Chapter 428 The Difference Between Squaw
On the way down the mountain.

Ye Qing walked in the front, while the others walked beside Yixing and listened to Yixing's talk about 'the difference between Si and Guaqin'.

"Guarneri's piano has a small radian and is relatively flat. The Si-style piano has a narrower and smaller upper part, a wider lower part, and a slightly deeper curvature in the middle. Its contours are commensurate and its lines are very beautiful. .From the aesthetic point of view, the Si-style piano is even better."

Yixing first talked about the body of the two kinds of pianos, and then described the timbre of the two pianos.

"The violins made by these two families are compared to them by people in the music industry. It is said that when playing, the melon-style violin needs to be used as a weapon by the player to attack the audience to be perfect; and the Si-style violin It is perfect to treat it like a bouquet of roses and present it to the audience in an elegant way."

After he finished speaking, he thought about it in his mind and continued:
"The melon-style piano is suitable for playing music that mostly uses G strings. It is deep, rough, and unrestrained. The Si-style piano has a soft and delicate tone, which is suitable for playing gorgeous music. But the two kinds of pianos still have shortcomings. The bass is not deep enough, and the treble of the melon is a bit rough and lacking in detail.”

After Yixing finished his understanding of the two kinds of pianos, he turned to the old man's back and said, "Old man, that's all I know."

"Well, I'm quite familiar with these two pianos, and that's the advantages and disadvantages of these two pianos."

Although Ye Qing was always at the forefront, his ears were still focused on Yixing's narration.

What the kid said about the two pianos was absolutely correct.

Although these two pianos are loved by famous musicians, both of them still have shortcomings.

Because their timbre is related to the thickness of the piano body, he also failed to produce a perfect violin without flaws.

"Let me tell you about these two violins. The violin makers of these two families are related to the old man."

"Could it be that you are their teacher?"

The old man's words made everyone's first thought be that the old man is the teacher of the luthiers of the two families.

They felt that it was impossible for the two families to accept the help of the old man, and they did not think that the violin making industry of the two families belonged to the old man.

Because this is undoubtedly a competitor, and it will affect the old man's income.

Therefore, this relationship is very likely to be the relationship between the old man and them as a student and a teacher.

Anyway, with the old man, it is either a business support relationship or a teacher-student relationship. This is a law that cannot be broken.

"I'm not their teacher, Amati is."

"Amati?"

"If you want to talk about this relationship, it's a bit long-term. Amati's grandfather learned how to make violins with me. The earliest violins are not what they are today, and Amati's grandfather made changes to the appearance of violins when he was studying. Innovation, that is, the violin of the current style, except that the strings at that time were three strings."

As Ye Qing spoke, his eyes drifted far, far away.

He was thinking about the Si Shiqin family in his mind.

"This relationship is indeed very long-term."

Everyone following the old man couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Good guy, this relationship feels like pulling the timeline of several generations.

Wouldn't Amati still be honored as the old man and the master?

And the members of the Nasigua family are not allowed to call the old man the patriarch?
As soon as this relationship is mentioned, I feel that this seniority is really high.

"So let's not talk so far, just talk about those two families."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he withdrew his Piaoyuan gaze, and continued:

"At that time, Amati was very famous in violin making, so Stella and Guarneri found Amati to learn from him. The violin making of the Amati family has always been the most traditional production. The method follows a principle, so none of Amati’s violins have deep and full timbres, but they are all easy to sound and easy to play.”

"Did Nasgua modify Amati's violin when he was studying with Amati?"

"No, I asked Amati to teach like that, so that the two of them learned differently."

"Teach in two ways?"

"What I learned from Amati is not Amati's violin-making method. Why do I need to change two different methods, or is it a different method from Amati's violin?"

Not everyone understands this teaching method very well.

Which teacher would teach students in a way that is not his own, let alone two different ways.

It's not that difficult.

And then Amati actually agreed?

"In fact, Amati knew very well earlier that there were some problems with the violins made by her family, and the family could not last long, so when they were two apprentices, they found me, the old man. Amati knew very well that their family was in the It won't be long in the violin-making world, and he wants me to teach those two kids."

"In that case, you are the teacher of the Sgua family."

"I didn't agree, but I just gave him the two improved sketches that I had prepared a long time ago, and let him learn to teach, so that his own family will not be eliminated by the violin making industry. It's just that I will be in the classroom when teaching. Looking at the guide from the side, so the teacher is still Amati, and I am an assistant."

After talking, a few people had already walked down the mountain.

The road down the mountain was no longer narrow, so Ye Qing still walked in front, but the others walked side by side.

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he began to talk about the Si-style piano.

"Si-style violin, it is very difficult to copy a fake violin. At the beginning, the two selected the violin-making technology by drawing lots. Stella was lucky to get it. The quality of the Si-style violin should be the best of all The most outstanding of the pianos. Its paint and wood are all of the best quality, and its sound has a feeling of coming from an ancient and distant place. When you hear it, you will not consciously immerse yourself in it.”

"The sound of the Si-style piano is indeed very soft and immersive."

Yixing heard the words and nodded.

Although the timbre of this Si-style piano is very pleasing, the current Si-style piano is almost always shown in concerts.

Because it is only suitable for gorgeous and solemn.

But the melon-style piano is different. It makes the player feel more like driving.

Playing the melon is like driving a sports car, with endless drive and wild excitement.

Just like the music feeling of the two of Salazar and Paconini.

Paconini's music feels like a demon is calling.

And Salasarde's music feels like a prince with delicate emotions, very elegant.

"That's the way it is, and that's why different ways of making violins are taught, because it's the beginning of changes in the history of violin music, and they make violin music more engaging."

"Old man, you are back."

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he heard Yue Peng's shout from home.

Listening to this voice, it feels like looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to their feelings.

Ye Qing shrugged and faced the children, "Let's all go wash up, let's talk after dinner."

After a while, several people passed through the small peach grove in front of the house.

As soon as they came out of the woods, everyone looked at Yue Peng with a particularly eager smile on his face.

"Old man, you've been up the mountain for three hours, I miss you so much."

"Yue Yue, why are you so eager to do something bad?"

Huang Lei looked at Yue Yue's smile, and glanced at Guo Degang who was also smiling eagerly beside him.

The master and apprentice are smiling like this, what bad things did they do?
