The four of them walked through almost half of the musical instrument street, but they didn't find anything they liked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how many stores he visited, Lin Yi didn't see that Yamaha 1998 commemorative guitar for sale. Thinking about it, twenty or thirty thousand guitars, let alone buying them for ordinary music lovers, few people even ask.

And the violin strings that Gu Jie wanted to buy, although they were not as rare as the commemorative guitar that Lin Yi wanted to buy, they were also uncommon items - gold-plated sheep intestine strings.

Speaking of this kind of sheep intestine string, many people may have never heard of it. In fact, human beings first used sheep intestines or sheep tendons to make strings, and until the nineteenth century, sheep intestine strings were the only choice for violin instruments. Later, with the improvement of metallurgical technology, it gradually began to use metal strings and nylon strings.

However, due to the soft tension and soft feel of the sheep intestine strings, the timbre is also full of rich connotations and overtones, and the warm and multi-layered sound color is very close to the human voice, and the sheep intestine strings are still loved by many violin masters.

However, due to the high price and easy breakage of sheep intestine strings, and the great influence of temperature and humidity changes, violin practitioners and general enthusiasts use steel wire strings, and those who are richer will choose better nylon strings, and few people will use this kind of sheep intestine strings.

Therefore, it is not easy to buy good gold-plated sheep intestine strings in these ordinary musical instrument stores.

In the end, a few people followed the instructions of the boss they met before, and came to the largest piano shop on the whole street - Huasheng Piano Shop, it is said that this piano shop has the most complete range of musical instruments and accessories, if you can't even find it here, it will be difficult to find it in the entire Wuyang City.

Wang Feng, who was tall and tall, walked in front of him with a big grin, and Lin Yi and Gu Jie walked side by side in the back, making some comments on the musical instruments hanging in the display cabinet on the wall from time to time. Assistant Xiao Ai was slightly behind them, and followed behind them in two steps, listening intently to the conversation between Gu Jie and Lin Yi in front of her without saying a word.

"Hello, welcome to Huasheng Piano Shop, is there anything I can serve you?" Approaching the front desk of the piano store, a uniformed saleswoman walked up quickly and greeted Lin Yi and the others.

"Does your piano store have Oliv sheep intestine strings produced by the German company Pirastro?" Gu Jie asked with the idea of giving it a try.

The salesman thought carefully for a few seconds and gave a definite answer: "I remember that there seem to be two sets of strings from this series in the display case in the violin area, I don't know if it's the kind you want to buy, please come with me." ”

Several people followed the salesman to the violin area, the salesman talked with the waiter at the counter, and the waiter quickly took out two boxes of strings packaged in golden boxes.

After such a search, she finally found the strings in her mind, Gu Jie was very happy, and immediately asked her assistant Xiaoai to pay the bill and buy these two boxes of strings, and then couldn't wait to find a VIP room to install the strings on the violin. Due to the large extensibility of the sheep intestine strings, it will take several days for the new strings to stabilize when they are installed on the piano, so Gu Jie can't play the violin immediately to experience it, so she has to maintain the violin first with some regret before putting it back in the case.

Lin Yi saw that Gu Jie bought the strings and began to fiddle with the violin, and also felt that his guitar might have a play in this piano shop, so he immediately walked to the guitar area and asked the waiter at the counter: "Hello, is there a 1998 commemorative version of Yamaha's guitar for sale here?"

Hearing this, the waiter turned around and searched the list of goods on the computer on the counter, looked up and said in a regretful tone: "I'm sorry sir, I can't find the model of guitar you said for sale." ”

Lin Yi didn't expect that even the largest piano store couldn't find the guitar he wanted, and replied with some disappointment: "In this way, do you know where it might be sold?"

The waiter checked it again on the computer, and then said: "In the entire Wuyang City, only our Huasheng Piano Store bought two guitars of this series a year ago, but they have been sold." If you insist on buying this model of guitar, you may have to pay a relatively high price, our piano store will help you and the head office to order, but the time may have to wait for a long time, after all, you have to import from a foreign country. ”

Lin Yi heard that he would have to wait for a long time, and he didn't want to spend so much energy on his work. The school's orientation party starts tomorrow night, and I urgently need a guitarist to participate in.

Perhaps seeing the result of Lin Yi's thinking, the waiter gave Lin Yi some suggestions again: "Do you want to buy a guitar of other models? Our piano store recently got a new batch of the latest version of guitars that are also Yamaha, and the sound is great." ”

Lin Yizheng wanted to agree to come down and follow the waiter to see other guitars, and no longer compete with the commemorative version. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Jie, who had made the violin, walked out of the VIP room and approached Lin Yi with his assistant.

"What's the matter, Lin Yi, you haven't found the guitar you want yet?" Gu Jie asked a little strangely, even her tricky strings can be bought here, what kind of guitar does Lin Yi want to buy?

"No, there have been two Yamaha 1998 guitars sold in Wuyang Market, and they have long been out of stock. ”

Lin Yi learned from the waiter that there were only two guitars of this model sold in the entire Wuyang Market, so excluding the one that Professor He bought and collected, there was only one guitar of the same style in the Wuyang Market, and it was impossible to find it.

After getting such information, Lin Yi was no longer confident in buying the original guitar.

"Is this so? so rare?" Gu Jie was also surprised when she heard Lin Yi say this, and then asked curiously, "Why do you have to buy this guitar?"

Lin Yi looked at Gu Jie and asked himself like a curious baby, and he didn't hide it, so he told the matter and the plate. explained that he accidentally broke Professor He's guitar and wanted to buy back the exact same guitar to compensate him.

Who knew that after listening to Lin Yi's story, Gu Jie pondered for more than ten seconds, and then looked up and said, "I may know where the other guitar is." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Yi was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? ”

Gu Jie closed her eyes and thought about it carefully, opened her eyes and looked at Lin Yi, and drew the approximate shape of a guitar out of thin air with both hands: "Is the guitar you want the guitar you played that day, a guitar with a case of rosewood with a shape like this?"

Lin Yi looked at her gestures and descriptions, and was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "That's right, yes, have you seen it anywhere?"

Gu Jie chuckled lightly and pointed at Lin Yi: "This matter is going to start with you." ”

"I saw you finish playing the guitar that day, and then we went to record the song, and when I returned to my grandfather's house, I saw that my grandfather's instrument room had a guitar similar to the guitar you played, hanging on the wall and maintaining it very carefully, I was curious and asked my grandfather, he told me that the guitar was bought by him and Professor He, another music professor in the school, and one of them bought one. ”

After Gu Jie finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile.

"According to what you say, the guitar in my grandfather's collection must be the second commemorative guitar sold by the waiter!

After listening to Gu Jie's explanation, Lin Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Then your grandfather's surname, he is also a retired music professor at Tianhai University?"

"He's not willing to retire, and now he's still teaching at Tianhai University, surnamed Li!" Gu Jie replied without thinking.

"Huh, Professor Li?!"
