ʻO Raysen Guitar:
He hale hana kīkā ʻoihana ko Raysen ma Zheng-an International Guitar industrial Park, ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Zunyi, kahi i loaʻa ai ke kahua hana kīkā nui loa ma Kina, me ka hana makahiki o 6 miliona mau kīkā. Hana ʻia nā kīkā a me nā ʻukulele he nui ma ʻaneʻi, e like me Tagima, Ibanez, Epiphone etc. Loaʻa iā Raysen ma mua o 10000 mika kuea nā hale hana hana maʻamau ma Zheng-an. Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻopilikino i kāu kīkā kū hoʻokahi a i ʻole ka hana nui ʻana o nā kīkā kiʻekiʻe. He koho kupaianaha a hilinaʻi hoʻi ʻo Raysen guitar.
I kēia mau lā aku nei, aia kekahi mea kani hou e lilo nei i mea kaulana loa--ʻo ka handpan hiki ke hoʻokani ʻia i ka ʻaha mele, ka hana mele a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, ka yoga a me ka ʻauʻau leo e hāʻawi i ka lawelawe leo kiʻekiʻe. Ua hoʻolako ʻo Raysen i nā ʻano unahi a me nā nota handpans no nā hōʻailona nui a puni ka honua no nā makahiki he nui, kahi i loaʻa ai nā manaʻo maikaʻi a me ka ʻike ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku. ʻO nā nota handpans 9-21 a me nā nota mini handpans 9-16 nā huahana handpan nui a Raysen. Hāʻawi pū mākou i ka hoʻopilikino ʻana no nā mea a pau e makemake ana e loaʻa nā handpans kūikawā ponoʻī. No laila, inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi mea hoʻolako handpan hilinaʻi a kiʻekiʻe hoʻi, ke kali nei ʻo Raysen i kou hiki ʻana mai!
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi mea kani e maʻalahi ke pāʻani, ʻo ka pahu alelo kila ke koho maikaʻi loa. Inā he mau keiki ʻōpio a he poʻe ʻelemakule hoʻomaha paha nā mea pāʻani, hiki iā lākou āpau ke lilo i mau "mea hoʻokani pila" maikaʻi e loea ana i ka Steel Pan Drum. Loaʻa i nā pahu alelo kila Raysen nā ʻano hoʻohālike like ʻole, e like me ka pahu alelo kila overtone i hoʻomohala ponoʻī ʻia ma muli o ka handpan, me ka nota abase a me ka overtone octave; he pahu ʻano handpan, me ʻelua mau leo e pili ana i ka octave a pēlā aku. Aia nā pahu kila no nā mea hoʻomaka, nā pahu kila waena a me nā pahu kila premium. He nui nā kala no ʻoe e koho ai!
He ʻoihana mea kani ʻoihana ʻo Raysen e hoʻolako nei i nā ʻano mea kani like ʻole no nā hōʻailona nui a puni ka honua. Hoʻohui kā mākou hui o nā mea hana akamai i nā makahiki o ka ʻike a me ka ʻike loea i kā lākou mau kahua.
