---------------------------------------------------------------------

"This flute is of good quality!" Tan Yanjian picked up the two flutes in the box, weighed them in his hand, looked at Kong Bi again, nodded and said.

"The bamboo materials of this batch of flutes are good. This year, the bamboo forest on the mountain is growing well. You can choose it, you can't make a mistake." Seeing Tan Yanjian holding the C-tuning flute, Xie Wenzheng said confidently.

This batch of flutes was identified by Madi. If you change to an ordinary musical instrument store or online buyer, you may have to pay the money and take it away. However, Tan Yanjian is a great player and he has higher requirements for flutes. Although Madi is also a master of playing, the two have different styles and different needs for flutes. So even if Madi has identified, Tan Yanjian still has to go through it again. After all, the students he led are all his favorite students, and Tan Yanjian is still very responsible for choosing flutes for them.

Moreover, in more than a month, the China CCTV TV Cup Folk Music Grand Prix will be held. All his students will have to sign up for the competition. He also thought that before the competition, he would choose a good "weapon" for them, so Tan Yanjian attached great importance to this time of selection of flutes.

This batch of "best" series of bamboo flutes are all white bamboo double-inserted flutes, so the flute box is not long but relatively wide, and the flutes are stored in two pieces. Tan Yanjian assembled the two pieces of flutes, adjusted the flute tuning film, and blew it across his chest.

A smooth tremor sounded, and the unique low and moist sound of the C-tuning flute sounded particularly pleasant.

This is a famous flute song "Flying the Partridge", which is one of the main representative songs of Jiangnan flute songs. It was originally a folk music from Hunan. The score was first seen in the "Chinese Elegant Music Collection" compiled by Yan Gufan in 1926. It was adapted by Zhao Songting, a famous Southern School flute master. The whole song uses a large amount of tremolo to describe the beauty of partridges rising from the grass and flying high and low, which tests the performer's breath use and finger flexibility.

After a few words, Tan Yanjian looked at the flute in his hand, nodded slightly and said, "This flute is not bad, with a sensitive pronunciation, but the bamboo wall is a bit thick, and the bamboo is a little old, so it can still be used."

Xie Wenzheng was not angry when he heard Tan Yanjian talk about his flute’s faults. The other party was a big expert and he said it was good at all. But after all, the flute was handmade and the material was made of natural materials. Where is it perfect? ​​The C-tuned flute just now, even in his own eyes, it was considered top-notch. Don’t underestimate Tan Yanjian’s words “not bad”. Who is he? He is a top-notch master in the Chinese flute world. He said the word “not bad” from his mouth, and the value is quite high!

After trying this piece, Tan Yanjian tried more than a dozen pieces in a row. Some of them only blew a few mouthfuls and put them down, while others blew for several minutes and changed several pieces of the song.

As he tried more and more flutes, most of the bamboo flutes in a large box were turned out, most of which were placed on the left side of the workbench. There were only a few flutes that he took out separately and placed in the corner on the right. Those flutes were all his favorites.

Although there are more than 200 flutes in this batch, Tan Yanjian's selection speed is not slow. In about an hour, the cartons will be bottomed out.

At this time, the flutes he selected were only eight in total.

Looking at the eight flutes, Xie Wenzheng's face looked a little bitter.

"I said Lao Tan, your standard this time is a bit high." Xie Wenzheng said with a wry smile.

Among his top flutes, many of them were works that he felt very satisfied with, but Tan Yanjian's mouth was so clever. If he was a little dissatisfied, he would PASS it. As a result, he looked at more than 200 flutes and only eight were selected.

"Master Xie, it's not that I, Lao Tan, is a tricky one. I'm very useful to this group of flutes." Tan Yanjian said, pointing to the group of students standing behind him and said, "You know the Central TV folk music competition. The selection competition will officially start in a month. I, the students, have signed up for the competition. That's a heavyweight competition once every four years. How can I not be prepared for it?"

"I know that competition, but it's really hard to find your choice. You also know that flutes are handmade, errors are inevitable, and materials are also made of them. If you want to find something that is particularly perfect, it is hard to find." Xie Wenzheng said with a wry smile.

"Yes, the best treasure flute is indeed hard to come by." Tan Yanjian said, for some reason, suddenly the situation of participating in that charity auction some time ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

The auction in Yanjing was originally a charitable auction jointly organized by the Chinese Musicians Association and the Yanjing Philharmonic Shop. Tan Yanjian also attended it. However, like many performers, he attended the auction not for the purpose of shooting instruments, but simply to do something for charity, and at the same time had an opportunity to communicate with other musicians.

But he didn't expect that in such an occasion, there would be such a high-quality "Treasure Flute"!

He still remembers the shock that the three flute rhymes brought to him at that time!

