"Are you serious?"

Zhang Xiaomi asked suspiciously.

"Have I ever been serious?"

"Not necessarily, I've only known you for two days. ”

Well, Xia Yu was speechless, he and Xiaomi had really only known each other for two days.

"But if you're serious, I'll help you find someone to ask?"

Zhang Xiaomi took out his mobile phone and raised it.

Don't look at her as a country girl from Luzhou, but her mother is a music teacher at school, and there are classmates who teach in Shangyin.

"Won't it bother people?"

"What is not troublesome, only if you move around more is called an acquaintance, and if you don't move around, you are called a familiar stranger. ”

is worthy of being a child of a rich family, he has understood such a truth since he was a child, Xia Yu didn't expect this.

"I'm sorry for you!"

"Hi, you're a good friend of my brother-in-law, it's right to help. ”

Zhang Xiaomiren patted Xia Yu's shoulder and dialed the phone by the way.

"Aunt Tingting, I'm Xiaomi, are you at school today, isn't my cousin married, sneaked to your school today......"

After the contact, Zhang Xiaomi led Xia Yu to the teaching building, and on the way she told Xia Yu about Aunt Tingting.

Aunt Tingting's real name is Zhu Yanting, she is a lecturer in the Shangyin Orchestra Department, teaching double bass, and her words should be able to give Xia Yu some useful advice.

It's okay to find information by yourself, but the efficiency is relatively low, not only to find information such as sheet music, but also to study what brand of cello to buy.

Suona is directly placed in a certain treasure order, you can't buy a cello so casually, a good Western musical instrument can be worth millions of dollars, too cheap are all kinds of goods, can only be regarded as toys, so the choice must be cautious.

At this time, it is more reliable to listen to the advice of professionals than to search online.

When they came to the third floor of the teaching building, the two found Zhu Yanting's office, she happened to have no classes this afternoon, and they were also a coincidence.

"Aunt Tingting, this is my cousin's friend Xia Yu, suona is very good, I want to learn cello recently, I just brought him to ask you for advice. ”

After greeting each other in person, Zhang Xiaomi introduced Xia Yu to Zhu Yanting and explained his intentions.

"Oh, suona to cello, folk music to Western music, wind music to strings, young man, your professional turn is a bit big!"

"Let Mr. Zhu smile, I am also an ordinary music lover, before learning suona all by their own exploration, took a lot of detours, this time to learn cello, I want to find a professional system to ask for advice. ”

Xia Yu said modestly.

"It's a good thing to love music, let's go to the classroom and talk. ”

The office couldn't talk, so Zhu Yanting directly led the two to an empty classroom.

The big, low, and harp are all in the same classroom, so all three types of piano are found in the classroom, and compared to the cello, the double bass is like a big thing, more than one person tall, and you need to stand or sit on a high chair when playing.

Sometimes it's not good to be too big, the cello is big, and you can carry it around, and the double bass is really no choice, this body is not much more convenient than the piano and harp.

"Come, this is the school piano, the price is not expensive, but the quality is good, you hold the resonance box between your legs, and pull it twice to find a feeling. ”

Xia Yu sat down and began to play the violin as he had seen in the video he had seen before.

Maybe it was because he turned on the music buff before he came, and he quickly found his sense and found the right pitch.

"Yes, you have a talent for learning string instruments. ”

Zhu Yanting's eyes lit up, and she did not skimp on her praise.

"Mr. Zhu has won the award, and I am a beginner. ”

Xia Yu said modestly again, without Buff, he would not have been able to find the pitch so quickly.

"Beginners are also very good, I was much more stupid than you at the beginning, so I'll make a list of books for you, and let's go step by step. ”

Zhu Yanting said that she wanted to find paper and pencils, but where could she find them here!

"Teacher Zhu, let's add a WeChat, you can send it to me directly. ”

"That's right, WeChat is convenient. ”

The two took out their mobile phones and added WeChat to each other, and soon Zhu Yanting sent a long list of books.

"Excuse me, teacher, do you have any good suggestions for the brand of cello?"

Xia Yu continued to ask.

You can look for these books slowly, but if you don't have a piano, can you pull the air?

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and Xia Yu is ready to buy a good piano.

"It's not so much about the brand, it's better to talk about the price, music is still very expensive, there are thousands of yuan for beginners, but tens of thousands for professional pianos. ”

Xia Yu was brought over by Zhang Xiaomi, and Zhu Yanting had something to say, and if she wanted to recommend it, she had to come according to the budget.

"Teacher Zhu, I plan to study hard, or go directly to the major, the price is not a problem. ”

Xia Yu's current sign-in salary is two million a day, it's not too much to spend a day or two of his salary to buy a good piano, right?

To be honest, it's a bit excessive, the students majoring in cello use more than 50,000 pianos, and there are a few 100,000 and 200,000 yuan, but Xia Yu's budget is five or six hundred thousand US dollars, which can buy more expensive antique cellos.

"Xiao Xia, your budget is a bit high, no one dares to offer more than 300,000 yuan for our domestic luthiers, the older generation will be higher, but it will not exceed one million, if you don't lower your budget, you can only go abroad to see. ”

Zhu Yanting said with some embarrassment.

Her own piano is only 150,000, and the rich are too rich.

"Brother, is your catering industry so profitable? I only bought 66,000 pipa!"

It's not the catering industry that makes money, it's the system's dad who gives his strength, Xia Yu is reluctant to spend the money he earns, he is all invested in and expanded, and now he is spending all the wages and bonuses that the system gives him, of course he won't feel distressed.

"I don't think it's okay to spend a little more money on hobbies, and antique pianos are also collectible, as long as they are not fooled, they are very suitable for passing on. ”

Xia Yu explained a little, and in addition, he thought so, classical music should be played with antique instruments, so that it has a soul.

He remembered swiping a video before, in which a YouTube blogger played on a cello worth 5,000 US dollars, 180,000 US dollars, and 1 million US dollars respectively.

At that time, he didn't know much music, but he could feel a noticeable difference just by listening to his ears, and the antique cello bass of a million dollars was nice and fuller.

The other two will be a little more obtrusive, and the 5,000-knife one has the most flaws.

According to the cost performance, the one that chooses 180,000 US dollars is the most suitable, and it is converted to just over 1 million RMB.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, I am going to Europe in a few days, I can go to the local antique piano shop to have a look, and you will help me check it when the time comes?"

Xia Yu continued.
