Omniscient and Almighty

   Chapter 139 Audition

   But this is only Xu Guangling's first feeling, and soon, this feeling will be corrected.

People who don’t engage in music usually feel very high when they hear this name, or they don’t know it, but it is actually a place for music equipment management, and the domestic music environment in recent years is actually not that good. Therefore, many piano shops are also operating bleakly.

   The bleak business is still good, and there are not many who have closed their doors.

Then, poverty changed. At the beginning, those who specialized in pianos started to rent pianos, and those who specialized in pianos started a mixed operation. At the beginning, those who specialized in buying and selling started learning classes... and so on. , the list goes on and on.

   Even if Xu Guangling doesn’t know it specifically, he can roughly imagine the situation of the downstream industry chain from the decline of the upstream music production industry.

   In short, the sea is about to dry up, how full can you expect the river to be?

   Therefore, the bleak is certain, and Xu Guangling does not know how bleak it is.

As soon as he walked into this piano shop, Xu Guangling was just like when he walked into the vegetable market and visited those potato stalls after his first dream. He smelled a bleak smell just by "sniffing" with his nose. Look around.

  The floor area of ​​this piano shop is not small, about a hundred square meters, and then roughly divided into two areas by one-third and two-thirds, where Chinese and Western instruments are placed respectively.

Xu Guangling glanced at it casually. On the side of Western musical instruments, there are pianos, guitars, violins, and clarinet. On the other hand, the first thing he saw on Huaxia musical instruments was not the "big pieces" like guzheng and guqin. , they are really not big pieces, not only are they not big, they are even inconspicuous at all, as for the flute, xiao, erhu and the like, they are even more maid roles.

   The most conspicuous thing there, and the protagonist, is a bell.

   That's right, chimes!

   is the kind of big thing with many small clocks connected together. Usually, this kind of thing is only found in museums or exhibition halls, but a piano shop actually has this kind of thing?

  To be honest, even with Xu Guangling's temperament, at this moment, some curiosity could not be restrained. - What is this chime pendulum doing here?

   Taking it as a highlight to attract customers is a bit too big, right?

   Anyway, it is definitely impossible to sell, absolutely no one buys this kind of stuff. Rent, it's also impossible, who would play this thing? Besides, this is a large item, not a small item. If you bump into it casually, even if the piano shop is not afraid, the renter will be scared.

   The owner of this shop has two strokes.

   Not to mention, this chime alone shocked Xu Guangling, and his basic impression of this piano shop that he had just learned from the signboard at the door of the piano shop was dispelled a lot.

   He is half an insider anyway, he can be shocked, and most of the other people who walk into this piano shop are no exception.

   However, it doesn't seem to be of much use.

It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, nearly three o'clock in the afternoon. Logically speaking, it should be the time when there should be a lot of tourists, but Xu Guangling looked at the whole piano shop and saw only seven people. Among them, at least four were still from the piano shop, in other words. , customers, plus Xu Guangling himself, there are only three or four.

   Of the seven people, five were on the side of Western musical instruments, and the other two were right next to the chime bell, and Xu Guangling walked over.

"Brother, what do you need?" The one who spoke was about forty years old among the two. He was not very tall, about 1.7 meters in height, but he had a good image. At this time, he smiled and said hello, and he said it was a brother. But it doesn't look vulgar.

   It does have a more refined taste on it.

boss?

  Xu Guangling had a general guess about the identity of this person, and then asked: "Boss?" After receiving a slight nod from him, he said: "Your surname?"

   "Free from expensive, little surname Song."

"Boss Song, hello, hello!" Xu Guangling stretched out his hand and shook hands with Boss Song proactively, before saying with a smile, "I came in and saw this chime, and I feel that the owner of this piano shop is extraordinary. That's why I specifically shook hands and admired it, haha."

After talking about the opening, Xu Guangling didn't intend to waste time. He didn't want to waste it, and it was estimated that other bosses might not be willing to waste it, so he said directly: "Boss Song, I want to rent a guzheng and a dongxiao from you. It's convenient. Is it?"

Boss Song seems to be a neat and tidy person. After hearing Xu Guangling say this, he turned around and took out a guzheng from the long cabinet erected on the wall not far away, and placed it on the specially prepared empty table. Then he said to Xu Guangling: "Brother, try your hand?" Then: "Do you need fake armor?"

Fake nails are also prosthetic nails. The "artificial nails" that are tied to the fingers when playing the zither and guqin are simply like wigs or headgear on the hair. They existed very early in ancient times. In order to protect the hands, it should be gradually discovered later that the fake nails are not only for hand protection, but can also increase the sound that the fingers cannot bounce whether they are the belly or the nails.

   so that slowly, this is standard.

   During this period, there should also be a special fake nail research expert, that is, to study what material to use to make fake nails, so that the sound when it touches the musical strings is better, such as clearer, brighter, more transparent, etc.

   But that's a long story. Xu Guangling doesn't know much. His limited knowledge was taught to him by his mother at the beginning. He himself has not studied it.

   is definitely to try.

   But fake armor is not necessary.

  Xu Guangling nodded, shook his head again, and walked towards the guzheng. First, he flicked his hands on the zither erratically, and then made some basic tuning, which was actually a little bit of fine-tuning.

  Xu Guangling has not touched the guzheng for many years.

   But just now, when both hands were on the zither strings, a very strange feeling came to his mind, that is, he was sure that his playing level now was far from comparable to that of the past.

Is    related to the fourth dream from before? Or, it has something to do with the right-hand heart orifice? Because the touch of the right hand just now seemed to be completely visible.

   It was after the zither strings were put on with both hands that Xu Guangling knew that whether it was the fourth dream before or the opening of the right aorta, the increased agility and flexibility of both hands were actually useful. - Like when playing.

   Once, he played for a while almost every day, either the piano, the guqin, or the zither.

   But that kind of memory was already very far away, and it was so far away that it was just a memory, as if it had already fallen into the dust, so that, until this time, he would not remember what the flexibility of his hands could be used for.

  The past, reappeared.

  Xu Guangling just stood there, stroking the strings of the zither with both hands, and then, starting from a series of overtones, a piece of music was flowing between his fingers, under this guzheng, in this violin shop.
