Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions.There are many types of art.One of all is music.
Here,I want to talk about music instrument.Music instrument can be divided to traditional and modern types.
I want to compare between sape and guitar.As we know,sape is a taditional music instrument while guitar is a modern music instrument.
Pronounced "sa-peh",is a traditional lute of the Orang Ulu community or upriver people of Central Borneo.It is traditionally used by the Kenyahs,Kayans and Kelabit tribes.
A hollow is made on the sape body and about a metre.The sape is a masterpiece of woodcarving.The body of the sape is curved and coloured with colourful jungle motifs because this change in purpose.
Sape had only two rattan strings and three frets.Sape is played during the ceremonies such as marriages,births and harvest times in rumah panjang.
The guitar is modern instrument typically has six strings but four,five,six also exits.Two main types of guitars are electric and guitar and acoustic guitar.Guitar is suitable played in jazz,pop,rock music and also for slow music.
The guitar usually means as to a set of closely related stringed while the electric guitar can have solid,semi hollow,or hollow bodies and produce little sound without amplication.
Acoustic guitars, string vibration is transmitted through the bridge and saddle to the body via sound board.The sound board is typically made of tone.Timbers are chosen for both strength and ability to transfer mechanical energy from the strings to the air within the guitar body. Sound is affected by the characteristics of the guitar body's resonant cavity.
In conclusion, both the modern and traditional music instruments have own specilities.So, we as the new generation must retain the art.
