Chapter 307: The flute is divided into four grades

Zhang Yanwu, like Ma Di, is a famous flute master in China. Although others are on Treasure Island, they are just a flute artist, but they are of the same origin as Madi, and they are both nourished by the "bowl and bowl cavity" of West China folk music, so the flute style of the two people is similar, and the temper of the people is similar, so they have become good friends. On weekdays, two people are together when they have time, either through the Internet or in reality, and it can be said that their understanding of the flute is on the same level.

How much does a good bamboo flute cost? If this question is asked to ordinary people or flute students, there may be a hundred opinions from a hundred people, but to this extent, they have a relatively clear understanding of this problem. Generally speaking, aside from those amateur shoddy bamboo flutes, professional performance-level bamboo flutes can be divided into four categories in their eyes: ordinary, boutique, superb and treasure flute.

Ordinary flutes, that is, those flutes sold to the outside world, the so-called "master appraisal" flutes. These flutes are often processed by professional technology, the pitch is guaranteed, and the process of master appraisal is carried out, so there is also a certain degree of heat in the timbre, like this flute, in the eyes of everyone, that is, it can barely be played on the stage. This kind of flute, if it is not "blackened", can be won for about 500 yuan.

Taking it a step further is the "Boutique" series. This is not the so-called "boutique" marked in the musical instrument stores, but the master of their opinion, the boutique, the boutique selected from the previous category of flutes, generally speaking, this kind of flute has a better pitch. The pronunciation is also more sensitive, and the timbre is a little better than that of an ordinary performance-grade flute. Of course, if you can identify this kind of "high-quality" grade flute, there are no more than two people in the whole of China who have this qualification. This kind of flute is generally not available on the Internet, only those teachers and students who are close to them can buy it, and the price is expensive, generally more than 1,000 yuan. In fact, this type of flute is still in the category of "ordinary flute" mentioned above, but it has only undergone a further "selection" process by these masters. The price of this flute is higher than that of the previous type of flute. It's going to be more than doubled. It is generally between 1,000 and 1,500 yuan. Of course, this price is also flexible, and if you have a good relationship with the master of the di, it can be cheaper or free. But there is naturally a human presence in this.

If you get to the "Best" series. That's a qualitative change. As a rule. This kind of flute cannot be bought, because these flutes are the most convenient and suitable flutes that those masters found themselves when they were appraising. This kind of flute is encountered, it is a thing that can be found and cannot be found, and naturally it will not be sold outside, and it is generally these masters who keep it for themselves. If you have to estimate it, the friendship price will be two or three thousand yuan.

The last is the "Bao Di". The so-called "treasure flute" does not have a certain standard, only between the thoughts of these flutes. The flute is a handmade musical instrument, and the material is also naturally grown, and cannot be manufactured in batches with modern industrial standards (those flutes that come down the assembly line for tens of yuan are not counted), so strictly speaking, the pitch and timbre of each flute are different. Because of this, when I really encounter such a flute, I feel even more cherished and precious. A really good flute can make the player feel like a tiger with wings and want to say it, and this kind of flute is a "treasure flute" in the eyes of the masters. This kind of flute is really hard to find, and no amount of money can buy it. In the past, there were some like-minded people, with the "Bao Di" gift, will become a good story in the flute world, and if any master gets a Bao Di, will invite many friends to taste together, the name "Pindi", is a beautiful talk.

And now, Zhang Yanwu is holding such an ordinary flute bag in his hand, and his friend Ma Di told him that this bag of flutes is worth "100,000 yuan", and a set of flutes generally ranges from ten to twelve, even if it is at most twelve, the average is more than 8,000 flutes, and this price is simply equivalent to "Bao Di". Although the "treasure flute" is priceless, how much is a musical instrument made of bamboo worth if it is really sold? The so-called "treasure flute", that is, it is rare in the hands of these performers, and it is really sold on the market, and how many people approve of spending so much money to buy a flute?

Looking at Ma Di's look of "you can open it and try it", Zhang Yanwu opened the black flute bag in confusion.

The flute bag is a very ordinary canvas bag, which is very simple, and it only sells for dozens of dollars outside. A really good flute would be packed with this kind of bag? Zhang Yanwu muttered in his heart.

The flute bag was opened, but there were only seven flutes. Zhang Yanwu looked at it, they were C, D, E, F, G, A tunes, and a bass big A, which was far from a set, at most it was just a complete set of commonly used tunes.

