What is the King of Musical Instruments?

The answer, of course, is the piano.

Not only among Western musical instruments, the piano is the king of musical instruments.

Even among the national musical instruments of other countries, when it comes to piano, there are not many that can compete with piano.

In the past, whether it was a string instrument, a wind instrument, or a percussion instrument, although these Western instruments were not bad, compared to the splendid Chinese culture, many Chinese musical instruments can be comparable to you. Not only can it be compared, but on the contrary, the Chinese national musical instrument is more eye-catching than any series of musical instruments in the world.

However, if you take the piano of the master of all musical instruments, it is different.

Although the history of the piano is only a few hundred years, the piano has become one of the most eye-catching musical instruments in the world with its large vocal range and unique temperament.

"Director, can our piano work?"

"Why not?"

"Director, at the Vienna concert, Mo Bai defeated the piano prince Richard with his erhu. ”

"The Vienna concert is about the art of the whole thing, here it's about the instrument. ”

How do musical instruments compare?

It's certainly not more than your artistry.

The comparison of musical instruments is often based on the advantages and disadvantages of musical instruments.

For example, Western musical instruments have always had a wide range and beautiful timbre, which is a major advantage for them. The Chinese national musical instruments generally have a narrower range and a very strange timbre, especially the Chinese national musical instruments in most cities have only 5 tones. In the area of modern music, China's national music suffers greatly. It's just a pity that just now they didn't think much about the shortcomings of Chinese folk music, and even compared the types of Western musical instruments with those of China.

Looking at it now, this is completely a short attack on the opponent's strengths, and this is completely death.

"Hurry up, move the piano up. ”

Even the flip was hit by Chinese national musical instruments, and the Birmingham director backstage can be regarded as a complete awakening.

He was going to use the piano to defeat all the musical instruments of Huaguo.

No matter how many kinds of musical instruments there are in China, you can only lose here at the piano, the king of musical instruments.

"Look, our piano is up. ”

As soon as the piano was put on the stage on the Birmingham camp, the audience gave a small shout.

"Great, the king of musical instruments is on the field, let's see what kind of musical instrument they compare with us. ”

"Damn, why didn't you bring the piano up earlier, even if you win the opponent now, Huaguo's national musical instruments can be regarded as out of the limelight. ”

"It may be that the students of Birmingham underestimated the enemy before, who knows how the Chinese national musical instruments are so hanging. Don't say it's them, even if it's us, didn't we underestimate the national musical instruments of China before?"

Everyone continued to talk about it, looking forward to the Western musical instrument piano playing the Chinese national musical instrument to the ground.

"What a beautiful string rhythm, it seems that I still like the piano. ”

"Is there any musical instrument in China that compares to the piano?"

"There's a fart. ”

"They don't say that there is a musical instrument called guzheng in Huaguo, which is very powerful. ”

"Awesome bird, the guzheng is a stringed instrument, not the same species as the piano at all. ”

"Oh, no wonder, does Hua have keyboard instruments?"

"Nope. ”

"Why?"

"I don't know why, maybe the Industrial Revolution didn't affect China at that time. ”

That makes sense.

The Industrial Revolution did not affect China at that time.

In that world, under the influence of the Industrial Revolution, Europe's national power developed rapidly, so a series of advanced machinery was born.

The development of mechanical technology is the biggest reason for the popularity of pianos.

However, in China, at that time, there was no concept of what was a machine.

"No, although the machine is also very important in the piano, after all, the piano is also a percussion instrument. ”

"Theoretically, too. ”

"Isn't there a lot of percussion instruments in Huaguo, you see, so a lot. ”

"It's a lot useless, these percussion instruments look hilarious, but they're too one-sided. Some percussion instruments are like drums, gongs, and some of these can only produce one or two notes, and they can't play songs unilaterally at all. ”

"Oh, I see. So, we've won?"

"Nonsense, you think the piano is called the king of musical instruments for nothing?"

The theoretical knowledge of the students at the Birmingham Conservatorium of Music is relatively good.

But alas, they underestimated Huaxia's strength too much.

Although China does not produce keyboard instruments like pianos, it does not necessarily have national instruments like pianos.

Just as the students of the Birmingham Conservatoire were preparing to play the piano to regain lost ground, a musical instrument was also moved from the Huaguo side.

This one looks somewhat similar to a piano, with a boxy shelf.

Dozens of strings were tied to the shelves.

If you think it's like a zither?

No, not really.

This one instrument is called the dulcimer.

The dulcimer, like the piano, is a percussion instrument.

It's just that the piano strikes the keyboard, and the dulcimer strikes the strings.

Because the way the strings and keyboards are struck is different, there is a special prop "koto bamboo" when striking the dulcimer.

There are two bamboos, one for each hand, and when playing the dulcimer, you only need to hold the bamboo and keep hitting the strings.

"Nima, what kind of instrument is this?"

"The sound that comes out is somewhat similar to that of a piano. ”

"And the vocal range is also very wide, I'm going to go, do you want to do this. ”

Seeing that the string rhythm of the dulcimer and the string rhythm of the piano had to fight, the audience was dumbfounded.

"What's the name of this instrument?"

"Impossible, impossible, how can Huaguo have such a musical instrument?"

"Isn't this scientific?"

Of course, many people don't know about the dulcimer, a unique musical instrument in China.

However, for those who know about Chinese folk musical instruments, they have a wry smile on their faces.

That's right.

They almost forgot.

Huaguo does have a musical instrument of the same clan as the piano, and this instrument is called the dulcimer.

Like the piano, the Yang Qin has a bright timbre, a combination of rigidity and softness.

When played slowly, the timbre is like a dingdong spring, and when played fast, the timbre is like a wavey river.

People who don't listen carefully think that the dulcimer is a piano.

Even if it is competing on the same stage, countless audiences have not found any difference between this dulcimer and the piano.

Moreover, the more they look at the dulcimer, the more they feel the power of the dulcimer.

As it is now, no matter what the pianist at the Birmingham Conservatoire learns to play, this dulcimer can keep up.

Although in terms of timbre, it may still be a little worse than the piano, but this difference is basically difficult for ordinary people to judge.

"Sister, their Huaguo is too good. ”

"Even the piano can't help them, how can this compare?"

"Can we only PK each other with classical piano music?"

"Classic piano music is useless, don't you see that the other party's momentum has risen?"

"Damn, it's really, what kind of song is this dulcimer playing, how can it be like Mo Bai playing the erhu at that time, it's so burning. ”

"I don't know, but I'll shake it first. ”

"Shake what?"

"It's out, shake the music. ”

A Birmingham learned to open WeChat, click on Shake in WeChat, select music, and shake.

At this time, WeChat will automatically recognize the song based on the music the user has received.

"Did you get it?"

"Shaken it. ”

"What's your name?"

"Look. ”

Hand the phone to the other person.
