Dragon's Origin
#692 - The King of Musical Instruments (Part 1)
In Master Yu's heart, the Guqin's title as the king of instruments would never be shaken. No matter what instrument, none could撼动 the Guqin's position in the entire music circle.
In the Yuanhun world, the recorded history of the Guqin exceeded three thousand years, with countless classic pieces. Wang Sheng had heard no less than a hundred.
Wang Sheng was actually muttering to himself about whether or not to create the king of instruments. How could this be allowed?
If it were just making a Guqin, Wang Sheng wouldn't have mentioned it after making a guitar that no one had ever seen or heard of. This meant the king of instruments Wang Sheng spoke of was definitely not the same as the king of instruments in Master Yu's mind. Therefore, Master Yu immediately questioned him.
Master Yu's question immediately woke Wang Sheng from his thoughts. He was immediately shocked. It was really inappropriate to be so engrossed in thought that he didn't care about the people around him. Although Master Yu and these musicians wouldn't do anything to him, where had his vigilance as a sniper gone?
Wang Sheng's code name in the army was Lone Wolf. Every mission Wang Sheng undertook was alone, and his super vigilance was key to Wang Sheng surviving until now. He never expected that in the Marquis's residence, Wang Sheng would lose this vigilance. This was too inappropriate.
"Master, I was just saying that." Wang Sheng secretly criticized himself for losing his vigilance, then smiled apologetically at Master Yu, "Don't take it to heart."
"Spare me that!" What kind of person was Master Yu? He was a top master and grandmaster who was obsessed with instruments and music to the extreme. He could listen to Wang Sheng's guitar once and copy the tune perfectly after trying it himself. Any instrument or piece of music he hadn't heard, seen, or heard of was his lifelong pursuit.
If Wang Sheng had mentioned the king of instruments when they first met, Master Yu would definitely have thought Wang Sheng was talking about the Guqin. But now, after Wang Sheng made the guitar, he seemed dissatisfied and wanted to make the king of instruments. That would definitely not be the Guqin, but a completely unheard-of instrument.
"Go!" Master Yu grabbed Wang Sheng and walked towards where he had just come from. There was a large group of grandmasters who had just finished making guitars and were waiting for Wang Sheng to comment. They were all there, so he wanted Wang Sheng to quickly say it and make the so-called king of instruments. Then, Master Yu would use the Guqin to severely teach Wang Sheng a lesson for his presumptuous words.
When Master Yu grabbed Wang Sheng, although Wang Sheng could break free with a casual shake, he didn't dare to move rashly at this time, and obediently followed Master Yu to where the grandmasters were.
"Tell me, what's the matter with the king of instruments you mentioned?" Master Yu released Wang Sheng, then asked with a cold face.
The grandmasters were waiting for Wang Sheng to evaluate their guitars. Suddenly, they saw Master Yu dragging Wang Sheng over and talking about the king of instruments. They were all confused. Wasn't everything fine just now? Grandmaster Lu even asked directly, "What's going on?"
"Ask him!" Master Yu pointed at Wang Sheng, asking him to explain.
"The guitars are very good, but I need another instrument. I just said a sentence, and Master Yu became dissatisfied." Wang Sheng could only praise everyone's achievements first, and then explained with a bitter face.
"You mentioned the king of instruments?" Grandmaster Lu knew Master Yu quite well. When he heard Master Yu mention the king of instruments, he knew what was going on.
"I probably said something about wanting to create the king of instruments." Wang Sheng quickly added.
"Alright, I understand." Grandmaster Lu nodded and said, "Old Yu has regarded the Guqin as the true king of instruments all his life. You're provoking Old Yu!"
Wang Sheng was directly dumbfounded. Was Grandmaster Lu helping him?
"But I like it!" Grandmaster Lu looked at Wang Sheng's dumbfounded expression and laughed loudly, "Tell me, how to make it, quickly make it so Old Yu can open his eyes and know that there is always someone better!"
"That's right! Quickly make it and let him open his eyes, hahaha!" Old Tie and the others also joined in the fun at this moment, laughing loudly. Old Yu couldn't stand them, and they couldn't stand Old Yu's way of doing things. Cooperation was cooperation, but they wouldn't miss the chance to mock each other.
Master Yu, who was beside them, was angered by this group of grandmasters. Wang Sheng had made him angry enough, and these guys were so disloyal. Master Yu was instantly furious: "Alright, you say it, we'll do it. I want to see what kind of king of instruments you can make!"
At this point, Wang Sheng had to do it even if he didn't want to. Moreover, Wang Sheng had always had the idea of doing it in his heart.
The structure of a piano was complex, so it couldn't be drawn with just a few strokes on the ground. Wang Sheng instructed Steward Wang to prepare a large enough animal skin, as Wang Sheng wanted to draw a diagram.
Master Yu was unconvinced, and Wang Sheng wasn't surprised. The Guqin's position in the Yuanhun world was definitely high, comparable to the ancient Guqin in China on Earth. Speaking of which, in the history of Earth, the Guqin was actually the king of instruments among Chinese instruments.
Wang Sheng's ultimate goal was to improve his Yuanhun, not to argue with Master Yu, so his tone had always been humble, keeping a low profile. However, things had to be done in a high-profile manner.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Relying on the memory in his mind, Wang Sheng spent a full three days using a compass, ruler, triangle, T-square, and black charcoal pencil to draw a neat structural diagram of a grand piano. Upright pianos required folding the strings and other things, which was not as simple as a grand piano.
Whether in terms of timbre, volume, or taste, a grand piano surpassed an upright piano. The need for an upright piano was largely to save space. The Marquis's residence was so big, was there still a fear of not being able to place a grand piano?
Without even seeing the finished product, just seeing this detailed structural diagram, the expressions of the grandmasters became serious. This was many times more detailed than any treasured handmade instrument structural diagram they had seen before, with even precise dimensions marked on it.
Just learning to read the diagram, the grandmasters surrounded Wang Sheng for more than two days before they understood the diagram. Master Yu was also among them, and he was stunned for a long time after seeing such a complex instrument.
Just a piano key hammer required an extremely sophisticated structure, and if it weren't for the people in front of him, ordinary carpenters and blacksmiths would not be able to make it at all.
What would be the effect if such an instrument were made? A row of black and white eighty-eight keys made Master Yu confused. From the structural diagram, it could be seen that each key was a different tone. Eighty-eight tones, could a seven-string Guqin produce so many different tones?
Just looking at the diagram, Master Yu seemed to feel that if this piano was made well, it would probably be extraordinary.
