This place in the depths of a hundred flowers is not particularly famous in Beijing, after all, this is the capital, what kind of places of interest are not?

It's just a long and narrow alleyway, which is nothing in the huge city of Beijing.

But for those who play music, this place is famous!

A few years ago, not long after the reform and opening up, Zhang Xiaowei built the earliest professional recording studio in Beijing in the depths of Baihua, which has also become a holy place for many music lovers.

Li Yange also thought about coming here with his classmates to record a graduation sample in his previous life, and at that time, the depths of the flowers were already famous, and the recording fee was extremely high, so he had to change to a different recording studio.

"Do you want to choose an erhu? Do you want me to recommend it for you? ”

"No need, that's it."

In a musical instrument shop, Li Yange chose a Tiger Hill brand erhu in the end.

"Hey, have a vision!"

The owner of the musical instrument shop, who claimed to be surnamed Zhang, was about forty years old, and when he saw that the guest had chosen this Tiger Hill brand erhu, he knew that the other party must be a professional, and gave a thumbs up and said: "There are dozens of musical instrument factories that produce erhu in the country, and the best ones are the Dunhuang brand erhu of Shanghai Musical Instrument Factory No. 1 and the Tiger Hill brand erhu of Suzhou Musical Instrument Factory No. 1. ”

"The quality of the erhu of these two brands is similar, but the weather in Beijing is dry, and the Tiger Hill brand erhu produced in Suzhou is a little more brittle and better in wood, which is very suitable for the weather environment in Beijing. Yes, the young man is professional enough, then I won't get an axe, this Tiger Hill brand erhu sells at least 230 outside, see you are so refreshing, if you want it, just give 200! ”

“200！ What kind of musical instrument is so expensive! Fang Yuanchao's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that an erhu cost 200 yuan, and the suona in his hand only cost more than 30 yuan, and it was still made of brass!

A handful of erhu made of wood actually costs 200 yuan!

"It's not too expensive."

Boss Zhang glanced at Fang Yuanchao, didn't take his words to heart, and explained: "The best Erhu brands in China are the Tiger Hill brand and the Dunhuang brand, and the two brands have the highest price of more than 200 yuan. If there are other musical instruments, such as the Baihua brand violin in our store, the best one costs more than 400 yuan! Not to mention the piano or something, the cheapest one can't be taken for thousands of dollars! ”

"Okay, aid to the DPRK, the Tiger Hill brand old mahogany erhu is indeed at this price, and it is genuine."

Li Yange has been playing erhu for decades in his last life, not because he bragged, and his professional vision in selecting erhu is even more powerful than that of this Boss Zhang. So as soon as he entered the musical instrument shop, he aimed at this old mahogany erhu, although the price of two hundred yuan was very expensive, it was also within Li Yange's affordability.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, if you want to pull a good erhu, how can you do it without a good erhu?

Of course, if you are a novice, you should choose a cheaper instrument.

"Then there's no need to buy such an expensive one, right? My suona is only more than 30 pieces, and it is still made of brass. ”

Seeing Li Yange pay the boss in the past, Fang Yuanchao muttered, and was still deeply dissatisfied with the price of this erhu, how could an erhu made of wood be so expensive?

Hearing this, Li Yange smiled, but he didn't mean to laugh at Fang Yuanchao, after all, 200 yuan is indeed a lot in this era, even in Beijing, I am afraid it is the salary of a state-owned enterprise worker for two months.

Boss Zhang collected the money, found an erhu box, put the erhu in, and took three erhu strings from the cabinet, a small iron round box, and said: "Look at you so refreshing, send you a few strings, as well as the paraffin wax for maintenance, if the erhu is broken in the future, you can come to us at any time to repair it, it is free." ”

"You still have a lifetime warranty?" Li Yange blurted out.

"Lifetime warranty?" Boss Zhang was stunned, realized the meaning of the word, and immediately smiled: "Yes, it is a lifetime warranty, as long as your erhu is not bad and can't be repaired, you come over with a receipt and promise to repair it for free!" ”

"Then thank you, Boss Zhang!"

