading company in mainland China, and decided to introduce the thumb (kalimba) at the moment. Taiwan, then it is like a fantasy drifting story of wood‥
At first, no one in Taiwan knew about this South African musical instrument, so we plunged into the world of small wooden boxes.
We learn by ourselves, practice by ourselves, plan by ourselves, design by ourselves, all from a tree to a piano,
In addition, the music teachers in the company help to play and promote, and experience the flow of "starting from scratch" consciousness creation.
MUSIC City was put into operation in September 2017, and the first finished product was developed in December. After many trials and scrapped wood, hard wood is afraid of deformation, and wood that is not hard enough does not resonate very well, the sustain is too short, and even The same wood has different stability, and it is a long-term war of resistance against wood.
Finally, a variety of different wood kalimba were launched. For example, the body of Taiwan cypress (second generation forest) has an indifferent cabin fragrance; the Taiwan Shao Nan, commonly known as Taiwan agarwood, has a stable and honest texture, and the tree grain is at least seventy or eighty years old. The sound quality is solid and even when the microphone is used to amplify the sound, the sound is still concentrated and will not be scattered. The most interesting thing is the Burmese Cinnamomum camphora, which smells of SARS. We actually went to the Forestry Department of Chung Hsing University to test it, and it can only be used as a piano after it is certified that it is Nanyang Cinnamomum.
Although the structure of the kalimba is simple, there are actually many small details that will affect the success or failure of the kalimba:
●Differences in materials
●Combination of accessories made
●Man-made oversight
●Changes in temperature and humidity in the environment
●Assembly process standard
These are the key factors that affect the kalimba.
To this end, we worked hard to find out ways to improve the function and use of the kalimba, using different structures to enhance its stability, and also designed a combination that allows consumers to DIY by themselves, and applied for a patent. In addition to the structure of the kalimba, we continue to experiment with various wood materials, and with the structure we have researched, we can find materials that are both beautiful and sound, suitable for mass production. Of course, all materials and accessories are all made in Taiwan.
And the Taiwan Kalimba created by the pangolin team,
It has a unique "scent cover" in the world.
The small wooden plug is inserted into the sound hole of the piano body, which can maintain the fragrance and life of the wood.
When you hold it in the palm of your hand, it feels like a warm log. When you play it, the aroma of the wood will come out. You can hear the honey-like sound of the piano in your ears. It takes into account vision, smell and hearing. Playing it is like being in a lazy morning forest. enjoy‥
The structural integrity of the kalimba we designed,
Convenient portability, functions in line with actual needs, more affordable for mass production, suitable for popularizing people of all ages, allowing all-age friends to have suitable musical instruments, making life more leisurely and happy.
