Hu Yang looked at the erhu in the old man's hand and asked, "Old man, you have been using the erhu for a while, right? Can you let me take a closer look?"

The old man didn't know why, but he still sent the erhu in his hand over.

He nodded: "It's been a long time, my master passed it on to me, and I've been with me for fifty years." I don't know exactly how long. ”

People who know Populus euphratica have already guessed that it may be an antique-level erhu, right?

Many of the viewers in the live broadcast room are fans of Populus euphratica, and they have seen a lot of this kind of scene and are very familiar with it, which almost means that they have found a treasure.

"Not necessarily, maybe Brother Hu saw that people were pitiful, and deliberately said that it was a treasure, and then bought it at a high price. It's not like Brother Hu hasn't done this kind of thing. ”

"It's true that the erhu is a different instrument from many collectibles, right? As the instrument gets older, the timbre will deteriorate, and the value will decrease. ”

"I also think that Brother Hu is ready to deceive people again. ”

......

After Hu Yang took it, he pretended to observe it carefully.

As everyone expected, Hu Yang spoke: "Old man, your erhu is a treasure." In my opinion, I might as well take it out and sell it to improve my life. Anyway, if you want to perform, use other erhus, it's no problem, right?"

The old man's surprised expression appeared on his face, because no one had ever told him that this erhu was very valuable, and even his master did not remind him.

In the past few decades, he has been using this erhu as an ordinary object, at most because he has used it for a long time and has feelings. In addition, it was left to him by the master, which is commemorative.

If it is really as the young man in front of him said, the erhu is precious, and it really shouldn't be taken out to play, and the damage outweighs the loss.

He couldn't help but ask, "How much can it be worth?"

Seeing Hua Tsai's strange faces, Hu Yang was speechless and glanced at them: "What kind of expression do you have? This is indeed a pretty good antique-level erhu." ”

Then, he told everyone that the most important thing to measure the value of an erhu is, of course, the timbre.

After all, this is a musical instrument, and its main function is to play, so timbre is its most important indicator.

But a good erhu, if you want to produce a good tone, you need good materials, such as better wood, and perfect python skin.

Since ancient times, the ancients liked to collect famous musical instruments, such as some famous guqins and so on.

Nowadays, the erhu is also a work of art that appears in everyone's collection list.

"For example, this erhu with the head of Ganoderma lucidum, it is quite distinctive in shape. Let's look at its material again, it is made of big red acid branches, does not contain core materials, pure two dart materials, and no scars, and the wood grain is uniform and smooth, which is very particular. Only with such materials can the wood be stable and the sound quality and timbre beautiful.

In addition, if you look at the python skin, its python lattice is relatively large and uniform, and you can see that the python skin is very large, and the value is naturally high. Hu Yang explained.

We know that sound comes from vibration, and the right vibration produces a comfortable tone. The influence of wood on the sound of erhu comes from mechanical properties, material quality, water content, etc.

Mahogany grows slowly, the material is hard, durable, dense, and the wood pattern is beautiful. Within a growth ring, there is no significant difference in the size of the cell tissue, the diameter cut texture is straight, evenly distributed, the structure is fine, the density is large, and it is used for valuable furniture and arts and crafts.

Under natural conditions, the longer the old mahogany is stored and naturally dried for a long time, the less elastic it will be, and the less influence the climate and air environment will have on it.

Due to the age, the moisture and grease in the wood will be exhausted, the resistance to deformation is strong, the internal structure will become more and more compact, the hardness and specific gravity will be higher and higher, and the wood will show a unique metallic sound when struck, which is one of the best woods for making erhu, which belongs to the high-end category.

As for the tartan skin, the best python skin is selected, which is specially treated to stabilize its tension and evenly pull the leather apart, remove the meat and oil from the skin to make the skin surface even, and make its vibration even.

After such an explanation, even if you are not an expert, you seem to understand.

Hu Yang answered the old man's question just now, he thought for a while, and said: "As for how much it is worth, I think it starts at 500,000 yuan! Specifically, it depends on the buyer." The collection of erhu, I remember that a few years ago, there was a handful, in terms of maintenance, it may be a little better than yours, and some people paid millions of dollars to buy it. ”

When the old man and the others heard this, they were shocked and couldn't help but lose their temper.

More than 500,000 yuan is a very big fortune for them. They have been performing on the street everywhere over the years, and they seem to have made some money, but they have never saved any money, and they really have to eat for more than a dozen people in the acrobatic troupe, and their lives are not easy.

With these hundreds of thousands, they no longer have to worry about bad weather, no income if they don't go out to perform, and worry about the expenses of their big family.

Especially if you have an extra child, you have to consider providing her with education, etc.

This time, there is no need for everyone to remind you, the old man also has to take care of this erhu. The best way is to sell it out, as Hu Yang said, and get the money in your hands is the safest.

Such a valuable erhu, it is not safe to put it around, let alone being stolen, I accidentally bumped into it, and I was terrified!

In short, it must not be left in the hand.

The old man asked Hu Yang: "Little brother, do you collect erhu?"

Hu Yang shook his head: "I don't collect, but I can help you buy it, and next time you meet a suitable collector, you can sell it out." In your case, I'm embarrassed to make a profit. If you're willing to sell, I'll pay 800,000. ”

The old man knows that the high price of 800,000 yuan, the young man has already taken into account their situation and offered the highest price, right?

So, the old man didn't ink, and hugged his fists in gratitude: "Thank you for the righteousness of the little brother." ”

With 800,000 yuan, everyone can live better, eat better, and dress better. As for the erhu, as Hu Yang said, he doesn't need a very high-end musical instrument for a street performer, just an ordinary one.

After the transaction, Hu Yang still reminded: "This girl is still young, it's better to let her go back to school and continue her studies!"

In fact, the old man also has this kind of plan, so when training, performing, etc., he is deliberately very strict, just to make her unable to persevere, and she actively wants to go back to study.

"Don't worry, little brother, I know, old man. ”

Subsequently, everyone said goodbye to each other, and after leaving, Andy couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hu, is this really worth so much?"

Yes, there are still people who don't believe it.

Hu Yang rolled his eyes: "Am I full?" However, 800,000 yuan is not easy to sell, and the price is already a little inflated. ”
