The restaurant that Qi Feng booked for his old friends was in a well-known restaurant not far from the Chopin Society.

At this time, it was time for dinner, and when everyone walked into the restaurant, the lobby was already a little lively.

Qi Feng led everyone straight to a square table in the corner of the restaurant.

At the table sat a long-haired girl with an Asian face.

The girl looked like she had been waiting for a long time, and she was already smiling when everyone approached.

Several people were puzzled.

Qi Feng stepped forward and hugged the girl, turned to look at everyone and smiled, "Sun Xiaolin, my girlfriend, from Fu Province, violin." ”

The girl greeted everyone shyly, "Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you, Qi Feng often mentions your affairs with me." ”

"I'll go, you won't tell us a word!" Feng Ziyan's gaze turned to Qi Feng, with an expression that you kid was too uninteresting, "When did it happen?"

Qi Feng rarely didn't quarrel with him, and scratched the back of his head: "Last month, last month, didn't I tell you." ”

It turned out that there was such a one, and everyone didn't expect it before, and they sent their blessings one after another.

"Okay, okay, I thank you, sit down, it's making me nervous," Qi Feng beckoned everyone to take their seats, and beckoned the waiter to serve the meal on the other side.

Duan Ran and Qin Jian naturally sat on one side, Feng Ziyan and Zhao Yinuo were also tied together and sat on the other side, Sun Xiaolin and Qi Feng were still standing on the side and watching.

Fang Zongyao and Xia Shu were left.

"Natsuki, sit here. Duan Ran motioned for Natsuki to sit on her right hand.

"Hi. Natsuki sat down as well.

"You also sit, old man," Feng Ziyan shouted.

Fang Zongyao sat quietly on Xia Shu's right hand, he had no choice, he couldn't insert himself between Qi Feng and Sun Xiaolin.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Qi Feng's little couple also sat down.

Four corners of the square table, eight people facing each other.

...

The dish ordered by Qi Feng was not bad, at least there was no beetroot soup.

As the dinner began, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively, and everyone's topic returned to the primaries five days later.

Mealtime.

Qi Feng: "Have you all set your piano?"

Feng Ziyan: "Still struggling, the old party has set 308, right?"

Fang Zongyao: "Well, the repertoire of the qualifiers is going to use Fazioli, and I will look at it again when I get to the main competition, and I haven't tried the new Steinway yet." ”

Qin Jian: "I tried the new 274 yesterday, and I personally feel that the strength and elasticity have changed to a certain extent, the timbre in the middle and high registers is obviously more three-dimensional, and the monophonic timbre is still as good as ever, although the overall timbre change is still not big, but it can be regarded as a great improvement in the old 274." ”

"You'll find out if you try it the day after tomorrow. ”

Qin Jian's words made everyone stunned, after all, the new 274 has not been officially released, but no one has gossiped about other problems.

Zhao Yinuo asked Xiang Qin Jian: "So do you plan to use Steinway in the preliminary round?"

Qin Jian shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, I want to listen to the actual effect of the venue when I try the piano, for the time being, I still prefer CFX." ”

Speaking of CFX, Natsuki also interjected: "Yamah will also release a new CFX in May. ”

"Oh?" Qin Jian looked at Xia Shu suspiciously, "Have you tried it?"

"Hmm. ”

Natsuki nodded, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her face, she coughed lightly, and then said: "Basically, there is not much difference in the feel from the CFX that everyone has played, the touch keys are sensitive, and the sound is clear, but the new CFX uses an independent chord, and the timbre will sound a little different from the past." ”

"Independent chords?!" Qin Jian couldn't help but raise his voice and asked quickly, "Really?"

Everyone looked at Qin Jian suspiciously, they didn't quite know what an independent chord was.

For the vast majority of pianists, piano craftsmanship and tuning are not what they are good at, even professional pianists. It's easy

Xia Shu looked at Qin Jian and nodded again, "I'm sure." ”

Qin Jian narrowed his eyes, if it was really as Natsuki said, this yamah's action would be too big...

"What's the situation?" Feng Ziyan couldn't help it, "What are you two talking about, what is the independent chord?"

Qin Jian thought about it, this problem is really a little troublesome to explain in detail, "To put it simply, the chord is a component in the string tension system, and the general chord lever makes the pressure angle formed between the string and the pillow surface of the string pillow can play a role in stabilizing the string, but under the continuous performance for a long time, the general chord rod will also make some subtle changes in the sound of the string while restricting the string. ”

After a pause, he went on to explain: "However, the independent chord is restrained when braking the strings without problems such as displacement and runout on the pillow surface, and it can make the position and pitch of the string arrangement more reliably positioned. ”

Or at this point, everyone seems to understand something.

Fang Zongyao asked, "That means that the independent pressing plate can maintain the original timbre of the piano all the time, even after a long period of playing?"

Qin Jian nodded.

At this point, except for Sun Xiaolin, four words popped up in everyone's minds for the first time.

"Bösendorfer!" Zhao Yinuo said subconsciously.

Although every pianist has his or her own preferences for timbre, Bösendorfer's timbre is almost universally recognized as the best in the industry when it comes to the texture of a single tone.

Qin Jian sighed, "That's right, but the independent pressing plate has always been Bösendorfer's patented technology. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood thoroughly.

Qin Jian also wanted to know what was going on, the two factories were going to merge against Steinway?

However, compared to this problem, Qin Jian wants to try the new CFX as soon as possible, if the CFX can really solve the problem of light timbre, then he almost no longer has to be biased.

Must cfx.

Everyone sighed, "Duan Ran, what about you?" Qi Feng asked.

"I," Duan Ran looked at Qin Jian, "I should choose Steinway." ”

"Don't look at me. Qin Jian smiled, "Decide for yourself." ”

"Hmph~"

Duan Ran snorted, and everyone laughed.

Qin Jian continued: "Let's try to choose the best in the primary, after all, there is still half a year before the main competition, and there is still room for adjustment during the period,"

"What I'm saying is that we should first try to get into the list of 80 people. ”

Saying that, Qi Feng raised his glass, "Come, I wish us a victorious start." ”

"Come on!!"

...

After lunch, outside the restaurant door.

"Then we'll go back first, and we'll see you at half past three in the afternoon the day after tomorrow at the door of the Warsaw Concert Hall. Feng Ziyan and Qi Feng made an appointment to try the piano, and they were in a time period.

"Walked away. ”

After that, he and Zhao Yinuo called a car to leave.

"Zong Yao, are you going back to the hotel?" Qin Jian asked. "Far away?"

Fang Zongyao snorted, "It's a little far from here, Klin Hotel." ”

Qin Jian nodded, and was turning on his phone to call a taxi.

"That's just right. ”

Duan Ran said and looked at Xia Shu and said with a smile: "Someone has helped you share the fare." ”

...

Qin Jian: ~!

Fang Zongyao: ???
