Piano

"However, a good lacquer surface will become smoother the more you play it, and the tone will get better and better if you choose the right strings," Lan Xuesheng added softly, "As long as the body of the piano is not deformed, this piano can be played continuously. "

"That's it." The young man nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, his eyes under the thick-rimmed glasses were soft and warm, "Then, among these types of violins, which one do you recommend me the most?"

"It depends on your purpose and budget, sir." Lan Xuesheng glanced at the young man rather strangely as she said - this unlucky bastard was the same as Feng Xi back then, and called her "shopkeeper" when she opened her mouth.

Most students would call her "boss" or "sister manager" when they came over.

"If you really want to learn Guqin and have a relatively sufficient budget, then I would recommend you to buy a professional Guqin with a price of around [-]."

"On the one hand, this kind of guqin is relatively good in terms of material selection and production. The lacquer surface may not be the best raw lacquer, but it is absolutely impossible to be the synthetic lacquer of the whole piano. The gray tire is strong, the tone is stable, and it is durable. Not easy to break."

"On the other hand, the Guqin at this price is cost-effective and easy to get rid of - in the future, if you have practiced the piano well and gained experience, when you want to buy a better and more convenient new piano, you can buy it second-hand at a slight discount. Get rid of it, so that you can get back your money and save some space, and it won't be too distressing to replace it."

"That's right, if you are patient and sure that you want to learn the piano seriously, it is not short of two or three thousand yuan, this kind of piano is more suitable for beginners like you." Lan Xuesheng's eyes were calm, "But if you just want to learn it on a whim , and with a modest budget—"

"Then I still suggest that you learn another musical instrument. Guqin is not cheap if you can play it."

"Eh? The store doesn't suggest that I buy a performance-grade guqin worth tens of thousands?" The young man tilted his head and smiled, full of interest.

"Not recommended." Lan Xue said categorically, "The performance-level guqin is delicate, and the strings and body need to be maintained from time to time. It is too extravagant and wasteful to use it as a practice piano. Beginners can't play it well. As time goes by, it will make it easy for yourself. Lost interest in guqin."

"Then... what about the most common practice piano?" the young man asked.

"If you really want to learn, but the budget is not enough, you can consider buying one." Lan Xuesheng calmly said, "But I have to tell you in advance that the material, feel, and timbre of the practice piano are really inferior to those of the piano. Other Guqin."

"With proper maintenance, it can play for a few more years. If it is not placed properly or catches up with rainy weather, and if no moisture-proof measures are taken, it may be deformed and collapsed in a few months."

"Of course, any violin that is improperly preserved may collapse and deform. It's just that the wood used to practice the violin is mostly not old, and the wood is relatively new and loose, so it is extra brittle." Lan Xuesheng explained softly, "In addition, the practice piano must not be played to the end."

"Wait for your piano skills to improve, and you will naturally know what is wrong with this quality piano, and you still have to change it at that time."

"So, I usually only recommend practicing the piano to those who want to play and have fun, but are not sure whether they can learn it, and at the same time, they are not short of one or two thousand, and their minds are vacillating."

"For lovers like this, if you don't let them buy a violin and try it themselves, they are usually not reconciled, but they may not be able to play the violin after buying it, and they are more or less unwilling to let them sell the violin if it is idle. It’s suitable to buy a practice piano that can be played and put it at home, it’s a waste of money and a little less.”

"Hmm... what about the Guqin with several hundred yuan on a certain treasure?" After hearing this, the young man raised his hand to his chin in deep thought, "How about that kind of Qin?"

"Well, that kind is purely a toy. Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a real guqin." Lan Xuesheng frowned slightly, "Most of the hundreds of yuan violin will have problems such as board, anti-finger and rustling. The emblem position is not necessarily standard, and the material of such a guqin must not be qualified, otherwise the labor cost alone may not be able to return."

"After all, after the qin embryo is made, the light gray tire has to be stamped with thick, medium and thin three times. If you miss one time, the qin can't be made-this thing can only be done manually, and the cost of labor is indeed high."

"In addition, synthetic lacquer itself contains formaldehyde. Regular manufacturers will choose better quality lacquer, and at the same time, it will be aired more after painting. long—which in itself is detrimental to the body of the player."

