Against the backdrop of a profound adjustment in the global musical instrument manufacturing industry, Vinesmusic, as a benchmark company for technological innovation and quality control in China’s musical instrument industry, has always taken “building a world-class musical instrument manufacturing platform” as its vision, relying on its vertical integration capabilities across the entire industry chain to provide global musical instrument dealers, educational institutions and music practitioners with a full range of musical instrument products and systematic solutions. With its strict quality standards, leading process technology and continuous R&D investment, its Smiger brand has developed into a representative brand of Chinese musical instrument exports, with its products sold in more than 60 countries and regions, serving more than 3,000 professional customers worldwide.
Value construction of the entire industry chain:
Professional support of the R&D system
As a national high-tech enterprise, Vinesmusic has established an industry-leading musical instrument R&D center equipped with a material laboratory, acoustic test room and digital simulation design platform. The R&D team consists of more than 20 senior luthiers, material engineers and music technology experts. The average annual investment in R&D expenses accounts for 8%, and a total of 12 invention patents and 27 utility model patents have been obtained. Through the establishment of industry-university-research cooperation with professional colleges such as the Central Conservatory of Music and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, we continue to transform music acoustic theory into product innovation, forming an efficient innovation mechanism of “demand insight-technology research and development-product iteration”.
Industrial upgrading of manufacturing capabilities
The company has an intelligent production base with a total area of 50,000 square meters, equipped with German Homag CNC machining center, Japanese imported automatic spraying line and American PMC wood drying system. Key production links are digitally controlled:
Wood treatment : A three-stage drying process (natural shade drying → constant temperature kiln drying → balanced treatment) is used to ensure that the moisture content of the wood is controlled within the optimal range of 8%-12%.
Body processing : CNC five-axis machining center achieves 0.01mm level precision control to ensure the optimization of mechanical transmission between the neck and the body.
Surface treatment : 7 layers of environmentally friendly paint technology (3 layers of primer + 3 layers of topcoat + 1 layer of protective paint), combined with a fully automatic UV curing line, to achieve a wear-resistant surface with a hardness ≥ 2H
International standards for quality control
Establish a quality management system that complies with ISO 9001:2015 standards and build a full-process quality control network:
Raw material inspection : Wood must pass density test, annual ring analysis and stress test; metal parts must undergo salt spray test (≥500 hours)
Process control : 18 key quality control points are set up, and first piece inspection, patrol inspection and final piece inspection are carried out in each shift.
Finished product testing : Through the self-developed intelligent testing system, 23 indicators such as pitch (error ≤ 0.5 cents), string distance (adjustable 2.0-2.5mm at the 12th fret), and resonant frequency (100-5000Hz response curve) are tested.
All categories of musical instruments product matrix:
Technological breakthroughs in string instrument product lines
Acoustic Guitar
The patented “sandwich” structure technology (solid wood panel + honeycomb structure sound beam + solid wood back) is used to improve the anti-deformation ability while maintaining the traditional tone. Develop subcategories for different performance scenarios:
Performance Series : Selected Adirondack spruce top + Madagascar rosewood back and sides, equipped with LR Baggs VTC pickup system, to achieve the perfect restoration of the original sound of stage performances
Practice series : Made of mahogany, optimized nut design (nut curvature R400mm), reduces string resistance by 30%, more suitable for beginners to practice
Electric Guitar
The self-developed Swiss Tone pickup system is realized through the optimized magnetic circuit design:
Single coil pickup: Alnico 5 magnet, output impedance 7.5kΩ, restore clear and bright vintage sound
Double coil pickup: equipped with ceramic magnets, output impedance 16kΩ, to meet the noise reduction needs of high-gain performance. The neck adopts “carbon fiber reinforcement” technology (built-in 2 carbon fiber reinforcement strips), which effectively resists deformation caused by temperature and humidity changes, ensuring long-term use of pitch stability.
Electric Bass
The innovatively designed Multiscale neck (effective string length 34″-35″ gradient) solves the problem of uneven tension of high and low strings in traditional bass. Pickup configuration:
P/J pickup combination: classic Precision Bass tone base, with Jazz Bass high-frequency compensation, suitable for complex styles such as Funk/Soul
Active circuit system: Equipped with 3-band equalization adjustment (±12dB), supporting -10dB to +20dB gain adjustment to meet the needs of studio-level sound shaping
Classical Guitar
Following the traditional Spanish method, the fan-shaped sound beam structure (5 cedar sound beams) is adopted, and the 0.6mm ultra-thin panel processing technology is used to achieve:
The fundamental frequency response is improved by 15% (65.4Hz-196Hz frequency band energy is enhanced)
The richness of the harmonic series is increased by 20% (the harmonics above the 12th fret are clearly discernible). The string spacing adopts the international standard playing parameters (3.0mm for the treble string at the 12th fret / 3.5mm for the bass string), which is suitable for the fingerboard control requirements of professional performances.
Systematic solutions for supporting products
Guitar strings : Using nano coating technology (coating thickness 5μm), achieving:
Anti-rust performance improved by 300% (salt spray test ≥ 1000 hours)
The tone retention period is extended to 120 days (about 60 days for traditional strings). 8 specifications are available, including 010-052, to meet the tension requirements of different playing styles.
Guitar Amplifier : Develop Class D digital amplifier module to achieve:
Improved power density: 300W rated power and body weight of only 5.8kg
Tone modeling technology: built-in 12 classic speaker simulations (Fender Twin Reverb/Marshall JCM800, etc.) supports Bluetooth 5.0 audio transmission and USB MIDI control to meet the digital needs of modern music production
Musical instrument accessories :
Gig bag: Made of aviation-grade EVA pressure-resistant material, equipped with an internal humidity monitoring system (accuracy ±2% RH)
Capo: Patented gear-engaging structure enables 0.5mm-level precision tuning and supports fast tuning of 7-string guitars.
