"Brother Chu Bi, if you don't know what it is, just ask. You don't have to add those weird adjectives, okay?"
Li Ke whispered into Cheng Chubi's ear.
Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes angrily, I'm not a professional musician, it's strange to know so much.
However, following Gu Taile's introduction, Cheng Chubi had already thought about it over and over in his mind.
What I need is naturally a guitar, but none of the string instruments in front of me are suitable for me.
After all, I play guitar, and I have never played any ethnic musical instrument. The important thing is that I have never learned it.
Although I am very interested, at least not now, I want to train Brother Jun to become an excellent wandering singer in the shortest possible time.
Just like Brother Jun's image of a rough old man, let him sit sideways with his legs together like a lady, and then stand upright holding a pipa...
Well, I’m just asking you whether it’s spicy or not, and whether it brings tears to your eyes. I have your surname.
A big man with long hair and not doing heavy metal should be a street singer or a decadent artist.
Gu Taile finally finished introducing the shelf full of string instruments. Master Luo saluted Cheng Sanlang and said proudly.
"Although I am best at making pipa, these string-plucked instruments are also not a problem."
"I don't know what Mr. Cheng wants to make. Just ask. Within three to five days, I will be able to make a sample and ask Mr. Cheng to audition."
"Master Luo, what Cheng wants to do is actually very simple. Well, it's like two circles overlapping each other. The top is smaller and the bottom is larger. Then there are six strings, so there must be twenty-four frets..."
Cheng Chubi thought for a while, and simply picked up a slightly larger middle Ruan Xian and a small Ruan Xian, and then put them together and gestured for a long time.
Everyone looked confused and didn't know what he wanted to do.
Cheng Chubi made gestures for a long time, and saw one or two people looking dumbfounded. He was really a little powerless, and it seemed that communication was a bit difficult.
Fortunately, Li Ke on the side was very aware of Brother Chu Bi's hands-on ability.
"Well, Master Luo, do you have pens, inks, paper and inkstones here? Xiao Wang thinks Cheng Sanlang needs those things."
Soon, Cheng Chubi picked up his pen and began to splash ink on the white paper. A folk guitar that looked like two circles, one large and one small, appeared on the white paper.
Then a sound hole with a diameter big enough to fit a fist was dug in the middle. After all this was done, Cheng Chubi put down his pen with satisfaction.
"This is the instrument that Mr. Cheng wants Master Luo to make. I call it..."
What should it be called? What does guitar mean? What is the transliteration? Since it is a transliteration, it means that the thing is an imported product.
But now, this thing is invented and created in my hands, what should it be called?
Cheng Chubi instantly thought of an ancient proverb, "The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names."
Since this thing came from my own hands, I have to leave my own mark, otherwise, it would be a waste.
"Well, I'm going to call it Cheng's Pipa."
Of course, this name is external, Cheng Chubi will still call it a guitar in his heart, mainly because later generations have become accustomed to calling it that.
Li Ke's face looked ferocious for a while, and he couldn't help but say feebly for a long time.
"...Why don't you call me Sanlang Pipa?"
"Then who knew that this thing was created by our Cheng family?"
Cheng Chubi glared at Li Ke unhappily, and then looked expectantly at Master Luo, whose expression and eyes were stiff.
"I wonder if you can make it, Master Luo."
"It can be done, but the shape is so weird, and your sound belly is so big, you actually have to open a sound hole. This is not in line with the rules for making musical instruments..."
Cheng Chubi suddenly felt a little unhappy when he saw Master Luo chirping in front of him with a look of disgust on his face.
"I just asked you if you could do it?"
Master Luo was not afraid at all and spoke boldly.
"It can be done, but it is impossible to open a hole. I have made countless string instruments in my life, but I have never opened a sound hole."
"..." Cheng Chubi looked at Master Luo with toothache, who looked like you could beat me to death, but you wouldn't want me to poke an eye out of this thing.
"The six strings and twenty-four frets are no problem, right?"
"Of course there is no problem with this. Even if you want twelve strings, I can make them for you. However, if you open the sound hole, it will ruin the purity of the sound..."
"Chengchengcheng, if you don't open it, you won't open it. Just do it like this for me."
Cheng Chubi saw that this old guy was still trying to persuade him to make a guitar without sound holes, so he quickly interrupted.
Master Luo let out a breath, picked up the design and looked at it a few times, then looked at Cheng Sanlang with some hesitation.
Cheng Chubi also made a special reminder: "The sound belly must be thick enough, at least this thick."
After hearing this, Master Luo looked at the fat and strong Cheng family in front of him and took another look at the design drawing.
According to Cheng Sangong's design, whether it is the way of making Ruan Xian or the method of making Pipa, I am afraid that the weight of this Cheng's Pipa will definitely not be light.
But it doesn't matter, the Cheng family, who are so fat and strong, can definitely hold it.
#####
In the end, Master Luo agreed to make two Cheng's Pipas for Cheng Sanlang, and Cheng Chubi could come to the audition within three days at most.
Cheng Chubi, who finally successfully accomplished his goal, said a few compliments to Master Luo with a smile on his face.
He left Taile Department with Li Ke.
"By the way, dear brother, do you still know the craftsman who makes the instrument? When I get the Cheng's Pipa later, I can find a craftsman to help me open a sound hole."
"Do you really want to drill holes?"
"Nonsense, this is Cheng's pipa, it's different from those string instruments."
"Understand, understand, everything in the old Cheng family has to be different..." Li Ke nodded helplessly and sighed.
Even the stone lion at the entrance of Duke Lu's mansion looks fatter and stronger than the ones in other Duke's mansions, which is different from others.
At this moment, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel a little excited and a little emotional.
Think about the time when I and a group of classmates dressed up in outfits to match the heavy metal music.
To save money and save money, I finally bought an artificial leather motorcycle jacket.
At the same time, in order to match the band's style of music, I shamelessly went to the wholesale market to buy wig sets.
I only rehearsed a few times, fully armed, and got into trouble just because I was caught.
As a result, it came to an end without even performing. Now that I think about it, Cheng Sanlang, a non-professional musician, feels very regretful.
But now, I can get a guitar again, and I finally have long hair...
