Conan: The Mechanic

Twenty minutes later, off the stage of the Domoto Concert Hall.

"What do you think?" a musician sitting in the front row asked his friend next to him.

"Less soul, but... it's also a good assembly line product - a reliable backbone soprano." The friend responded to him. "At least for the average band, she's definitely good enough - of course, I think the lack of soul may be because she didn't fit in? For the Japanese, it's really difficult."

"The performance of violinists also has a foothold in Asia, but there is still a lack of advanced skills. Of course, unfamiliarity with the piano should also be one of the reasons - give her a guarneri violin, and then give her a guarneri violin. Her three months of training, she should be able to reach the top level."

Guarneri violins are more powerful and controllable than Stradivari violins, but at the same time, they are inferior in terms of timbre potential.

"Guarneri, that thing is much harder to find than Stradivari," the musician complained. "There may be 30-50 Stradivarius violins that can stay at the top level now, what about Guarneri? 30 is good. And don't forget, this violin is from 1691, don't To demand the quality of 1716."

Although the playing life of a violin is generally more than 500 years, due to damage, accident or purposeful modification (most of which are over-the-top modifications), there are 500-1000 Stradys in existence. Only about 5% of the varios are considered to still be of a timbre level that is considered to be of the highest quality – although this is already far more than the number of guarneri violins, which are considered to be only one-third the size of the former. One to half - and the violins from the prime of the maker himself (1700-1720, that is, during his 56-76 years), especially violins from the best years such as 1716, will be in status, price and The sound is far superior to its peers.

In contrast, this Stradivarius violin from the Riverside Music Collection was from 1691, and was not in its best year—the style of the Stradivarius is not set in stone, but has gone through. Changed several times. In 1684, after the death of his mentor, Nicola Amati (whose grandfather was the inventor of the modern violin and made smaller violins), he started experimenting with changes to the violin. During the period 1685-1690, his work still retains the character of the Amati family to a considerable extent, but from 1690 onwards he began to repeatedly modify it.

Beginning in 1690, he began to experiment with violin widening (length and width) in an attempt to pursue the violin masters of another violin school (Brescia school, Stradivari himself belonged to the Cremona school) while preserving the bright tone. Marquini's large-scale violin has the dynamic sense, but in 1692, the width of the violin was narrowed (long and narrow) due to the poor combination effect; in 1698, he chose to give up all changes and restarted the manufacture of the pre-1690. Fundamental violin; in 1699 this reversal was discontinued and replaced by a re-practice of the previous long violin. But in 1700, Stradivari finally pronounced the death sentence for all reforms since 1690, and focused on the old model of the violin, thus beginning his golden age.

Under such repeated changes, Stradivari's violin did not officially enter its peak until after 1700, which also means that the Stradivari violin in 1691 was designed in terms of design ideas and the ability of the maker. It is a relatively experimental product (but it cannot be denied that it is still valuable for concerto soloists)

"Let's not talk about that, I always feel... Mr. Domoto and this Chikusa Lara... some subtleties are not on point?" Instead, the friend began to pay attention to another question. "Is it an illusion?"

"I didn't hear it, it's your illusion - although I want to say so, but you are a pipe organ after all, and you must know more than me as a violinist... You go and ask your peers?" The musician motioned for the other party not to ask. Own.

"He went to the toilet." The friend glanced at the empty seat on the other side, feeling helpless. "But then again, the concert hall here is really interesting, and the toilet is also set up in the entire soundproof space - does Japan still have the service concept of 'even if it is time to go to the toilet, let the guests fully enjoy the concert'? "

"Who knows." The musician shook his head with a smile, not paying too much attention to these things.

…………

Meanwhile, outside the concert hall.

"I'll go..." Fujiwara frowned and looked at the Domoto Concert Hall, which had been caught in a sea of ​​fire. Although the concert hall itself seems to be in good condition, most of the surrounding buildings have been caught in a sea of ​​fire~www.readwn. com~ This... This place is not going to explode and collapse, right? "

"And probably the people inside didn't want the audience to escape alive, maybe even wanted them to be buried here." Qian Yu reminded with a frown. "Pu and Craftsman... Is this a fire festival?"

When Qianyu arrived here, he already knew why when he called Officer Megumi and Conan before, they all showed that the other party was not in the service area-although in principle, the mobile phone signal here should belong to a nearby one. The jurisdiction of the signal base station, but the current situation is that a pseudo base station has been installed inside the Tangben Concert Hall, taking over the communication management inside the concert hall by taking advantage of the platform near the water. And this base station probably uses some exclusive equipment settings, so that all mobile phone signals are imprisoned in the shackles of this pseudo base station, neither can they be sent out through this base station, nor can they be switched to other base stations that are farther away. (Similar to 'Network connected but no signal')

"It now looks like we need to go in from above," Officer Sato's thinking was very clear. "Fujiwara, you go down with me, Chiba, you follow the helicopter to a safer place to stand by."

"At least after you go down, please let the helicopter hover on the rooftop for a while." Chiba rejected Officer Sato's request. "Conan is also below, so I think I may be able to get in touch with him immediately, but the premise is that I need to at least reach the roof of the concert hall, otherwise the signal may not pass through."

Although the mobile phone can no longer be used to contact Conan on the bright side, of course Chiyu has a better way to contact the other party without exposing his auxiliary unit to the Metropolitan Police Department - that is the detective team badge, Conan has always been pinned to his chest.