Zhang Yanwu's first sight was the workmanship of the flute. In his opinion, this batch of Zizhu's flutes is exquisitely made, the materials are high-quality, and the appearance is excellent. However, he didn't know how much he had seen in the flute, so he didn't show too much surprise. If this bag of flutes can be called a "treasure flute" just by its appearance, then the "treasure flute" is too worthless!

The only thing that surprised him a little was that these seven flutes, except for the big A, the rest were actually one flute. Although the top-of-the-line Zizhu flute does have the advantages of being more labor-saving and more beautiful in timbre than playing the two-section flute, it also has disadvantages such as the pitch will change with the temperature and is not easy to adjust.

With doubts, Zhang Yanwu picked up a Bang Flute in F key.

His masterpiece "Huaxi Narrative Song" was played on the F-key flute, so when he tried the flute, he subconsciously picked up an F-key flute.

The flute is moderately weighty, the opening is even, the head and tail of the flute are wrapped with high-quality natural horns, and there is a Tang poem inscribed at the mouthpiece, but it is the first Zhang Qiao's "Banquet Side General"

Yiqu Liangzhou Jin Shiqing,

The wind is swaying in the river city.

There are old battlefield guests in the seat,

The transverse flute is blown and stopped!

The word is a silver hook iron painting, and the word is a golden iron horse! Although it is only a few two or three lines on the bamboo wall, it has a sense of solemnity! In particular, the sentence "There are old battlefield guests in the seat", between the lines reveals a sense of slaughter of the ancient battlefield, which makes people suddenly feel respectful and fascinated!

"Good word!" Zhang Yanwu is also a person who knows the goods, and everyone is often familiar with Chinese culture, and calligraphy, which is the quintessence of Chinese culture, is naturally studied, and the level of appreciation is not low. The inscription on the flute wall is not new, and there are generally high-end flutes, but most of them are laser engraved, and they don't look interesting if they are the same. However, this word seems to be completely handmade, and this pen power alone is enough to move people!

Of course, this is only in the eyes of Zhang Yanwu, a "half expert", if there is really calligraphy here, everyone will definitely exclaim on the spot when they see this pen!

Like a dragon, like a frightening wind! Although there are few numbers, the pen is endless, like the Yangtze River! This kind of pen power is enough to help one of the world's first-class calligraphers!

Of course, this character was also engraved by Chu Yang himself, and each set of flutes in the "Bamboo Rhyme" series, and the most engraved poems were completed by him. Although Chu Yang is not a master of calligraphy, he does not deliberately copy any of the works when he writes, but integrates the rhythm of music into the strokes to directly outline the artistic conception of the poem.

For example, in this poem "Banquet Border General", when Chu Yang inscribed the poem, he naturally had in his mind the scene of the ancient border fortress battlefield, and this kind of artistic conception was naturally born in his pen!

"Don't just look at the words, of course Chu Yang's words are good, it's not too late to read them slowly if you have time, you blow and blow them first?" Ma Di looked at Zhang Yanwu and urged with a smile. As for this old friend's surprise when he saw Chu Yang's words, he was not surprised at all. When he first saw Chu Yang's inscription on the flute, his reaction was similar to him, or even worse than him. Because he knows that Chu Yang's flute is also very good, even above him. It is simply unreasonable for such a person to be able to practice calligraphy to such an extent! As long as ordinary people can make a name for themselves in this item in their lifetime, it is already very difficult, but this guy is so good at both?

Well, it seems that he can sing and win a championship!

In short, when Ma Di looks at Chu Yang now, he has completely regarded him as a monster.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Zhang Yanwu straightened the flute, but found that the flute film had been pasted on the membrane hole, and it looked like it had just been pasted for a few days.

"Hey, why is the inner wall of this flute's blowing hole so messy?" When Zhang Yanwu picked up the flute and was about to blow it, he found that there were many fine small textures on the inside of the flute's blowing holes, which looked very chaotic at first glance, but when he looked closely, it seemed to have some kind of peculiar rhythm.

Raising the flute, he tried to blow the scale twice, and all of a sudden, his small eyes immediately widened!

Smooth, hydrated, smooth and translucent! This random blowing scale has an effect that is not inferior to that after being reverberated by professional equipment!

For a moment, he seemed to suspect that he had misheard! Is this really the sound of dry blowing? Instead of having a sound system in the room pre-installed? (To be continued......)