Lan Xuesheng earnestly said: "So, even if it's for the sake of your health, you must not just buy a piano that costs hundreds of dollars on the Internet - you really like it so much, you can save money slowly and have it for yourself later. the piano."

"Pfft." The young man was suddenly amused by Lan Xuesheng's motherly appearance, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I'm just a little curious about why the Guqin on a certain treasure is so cheap, I really want to buy it."

"I still understand the principle that you get what you pay for."

"Uh... In fact, there are many phenomena of high price and low quality in this business, but relatively speaking, if you buy a guqin worth [-] to [-] yuan, the quality will not be as bad as that of [-] to [-] yuan." Lan Xue He described it succinctly.

"But it's possible that it's actually only worth a little over ten thousand."

"The ones in the six-figure range are even more chaotic. It is not uncommon for hundreds of thousands of hands to be similar to 10,000+. However, at that price, most pianos are bought back for collection. This is purely, bought As long as you are happy, you don't have to worry about anything else."

——Anyway, it is impossible for her to buy this kind of piano. If she really wants to, she can do it herself.jpg
"Cough, anyway," Lan Xuesheng clenched her fists and coughed, "This is probably the case with the pianos in the store. Are you sure you want to buy Guqin?"

"Of course you have to buy it," the young man said with a smile. "After all, I really want to learn."

"By the way, shopkeeper, I see that you seem to know a lot about Guqin. May I ask you to help me choose a suitable Guqin?"

"I want a guqin that you said is the most cost-effective."

"Of course it's all right, please follow me." Lan Xuesheng was startled when she heard this, then took the key and led the young man upstairs.

——The guqin is best stored in a cool and dry place if it is not played for a long time. She feels that the hall on the first floor is not suitable for playing the guqin, so she always keeps those pianos in a separate room on the second floor. In the empty piano room.

"It's here." Lan Xue sounded like she was showing off her treasures when she opened the door, and showed the young Haosheng the pianos in her room, and then said tentatively, "Speaking of which, sir."

"May I take the liberty to ask, are you still a student?"

"Well," the young man smiled and lowered his eyebrows, calmly, "Shopkeeper, do you have any questions?"

"No, I just feel that it is not easy for students to save some living expenses, and they are not financially independent before they officially start work," Lan Xuesheng spread her hands unsteadily, "It will be difficult to change the piano in a while."

"In this way... I will try my best to choose a low-priced and high-quality piano for you, so that you can play for a few more years and save money."

"Let me see... ah, this Zhongni style is pretty good——"

This chapter is all about the truth, and the price may be slightly different. After all, different brands have different prices. If you are interested in learning the piano, you can code it.

My personal suggestion is that if you are a student party and don't have a lot of money, you can buy a practice piano, and then change to a better one after work.

If you are not short of money, you can directly buy a beginner piano and play it for a long time.

Don’t just consider professional and performance grades when you come up. One is expensive, and the other is that learning the piano is really tiring. If you don’t persevere or have no interest in learning, the money will be wasted.

No matter how good the piano is, it is really cool for beginners not to be able to play it.

Really don't buy the kind that is hundreds of dollars from a certain treasure, the material may be substandard, it's true, and that kind of problem has many problems, and the bomber can't do it.

Except for the initial stage of learning, try not to use artificial ice strings. Nylon strings can cover up defects too much, and the soft sound is not good and not suitable for practice. Steel strings are a bit painful to play.

Don't use silk strings before you learn it. Nowadays, silk strings generally need to be pulled, and the sound will be stable after playing for a certain period of time. Novices can't handle it well.

The price of a certain treasure piano is generally cheaper than the market, and the benchmark is a certain treasure 1500-2500 benchmarking practice piano, 3-5k for beginners, 5k-1w for professional grade, 1w5-3w for performance grade, those things at the middle price are not necessarily what they are, there are low High quality and high price, and there are many, really many.

At present, there are some well-established guqin brands with complete price tags, you can check them out.

Again, this is not a cheap toy. If you want to learn it, you must think it through and make sure you can bear the hardship before buying it. The piano is quite big, and it can’t be placed anywhere.