Li Yange took the erhu box and the paraffin wax sent, and after saying thank you, he walked out of the musical instrument shop with Fang Yuanchao.

After the two left, Boss Zhang looked at the gate, touched his chin and muttered, "Lifetime warranty? This publicity is good, and then I directly said that I have a lifetime warranty! ”

Lifetime warranty sounds like the boss is at a loss, in fact, it is not a loss at all, the number of repairs of cheap musical instruments is more, the sound quality will inevitably be affected, beginners are a little better, but anyone who is a little basic or professional, absolutely can not tolerate this.

When the time comes, you will definitely want to change to a new one, so when you hear that Boss Zhang's musical instrument store has a lifetime warranty, you will definitely come here to choose.

If it is a more expensive musical instrument with better quality, then it is not easy to break, and the person who buys it back will definitely cherish it very much, just like Li Yange, he himself knows how to change strings and maintain the erhu, unless there is a big problem, there is a high probability that he will not come to repair it.

…………

Out of the musical instrument line.

When Fang Yuanchao was still chattering about how the erhu was so expensive, Li Yange's eyes glanced at an alley diagonally opposite, which was a deep alley with a poetic hundred flowers.

Seeing that he stopped and didn't leave, Fang Yuanchao looked at it, and saw that there was an alley mouth diagonally opposite, and an iron sign with white characters on a red background was posted on the wall, "Deep in a Hundred Flowers".

"What's wrong, Yan Ge?" Fang Yuanchao, who had just arrived, didn't know much about the name in the depths of the hundred flowers, so he was a little curious when he saw that Li Yange had been staring at this place.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Li Yange shook his head and walked in the direction of the school, he wanted to go in and find the Baihua Recording Studio, and by the way see if he could record a tape for Cheng Shaojun, but considering that the time was not early, he would better come back next time.

…

When the two returned to school, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, and the cafeteria was still open.

When I returned to the dormitory again, there was a young man with a Chinese character face and long hair.

Seeing Li Yange and Fang Yuanchao, he got up and said, "Hello, my name is Guo Yazhi. ”

Lao Guo is also here!

"Hello, my name is Li Yange." Li Yange shook hands with him.

Fang Yuanchao, who was beside him, followed closely to introduce himself, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a suona in the open box on Guo Yazhi's bed, and immediately said in surprise: "You also blow suona?" ”

"Yes, I've learned to play suona since I was a child." Guo Yazhi picked up the suona in the box and wiped it with great care.

"Haha, me too, it seems that we can have a common topic in our dormitory in the future! Don't you know that Lao Li just went out to buy an erhu and spent two hundred yuan, my God, I have never touched such an expensive musical instrument in my life. ”

Maybe both of them learned suona, and under their natural favor, Fang Yuanchao used Li Yange to buy erhu and talk about things.

"Okay, aid to the DPRK, the suona in Guo Yazhi's hand is not cheap." Li Yange has been a classmate of Guo Yazhi for several years, and knows that the suona he holds in his hand is made of rosewood by Tianjin Musical Instrument Factory No. 1, and he forgot what the price is, but it must be at least one or two hundred yuan.

"It's really fake!" Fang Yuanchao leaned over and took a look, except for the beautiful color of the wooden pole, he couldn't tell the difference between this suona and his own.

Looking at Fang Yuanchao, Guo Yazhi subconsciously took two steps back and said, "I don't know what the price is, it's an elder who knows that I was admitted to the central sound, so he specially bought it for me." ”

"The elders are definitely not cheap, you see that my suona is no different from yours."

"I don't know about this, but the sound of a better suona is correct."

Seeing that the two sat down to chat so quickly, Li Yange smiled softly, and then looked at Guo Yazhi, who is still quite immature now, and his image is not much different from that of a few decades later, but he lacks the beard at the corner of his mouth.

Speaking of which, the best mix of their 86-level folk music department in the future should be Guo Yazhi, who has held many solo concerts at home and abroad with a suona, and has also won the reputation of "the first blow in the world".
