A musical instrument is an extension of the body, and it is not easy to buy a suitable one.

It's no problem to buy an instrument online. However, if you want to buy an expensive instrument, it's best to try it out in the store and get a feel for yourself. Even if it's a mass-produced guitar in the factory, there are subtle differences in each one.

Fang Yan didn't want to buy Meihao, he wanted to buy a box piano (acoustic guitar). On Tamsui Street, the most complete shop for acoustic guitars is the Ruined Piano Shop.

The shop is spacious, with wooden floors and bright floor-to-ceiling windows. The walls are covered with acoustic guitars of all grades.

There's a band in the store, and they're all getting old. One plays the piano, the other plays a wooden bass, and the two play the acoustic guitar, and it's a fast-paced Blue Grass tune, and they have a great time. Fang Yan and they watched for a long time.

"Master, how are they playing?" Yang Zhenyu asked in a low voice.

"It's awesome, it's amazing. ”

"They are called the Ruins Band, which has been established for more than 10 years, and they are very famous in our Jiangdong. A shop opened by several of them. ”

At the end of the song, the ruin band looked back at everyone, and the bearded buddy who played the piano was stunned for a moment, smiled, stood up and asked, "Are you a wizard?"

“…… Right. ”

"Oh, I'm glad I will. "A few people greeted each other messily and were very affectionate.

There was one thing that Fang Yan didn't know.

On Tuesday night, in the live broadcast room of Internet celebrity Yang Zhenyu's "Brother Lost Soul's Study Room", he told Yang Zhenyu that there are many people in Jiangdong City who play the guitar better than him.

This sentence quickly spread among the musicians in Koto City, and the musicians all had a good impression of this wizard who appeared out of nowhere. He plays the piano well and is humble. What's more, everyone in Jiangdong who plays the piano thinks that Fang Yan is talking about himself.

Therefore, Fang Yan's reputation is super good.

When the Ruin Band heard that Fang Yan was going to buy a piano, they were overjoyed, and all four of them put down the piano and accompanied him to see the most expensive guitars in the store.

In the clear glass cabinet, there are shiny acoustic guitars, like jewelry in a luxury store. There are also hygrometers and thermometers hanging in the cabinets, giving the guitar the best environment.

A Martin acoustic guitar with a price tag of 89800. Its body is beautifully streamlined, coated with a layer of glossy lacquer, and the clear texture of the wood can be seen, which seems to contain endless energy.

Martin is the most famous acoustic guitar brand, with a history of almost 200 years.

"Rosewood backboard, made in 2011, you try. The bassist said, opening the cupboard.

Fang Yan hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't don't, don't try, I can't afford it." ”

"I didn't say I would buy it, you can play it and try it. ”

Yuan Yuan said, "I'll buy it for you." ”

“……”

Yang Zhenyu and Xia Mo were stunned, this girl is a little rich woman, this tone, a guitar of 90,000 yuan, is like buying a cup of yogurt.

Fang Yan had long found that Yuan Yuan's family conditions were very good. She is usually very simple and doesn't spend money indiscriminately, but she always has a silly temperament that everyone is beautiful. He was afraid that Yuan Yuan would commit another crime, so he hurriedly coaxed on the side: "This guitar is too big for me to play." ”

"Oh. ”

The bearded piano brother slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, I'll make the decision today, I'll give you a 50% discount on this Martin!"

"No, then you will pay for your death. ”

Big Brother Beard: "What's the matter, if you buy our piano, it will be considered an advertisement for our store." ”

"Let's go first. ”

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to go, play for a while. ”

Several people from the Ruins Band surrounded Fang Yan and asked him to play for a while. Fang Yan was embarrassed, excused himself a few words, and asked, "How did you get the name of your band, Ruins?"

The bearded buddy was embarrassed, but he also proudly explained: "It was in the spring of 2003, and I thought that if one day a world war broke out and human civilization was in ruins, then computers, refrigerators, televisions, all plugged in things would be useless." Electric guitar included. So ......"

