Chapter 297 Why is this instrument called
"I have been working for ten years. Later, after entering the mansion, I was not only a carpenter, but also repaired the damaged instruments in their hands for the musicians." One of the old men raised his hand slightly and replied carefully.
After hearing this, I was overjoyed. Finally, I had a professional. Then I was more confident. "Not bad. Since I have made musical instruments, I must also know the general structure of the musical instruments. And the guitar I plan to make you was modified and artistically modified after a long period of research and testing of the Hittite pipa in the Western Regions, making it more suitable for modern performance styles and allowing its speakers to achieve a better resonance effect..."
After a while, the old butler Li Qian appeared at the gate of my courtyard with a happy look on his face. "Young Master, is this the Hittite pipa?"
"Let me see." This young master was overjoyed. He rushed over with a cicada in eight steps. He picked up the musical instrument that appeared in BC and looked carefully. Well, it was really similar to the pipa. However, its speaker was indeed larger than the pipa, and it was in the shape of a gourd. It was completely in line with the characteristics of the guitar's eight-shaped inward curved speaker.
There is also a hole in the middle, and it is a six-string, which actually happens to be a six-string. Moreover, the other structures are not much different from the guitar, but the finger pressure is relatively narrow, and the speaker is still flattering like a pipa, unlike later guitars, which are completely like two round barrels together.
After taking a deep breath, after I tried the audition, a beautiful and brisk song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" flowed out from my fingertips. Although there was still a certain difference between this Hittite pipa and a guitar, the sound played by me was not very accurate and even a little weird.
But it did not prevent the excellence of this music, and the smooth playing and pulling techniques of this young master touched the hearts of everyone present. The sister and Sister Qingxia, who were sitting in the study door watching the fun, widened their eyes in disbelief, and their beautiful eyes seemed extremely exaggerated at this moment.
It was as if I had seen the ugly monster in the bell tower. When I jumped off the top of the bell tower, my body suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Then, all the scars and ugliness disappeared without a trace, revealing the true appearance of the angel.
"Not bad, thank you, the old housekeeper. If it weren't for you, I really don't know when I could explain it to them clearly." After playing the song, I felt very happy and couldn't help laughing. Finally, I had a big killer in my hand.
"Young Master, when did you learn this kind of instrument? I heard from the Western Regions who sell this instrument. Although this kind of instrument seems simple, it is difficult to learn. I look at you, you seem to be familiar with this item, and it seems that you have been using it for many years." The old butler Li Qian came back to his senses.
"Haha, in fact, I have been playing this kind of instrument in my dream for more than ten years. Otherwise, wouldn't I be so relaxed and comfortable?" This young master raised his eyebrows proudly at the old butler Li Qian and walked towards the carpenter.
Li Qian stood there, not knowing what he was muttering to himself, but looking at his shocked and admiring eyes, he admired me, the gorgeous Duke of Qi. Of course, he might also secretly complain about this young master in his stomach and fool him.
"Did you see this? It's this thing. However, the instruments to be made are slightly different from this. For example, this speaker can no longer be made into a beautiful arc on the back. This is not necessary. What I need is that both sides are equally flat, but the borders need to be in such arc..." The young master picked up this Hittite pipa and explained it to them in front of the carpenter with admiration.
Well, it’s different with real objects. Don’t be like this young master just now, the old carpenter is still confused and confused. Now, it only took me less than two quarters of an hour to finish the work. The old carpenter is all understanding and starts making it in an empty room in my yard.
Well, this is a bit more convenient. Although it is a bit noisy, the problem is that there is something wrong. I can come forward to solve it immediately without wasting time. Now what I can't afford is time.
Although I have been playing the guitar for more than ten years, the problem is that I have traveled through time for more than a year and haven't touched it for a long time. Although others can't find it, I still feel that I have some hands. However, just give me two or three days, with the skills that are comparable to those world guitar masters before traveling through time, I can definitely let the local masters of this era see what "The Romance of Love", "Moonlight", and Memories of the Heerhambra Palace"... Well, there are too many, the famous songs in my head can be described as car-mounted buckets.
