Volume 1 Chapter 297 Why is this instrument called?
"I used to work for ten years, and then when I joined the house, in addition to working as a carpenter, I repaired the damaged instruments in the hands of the musicians." One of the old men raised his hand slightly, and replied cautiously
Hearing this, my son was overjoyed, and finally had a professional, so I was even more sure. "Yes, since you have made musical instruments, you should also know the general structure of musical instruments. And the guitar I am going to let you make is after a long period of research and testing of the Hittite pipa in the Western Regions, and has been modified and artistically processed to make it more suitable for modern playing styles, so that its speakers can obtain a better resonance effect......"
Just after a while, the old housekeeper Li Yan appeared at the door of my small courtyard with a happy face holding a flat gourd-like thing. "Childe, this is the Hittite lute, right?"
"I'll see." Ben Gongzi was overjoyed, an eight-step drive cicada over, picked up this plucked instrument that appeared in BC and looked at it carefully, well, it is really similar to the pipa, but its speaker is indeed larger than the pipa, and it is in the shape of a gourd. It is completely in line with the characteristics of the guitar's figure-of-eight incurved amp.
There is also a hole in the middle, and it is a six-string, which happens to be a six-string, and the other structures are not much different from the guitar, but the acupressure is relatively narrow, and the speaker is still relatively flat and round like a pipa, unlike the guitar of later generations, which is completely two barrels together.
Taking a deep breath, after Ben Gongzi tried the audition, a beautiful and light and warm "Grandma's Penghu Bay" flowed out of my fingertips, although because there was still a certain difference between the Hittite pipa and the guitar, the sound played by Ben Gong seemed inaccurate, and even a little weird.
But it does not prevent the excellence of this music, as well as the smooth playing technique of this son, which touched the hearts of everyone present. Sitting in the door of the study and watching the lively sister, Sister Qingxia stared in disbelief, and her beautiful eyes looked extremely exaggerated at the moment.
It was as if he had seen an ugly bell tower monster, and when he jumped from the top of the bell tower, he suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then, all the scars and ugliness disappeared without a trace, revealing the true face of an angel.
"Yes, yes, thank you old butler, if it weren't for you, I really don't know when I will be able to explain it to them." After playing the song, Ben Gongzi, who felt very happy, couldn't help but laugh. Finally have a big killer weapon in hand.
"Gong, Gongzi, when have you ever learned this instrument? Listening to the man from the Western Regions who sold this musical instrument, this kind of musical instrument, although it seems simple, is difficult to learn, but you seem to be familiar with this thing, as if you have been using it for many years. The old housekeeper Li Yan came back to his senses.
"Hehe, in fact, Childe, I once played this musical instrument in a dream for more than ten years, otherwise, how could people be so relaxed?" Ben Gongzi raised his eyebrows proudly at the old housekeeper Li Yan, and walked towards the carpenter.
Li Tong stood in place, not knowing what Lu Dao was muttering to himself, but looking at his eyes full of shock and admiration, it could be seen that he admired me very much, the long-lasting Duke of Qi. Of course, it is also possible to secretly slander this son in his stomach to fool him.
"Did you see it, it's this thing, but the instrument to be made is slightly different from this, for example, this speaker, you can't make it like this, the back is full of beautiful arcs, this doesn't need to, what I need is that both sides are equally flat, but the border needs to be curved like this......" Ben Gongzi picked up the Hittite lute and spat in front of the carpenter with admiration and explained to them.
Well, with the real thing, it's different, you don't have to compare and draw for a long time like Fang Cai's son, this old carpenter is still confused and confused. And now, it took Ben Gongzi less than two quarters of an hour at most, and the old carpenter understood it all and began to make it in an empty room in my little courtyard.
Well, it's a little more convenient, although it's a bit noisy, but the problem is that if there is a problem, Ben Gongzi can come forward to solve it immediately, and there is no need to waste time running around, and now the most I can't afford to waste is time.
Although I have been playing the guitar for more than ten years, the problem is that Ben Gongzi has been crossing for more than a year, and he has not touched it for a long time, although others can't find it, but I still feel that some hands are raw, but as long as I am given two or three days, with my son can use the skills comparable to those guitar masters in the world before crossing over, I can definitely let the local veterans of this era see what is called "Romance of Love", what is called "Moonlight", and what is called "Memories of the Helehambra Palace"...... Well, there are too many, the famous songs in my son's head can be described as the amount of buckets in the car.