He spent 70,000 yuan to take pictures of the big A flute. He was still a little painful when he took pictures of the flute at this price. However, after he returned, he tried to blow it, he suddenly shouted that it was worth it!

The purple bamboo flute with an ordinary appearance was not only incredibly accurate, but even made him feel relaxed as hard as he could imagine!

One of the common characteristics of any large bass flute below C is that it requires a large amount of breath, which is difficult to fill and is very difficult to control. However, this big A flute does not have this problem at all!

Tan Yanjian remembered that when he first played, it was almost impossible to believe that he was playing a big A-tuning flute! Just a little soothing breath was blown out, and the flute would respond immediately, and the point of the concussion was very easy to find and the frequency was very wide! Whether it was a strong blow or a weak blow, or even a very difficult sound jump for a large bass flute, it could be blown out easily!

As for the tone, Tan Yanjian no longer knows how to describe it. It is thick, round, but also has a sense of ethereal and flowing. Listening to the sound of the flute, people will feel that their heart will tremble slightly with the unique rhythm!

When playing this flute, there is no need to worry about the response of the flute itself. It is like spirituality and can make the most needed sound according to the player's intentions!

Since having that flute, Tan Yanjian has not touched the other two so-called "bao flutes" that he often uses for a long time. After using "bamboo rhyme" and then playing the original flutes, it is like a person who is used to eating delicacies and suddenly has to return to the days of eating porridge and cabbage. The huge contrast is something that no one can adapt to!

But sadly, there is only one flute. As a professor-level lecturer at Xinghai Conservatory of Music, Tan Yanjian teaches different contents in class every day, and often needs to use flutes of different modalities. Besides, Da A is not a tune that is often used, so Tan Yanjian, who is spoiled by this "bamboo rhyme", often faces this "no flute to play".

During this period, he always wondered how much would it be if that "Zhuyun" could have a whole set! If that was the case, even if he spent millions, he would have to buy one! Even if he spent all his savings for it, it wouldn't matter!

"By the way, Lao Tan, I have some fine series. Why don't you go to the pile to pick it up?" Xie Wenzheng asked with a smile when he saw Tan Yanjian's look of a pity.

"Forget it, I'd better not need it. I'll pick it from there. It took a lot longer than this. I don't have that much time, and there's still class in the afternoon." Tan Yanjian smiled and shook his head, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Only eight flutes were selected, which was far from meeting his requirements. There were as many as seventeen students in his group. Even if each one was one, it was still half the distance. What's more, the songs prepared by each of them were different, and some even needed several flutes, which was even less than enough.

Just as I was thinking, if it really didn't work, I would go further and go to Jia Musical Instrument Factory in Hangzhou to find Director Ying Mingzhang. Although Hangzhou City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from here, he also accepted it for the most hard work of the four-year high-level folk music competition in the country.

Just as he was thinking, Tan Yanjian suddenly encountered something under his feet. When he looked down, he saw that it was a large rectangular cardboard express delivery. The express delivery order on it had not been torn off. Tan Yanjian accidentally glanced at the express delivery order. The column on it was written with beautiful running scripts, which immediately lit up his eyes.

"The handwriting is so beautiful!" Tan Yanjian praised first, then looked at the content above.

"Fifty Huayin flutes, thank you for collecting them by the factory manager." In just eleven words, the dragon and the phoenix danced, vigorous and powerful, as if they were about to crack the paper!

"Huayin Dizi? Which factory did this come from?" Tan Yanjian looked at the express delivery order with some strangeness and said to himself.

"What Huayin flute?" Hearing Tan Yanjian's words, Xie Wenzheng became a little surprised. When he saw Tan Yanjian lowering his waist and looking at the big cardboard box, he immediately slapped his forehead and shouted: "Hey, look at my memory, why did you forget this."

As he said that, he bent down and picked up the cardboard box and placed it on the workbench.

"What is this flute?" Tan Yanjian looked at Xie Wenzheng and asked in confusion.

"Old Tan, Teacher Ma Di called me a few days ago and said that he had met a new master with very good flute making skills and asked me to help sell his flute. Isn't that little master called me the day before yesterday and said that he wanted to send me a batch of flutes. I just arrived today. When you come, I will forget about this matter." Xie Wenzheng said with a smile.

"Oh, the flute maker recommended by Madi? Aren't you his student? How could he recommend other masters to send the flute to you?" Tan Yanjian asked with a smile.

"I don't know what Teacher Madi is thinking, but it's probably his newly accepted student. He happens to be a flute player. I want to help him. By the way, you are here too. I'll open it and take a look together. Maybe there's something for you." Xie Wenzheng said, and quickly opened the cardboard box.

"Then let's take a look." Tan Yanjian said unquestionably. A brand that he had never heard of, a flutemaker with no fame, did not have much hope for this box of flutes.

When he opened it, Tan Yanjian was even more disappointed when he saw the flute clearly.
