Baritone guitar: nā hiʻohiʻona o ka mea kani, kumu, hoʻohana, kūkulu

ʻO ke kīkā baritone he mea kani kaula, he chordophone, he ʻano kīkā.

Ua hana ʻia ke kumu hoʻohālike mua e ka hui ʻAmelika ʻo Danelectro i ka hopena o 1950s. Ua kaulana ka mea i hana ʻia ma ka pōhaku heʻenalu a me nā leo kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ʻo ka spaghetti ma ke komohana. I ka manawa like, ua haku nā mea hoʻokani pila o ka ʻāina i ke ʻano pāʻani ʻo Tick-tock bass. Aia ka ʻenehana i ke kope ʻana i nā ʻāpana bass maʻamau e ka baritone e hāʻawi i kahi kani ʻokoʻa.

I kēia manawa, maʻa mau ka baritone i ka pōhaku a me ka metala kaumaha. I ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa leo ʻana, hoʻopaʻa pinepine nā mea hoʻokani i nā ʻāpana kīkā maʻamau a me nā ʻāpana bass.

ʻO ke kīkā baritone kahi hui ʻana o kahi kīkā uila maʻamau a me kahi bass. Hoʻopuka hou kāna hoʻolālā i ka guitar, akā me nā ʻokoʻa. Hoʻonui ʻia ka lōʻihi o ka unahi i 27 ʻīniha, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke pāʻani me ka ʻoluʻolu ma ke kaula nāwaliwali. Hoʻonui ʻia ke kino e hoʻonui i ka resonance a hohonu i ke kani. Ka helu o nā kaula – 6. Hoʻohana pū nā mea hoʻokani i nā subgenres kaumaha o nā metala kaumaha i nā hiʻohiʻona 7-8-string. Aia kekahi ʻano like o ke kīkā baritone acoustic.

ʻO ke kani maʻamau o ke kīkā he ʻano o nā memo haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke kani o ka mana baritone i kahi pae haʻahaʻa. ʻO ke kani kaulana ʻo B1-E2-A2-D3-F#3-B3.