"Brother, when did you become so powerful? The Hittite pipa can be played directly when I get it. And I have never heard of that song." When this young master returned to the study, his sister stared at me for a while, then he said in a strange way.
"How is it? Do you believe me for me?" This young master proudly raised his eyebrows and smiled at the little girl's movie.
"Yeah, brother, you are the most powerful, but you haven't answered my question yet." The sister said persistently. It seems that such a little secret is simply a gossip that makes her curious. Not only her, but Sister Qingxia next to her also blinked her watery eyes and looked at me with a look of inquiry. She is like my girl and is eager to get the answer from me.
"Isn't this simple? Actually..." This young master coughed twice and prepared to show the ancients. As a result, the girl said sharply: "As long as I can remember, I have never seen you play any instrument, and even the six music in the Six Arts of the Gentleman have never seen you practice it."
Sweat, fortunately my sister interrupted in time, otherwise I would have been too fucked for a while, and it would be very difficult for me to come back. But now I have a headache. My little follower stays with me almost every day. Well, we have to think about it first.
"Actually, you also know that Brother Wei has always liked to learn from the ancients, right?" After I smashed my mouth, I said sincerely.
The sister nodded. "Yeah, this is true. But what does it have to do with your Hittite pipa?
"Why is it okay? Have you never heard of it? I've read the Tang Dynasty... three hundred Han Fu poems, can you chant them even if you can't write them?" I was dizzy and almost missed it. Fortunately, the brakes were in time.
"I read 300 Chinese fu well, and can't write fu, and I can chant it... This statement seems to make sense." After savoring it, Sister Qingxia commented very sincerely. Well, this young master smiled slightly at the girl to express her gratitude for my ideological recognition, in return for a charming and seductive smile.
"Brother, what you mean is that you have seen many people playing Hittite pipa, so although you can't create such music, you know how to play it?" My sister frowned and thought about it, and came to such a conclusion.
"...Well, it's almost the same. For my brother, um, Sister Qingxia, please get some water. This kettle is probably going to burn in the capital." If I want to fool the girl, I must fool the witness Sister Qingxia.
"Young Master, is that kettle full just now Qingxia?" Sister Qingxia said with a confused look on her face.
Young Master Han Ben quickly rubbed his stomach. "Well... Young Master, I'm a little hungry, go get some food.
"Young Master, you didn't have time to use the breakfast this morning, so I put it here. Qingxia brings it to you." Sister Qingxia got up, then took a few steps, took the food box that was kept insulated on the stove, and then opened it, and there was still a faint heat inside.
I was dizzy. Could it be that this girl discovered this young master's trick? I pretended to nodded and looked at the corners of my eyes. Sure enough, Sister Qingxia tilted her head and looked at me with a smile on her face.
"Young Master, just say it, the little lady can't wait." Seeing this young master dazed at the breakfast on the desk, Sister Qingxia laughed faintly, but in the end she held back her smile and said to me in a low voice. "Qingxia also wants to hear how the young master learned Hittite pipa."
"Well, let me tell you very well. In fact, I once saw a description of the Hittite pipa in the book, and in the book, this instrument is called a guitar." This young master racked his brains and finally thought of a good way to fool Sister Qingxia.
My sister and Sister Qingxia were stunned and looked unbelievable. However, under the ease of this young master, a student who studied hard in books seemed to be a nerd and sucked hard there all day long. In fact, he not only understood the books, but also could learn and use the things in the books, such as cooking skills and music.
"Forget it, let's believe you for the time being. Brother, you have to work hard. Otherwise, if you lose, I won't help you in the future." After my sister gestured to me, she threatened me viciously.
Looking at the girl's departure, I couldn't help but wiped a cold sweat and said it was so dangerous. I don't want them to know my true identity. I don't want this to affect my relationship with my relatives.
After looking back, I saw Sister Qingxia still frowning and thinking hard. "Why, Sister Qingxia still has any doubts?"
"Young Master, do you think this kind of instrument is called guitar?" Sister Qingxia looked at me and said, "I wonder what the meaning is?