Fang Yanle said: "So you don't plug it in." ”

"Yes, yes, this shop too, you see, we only sell acoustic instruments. Wait until the end of the world......" said Big Beard. He seems to be talking nonsense, but he is also very sincere and a little yearning.

Fang Yan was terrified.

Out of the ruins of the piano shop, Fang Yan visited more than 10 musical instrument shops in one go.

The three stores of New Metal, Bosom Friend, and Beast are very large and powerful, and they stayed for a while. The rest of the shops are just a walk around.

Yang Zhenyu felt that Tamsui Street used to be an antique street, and when the master bought the piano, it was like buying antiques.

In so many stores, Fang Yan didn't try a guitar, and he didn't touch it. He just silently watched, stared, and admired. How can you buy such a piano?

"Master, if you don't like it, why don't you try it. ”

"You don't have to try it at all. ”

"Why?"

"Too expensive......"

Yang Zhenyu was very unhappy, he felt that Fang Yan was too ink, and he had 15,000 in his hand. He said: "You don't need money to play for a while, and besides, you can bargain." ”

"That's too expensive. ”

Fang Yan was entangled.

He didn't want to try out several expensive guitars in the store, keep the family busy for half a day, and then buy nothing.

There is also the question of price-performance ratio.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The more expensive the guitar, the higher the quality. Fang Yan has always thought that the price of musical instruments has reached a certain level, and the more expensive it is, the lower the cost performance.

By no means so. For example, a 10,000-dollar guitar can score 100 points, and a 20,000-dollar guitar can only score 120 points. Fang Yan walked around and realized that for the extra 20 points, the 20,000 yuan was worth it.

In the face of musical quality, cost-effective wood makes sense.

If you buy a xylophone for 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, the cost performance must be very high, and Fang Yan feels that it is not enough. Looking at several stores, they are all about the same, and they don't have much desire to buy.

"I'm still too greedy. Fang Yan thought secretly. To buy an acoustic guitar for about 10,000 yuan? He was reluctant to pay for it.

The core problem is still poverty.

"You can't buy Meihao?" asked Yang Zhenyu pitifully. In fact, he wanted to buy it himself, and he had always coveted the piano.

"After a while, I'd like to buy you that, Fanta from Mexico. If you don't buy Mehood, it doesn't make much difference. ”

"It's a big difference!"

"What's the difference?"

Yang Zhenyu opened his mouth and couldn't speak. He collapsed and squatted on the side of the road in a daze. This Fang Yan is sometimes so generous that he buys himself a guitar, and he is so stingy that any piano is too expensive.

"Ahhh He wailed.

"Don't buy it!"

"Huh?"

"There's no rush to buy a piano, let's talk about it later. Fang Yan said.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a mild afternoon sun shone on the bricks of the road. On the opposite side of Tamsui Street, a fat man walked over with a heavy piano case.

Fang Yan suddenly said, "His guitar is good." ”

Xia Mo's curiosity came up and asked, "How do you know?"

"The case is very premium. ”

“……”

The fat man was in his 30s, wearing short-sleeved shorts and a pair of slippers, and swaggered away. He walked to the street, looked up at the sign, and walked into the store.

The shop is called "Jubao" pawn shop, and it is a pawnshop.

Fang Yan was very surprised. He followed briskly, swished across the street, and slipped to the door of the pawnshop. There was a loud sound of footsteps, and several people followed.

Yang Zhenyu asked in a low voice: "Is he going to take the guitar away?"

"Probably yes. ”

"Go in and have a look?"

Fang Yan took out a cigarette, lit it for Yang Zhenyu, and said to wait for about 10 minutes.

"What about a while?"

"Act on the opportunia. ”

Fang Yan said, glancing at the pawnshop again. The fat man had already opened the case. What kind of guitar is that? Fang Yan was curious.
