Huss & Dalton,来自美国弗吉尼亚州的一个手工作坊。总共大概5、6个制琴师在工作,年产吉他300只左右。作坊对于生产的每把琴均有着极为苛刻的质量追求,精选优质材料进行吉他制作,最后的校琴过程由两位制琴大师完成。这个品牌的吉他的音色和构造非常适合演奏一种叫cross-picking的技术,在弗吉尼亚山区,很多吉他手用这种三根琴弦轮替弹拨的方式去演奏兰草音乐。
以下是关于Huss & Dalton公司的介绍:
Huss and Dalton Guitar Company, Inc., began in late summer 1995 when Jeff Huss and Mark Dalton had the idea to build the guitar they wanted to play. While appreciating the traditional design, both had a vision of a guitar that paid homage to tradition while incorporating improvements in the structural design and cosmetics of the steel-string guitar. Jeff Huss moved from North Dakota to Virginia in 1984 to pursue an interest in bluegrass and traditional music. This interest led him to Stelling Banjo Works where, for nine years, he honed his craft of instrument building. Shortly after leaving Stelling, he began building guitars in his home shop. Mark Dalton hails from South Central Virginia where his family has long enjoyed traditional music in the home and community. He began playing guitar at age 13 and banjo by 18. It was at a jam session in the early ‘90’s that he first met Jeff Huss. Mark became employed by Stelling in 1994 and began his career in instrument building. On a visit to Jeff’s shop in the summer of 1995, the two began formulating ideas that led to the creation of Huss and Dalton Guitar Company, Inc.
(译文大概为:1995年夏末杰夫.胡斯和马克.道尔顿想制作他们梦想中的吉他,于是Huss and Dalton 吉他公司成立。他们在吸取的吉他传统的设计精髓同时纳入现代钢弦吉他制造的新视角与新技术。1984年杰夫胡斯为了追求蓝草和传统音乐从北达科他州迁至弗吉尼亚州。这种兴趣促使他在九年的时间里,不断的磨练他的制琴工艺。在定居Stelling后不久,他开始在自己家商店里制造吉他。马克·多尔顿来自弗吉尼亚中南部,在那里他的家庭一直受到传统音乐的熏陶。从13岁开始到18岁他一直演奏吉他和班卓琴。在90年代初他第一次在一个爵士乐即兴演奏会见到杰夫胡斯。马克在1994年开始在Stelling工作,并开始按照自己的想法设置、制造吉他。在1995年夏天店参观杰夫的乐器店后,两人产生了建立乐器公司的想法并最终导致了Huss and Dalton吉他公司创立)
下边奉上两段Huss & Dalton吉他演奏的视频,演奏者是一名巨牛的老外名字和曲名都不知道。。。。使用琴型为Huss & Dalton CM,这把琴的声音我不多做评论,请大家来点评。当然Huss & Dalton公司目前在产的琴型不仅仅只有CM,D、OM、J、等琴型都有生产,不过最吸引我的还是这把CM。
另:视频里的这把琴是我下一个目标,不论是琴的外观还是琴的声音都深深吸引了我。。。。。
