No ka laau Mora mai ka laau Nato. Ua kuhi hewa kekahi poʻe i ka Nyatoh, kahi lāʻau ʻAsia mai ka ʻohana Sapotaceae (lāʻau legume), no kona ʻano like a me kona ʻano.
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo Nato no nā kīkā ma muli o nā ʻano leo like me ka mahogany ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka uku.
Hiki iā ia ke lilo i ʻāpana lāʻau nani me nā ʻano like ʻole o ka ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula a ʻoi aku ka māmā a me ka ʻeleʻele.
He lāʻau maikaʻi ia no nā mea kani.
Akā ʻo ia ka paʻakikī a ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hana ʻana, ʻo ia ke kumu ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike nui iā ia i nā kī kī lima.
Hoʻohana hou ʻia ia i nā kīkā i hana ʻia e ka hale hana kahi e hiki ai i ke kaʻina hana ke hoʻokomo i nā mea paʻakikī.
ʻO nā brands e like me Squier, Epiphone, Gretsch, BC Rich, a me Yamaha ua hoʻohana a pau i ka nato i kekahi o kā lākou mau kumu hoʻohālike.
Nā hiʻohiʻona leo
Nui nā kīkā maʻalahi i hana ʻia mai loko mai o ka hui ʻana o nato a maple, e hāʻawi ana i kahi leo kaulike.
He leo ʻokoʻa ko Nato a me ka leo parlor, e hopena i ka leo midrange liʻiliʻi. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia e like me ka leo nui, hāʻawi ia i ka mehana a me ka maopopo.
ʻO ka hemahema wale nō, ʻaʻole hāʻawi kēia lāʻau i nā haʻahaʻa he nui. Akā, loaʻa iā ia kahi koena nui o nā overtones a me nā undertones, kūpono no nā papa inoa kiʻekiʻe.
ʻOi aku ka momona a me ka mānoanoa o nā memo kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā lāʻau ʻē aʻe e like me alder.
ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana o nato i nā kīkā
Ua kapa pinepine ʻia ʻo NATO ʻo 'Eastern Mahogany.' ʻO ia no ka mea ua like ia i ka nānā a me nā waiwai kani. Aneane maikaʻi akā ʻo ia nō kahi koho kālā e hoʻohana ai ma kahi o ke kani hohonu a me ka waena waena o ka mahogany. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hana ʻana me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā kīkā.
ʻOi loa ʻo NATO a paʻa loa. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia ma ke ʻano he lāʻau ʻāʻī ma mua o ka lāʻau kino. Ua like ia me ka mahogany akā ʻoi aku ka paʻa a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi.
He lāʻau porous me ke ʻano ʻano ʻano ʻano a me ka palaoa i hui pū ʻia i kekahi manawa. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hana ʻana me ka maʻalahi o ka haehae ʻana i nā hua i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka wā o ka hana ʻana.
Akā paʻa loa a hilinaʻi.
Ma ke ʻano he lāʻau no nā kīkā acoustic, ʻaneʻane he hale laminated ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi no ka mea paʻakikī loa ka nato. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka nui o ka Yamaha acoustics i kahi kīkā lōʻihi ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa.
Ma ke ʻano he lāʻau paʻa, hoʻohana pinepine ʻia no nā ʻāpana koʻikoʻi e like me nā poloka ʻāʻī a me nā huelo, a me ka ʻāʻī holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO wau ʻo Joost Nusselder, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā Neaera a me kahi mea kūʻai aku ʻike, makuakāne, a makemake hoʻi e hoʻāʻo i nā mea hana hou me ka guitar ma ka puʻuwai o koʻu makemake, a me kaʻu hui, ua hana wau i nā ʻatikala blog hohonu mai 2020 e kōkua i ka poʻe heluhelu kūpaʻa me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻopaʻa leo a me nā kīkā.