"Brother, when did you become so powerful? Actually, the Hittite lute can be played directly when I get it in my hand, and I have never heard of that song. "When my son returned to the study, my sister stared at me for a long time, and then I wondered.
"How is it, do you believe in your brother?" Ben Gongzi proudly raised his eyebrows at this little girl and smiled.
"Well, brother, you're the best, but you haven't answered my question yet." My sister is very persistent. It seems that such a little secret is simply a very curious gossip for her, not only her, but Sister Qingxia next to her also blinked and looked at me with watery eyes and a hint of inquiry. She was like my sister, eager to get answers from me.
"Isn't that easy? In fact, back then...... "Ben Gongzi Yu coughed twice and prepared to put the ancients." As a result, the girl said very sharply: "Since I can remember, I haven't seen you play any kind of musical instrument, even the six music in the six arts of the gentleman, and I haven't seen you practice." ”
Khan, fortunately, my sister interjected in time, otherwise my son would have flickered too much for a while, and it was really rare for me to flicker back, but now I also have a bit of a headache, my sister, this little heel worm, stays with me almost every day, well, we have to think about it first.
"Actually, you also know that my brother has always liked to learn from the ancients, right?" After this son smashed his mouth, he was very sincere.
My sister nodded. "Well, that's true. But what does it have to do with you, this Hittite lute?
"It doesn't matter, haven't you heard of it, familiar with Tang ...... Han Fu 300 songs, can't you make fu and chant? "I was dizzy and almost leaked, but luckily the brakes were in time.
"Familiar with the 300 poems of Han Fu, I can't make fu and chant it...... This seems to make a lot of sense. After tasting it, Sister Qingxia commented very earnestly. Well, Ben Gongzi smiled at this girl to express her gratitude for my ideological identity, in exchange for a coquettish and seductive smile.
"Brother, do you mean that you've seen a lot of people who play the Hittite lute, so you can't compose that kind of music, but you know how to play it?" My sister frowned and thought about it, and came to such a conclusion.
“…… Well, almost, for my brother, uh-huh, Sister Qingxia, I'm sorry for you to get some water, I'm afraid this kettle is going to burn in the capital. "If my son wants to fool his sister, he must fool the witness Sister Qingxia.
"Childe, that kettle was filled by Qingxia just now?" Sister Qingxia said with a confused face.
Khan Bengongzi hurriedly rubbed his stomach. "Hmm...... Childe, I'm a little hungry, you go get something to eat
"Childe, you haven't had time to use this morning's breakfast, so it's here, Qingxia will bring it to you." Sister Qingxia got up, then took a few steps, took the food box that was resting on the stove to keep warm, and then opened it, and there was still a faint heat inside.
I'm dizzy, can it be said that this girl has discovered this son's trick? I pretended to nod my head, slightly raising the corners of my eyes, and sure enough, Sister Qingxia tilted her head to look at her son with a hint of cunning that seemed to be smiling.
"Childe, just say it, the little lady can't wait." Seeing this son staring at the breakfast on the desk in a daze, Sister Qingxia laughed out loud, but finally held back her laughter and whispered to me. "Qingxia also wants to hear how Childe learned the Hittite pipa."
"Well, I'll tell you about it, in fact, Brother Wei once saw a description of the Hittite instrument in the book, and in the book, this instrument is called the guitar." Ben Gongzi racked his brains, and finally thought of a good way to fool Sister Qingxia together.
My sister and Sister Qingxia froze together, looking incredulous. However, under the clever tongue of Ben Gongzi, a student who reads hard with books, although he seems to be a nerd who holds books all day long and gnaws there, in fact, he not only understands books, but can even learn to use the things in books, such as cooking skills, and music.
"Forget it, let's believe you for the time being, anyway, brother, you have to work hard, otherwise, if you lose, hmph, I won't help you in the future." My sister gave me a cheering gesture and then threatened me viciously.
Looking at the shadow of the girl's departure, Ben Gongzi couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, and secretly shouted that it was dangerous, I don't want them to know the true identity of Ben Gongzi. I don't want it to affect my relationship with my loved ones.
turned around, but saw that Sister Qingxia was still frowning and thinking hard. "What, Sister Qingxia, don't you still have any doubts?"
"Childe, you said this instrument is called a guitar?" Sister Qingxia looked at me blankly and said. "I don't know what it means?
"Well...... this child's headache, for the ancient women of Shenma are so gossipy, but seeing Sister Qingxia's bright eyes full of curiosity, I had to cheer up, and my mouth rumbled and began to run the fast Guanghan high-speed railway.
