In addition to reducing the weight, digging the cavity will also have obvious changes in timbre, and the sound will be more transparent than the piano without the cavity.
Here, I will talk about the * * * vocal cavity of lp mentioned by lz and the * * * vocal cavity of ls, which may be misunderstood.
Although lp dug a cavity, it was still dug out of a piece of wood. The size of the cavity is limited, and it will not be much more than the slimming hole. The timbre of physical guitar still belongs to the category of physical guitar.
BB king's piano mentioned by ls belongs to jazz piano. Generally speaking, jazz piano is a hollow or semi-hollow guitar. Compared with the piano hollowed out by lp, its * * cavity can be said to be a real * * cavity. Jazz piano is very similar to acoustic guitar. The piano body consists of a back plate and side plates, not a piece of wood. The excavated timbre is quite different from that of the solid electric guitar.
It is worth noting that there will also be lp-shaped jazz pianos, so it is necessary to pay attention to distinguish them from ordinary jazz pianos, because they are hollow and lighter, and there will be F-shaped sound holes on the panel (except for signature pianos such as BB king, there is no sound hole).
Generally speaking, the timbre of lp electric guitar will be different whether it is equipped with a weight-reducing hole or a so-called * * * cavity, but it will not limit the style.
However, hollow pianos like jazz pianos are limited in style.
Also, as far as Gibson is concerned, lp now generally has weight-loss holes and vocals (epi should also lose weight to varying degrees). It may be hard to listen to the video, even a piano like Gibson's, because the production year or model is different, the form of the weight-reducing hole and the aria will also change greatly. Even in a physical store, the clerk can't tell which one is the slimming hole and which one is the singing cavity.
So I suggest lz go directly to the music store to choose his favorite piano. You don't need to pay special attention to its internal weight-reducing holes or * * vocals, and the general brand won't change much like Gibson. There will be no obvious difference in timbre of the basic models.
