552. Funeral March from Nanshi
The applause fell and the hall became quiet.
"Thanks."
Yoshino Takuma bowed again, turned around and snapped his fingers, and then the light screen flashed, and a clear back of a grand piano appeared.
Without any hesitation, he began to introduce the piano.
Everyone in the audience also focused their attention on the scrolling ppt.
"The back of the piano."
"This time we increased the size of the back post and the back frame, and changed the production process with the idea of enhancing the intensity of the sound, so that the piano's support can be further enhanced. Our wish is that the player's voice can fill the entire music.
hall."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers again.
The picture jumped to a golden soundboard.
"Castanets."
“We connected the ribs according to the curvature of the soundboard to achieve free vibration and enhance rich overtones.
We have invited many Yamah artists to verify this, and you will hear their actual performances in a moment. This time our soundboard material is made of carefully selected top-grade European spruce, in order to achieve a better
Excellent expressive power of voice and color.”
Spruce, Qin Jian remembers Liao Linjun once said that spruce produced from the Pyrenees to the Balkan Peninsula is the final piano soundboard material.
Moreover, cfx has always been criticized by the outside world for its single tone tone being too bland. I wonder if cf7 can change this situation.
While thinking, the picture on the stage light screen had switched to an iron-cast curved steel plate.
"Cast iron plate."
"According to the changes in the basic design of the piano body, we redesigned the building frame to improve the sound and tension balance. But please don't worry, on this basis, we continued the pegboard window design of the cfx, and the sound generation and sound of the cf7
The ductility will not be affected at all."
With a snap of the fingers, the picture was cut again, and a delicate white hammer appeared in everyone's sight.
"Hammer."
"Every piano player knows that the hammers are an important part that determines the tone. The materials of the CF7 hammers have been strictly screened and carefully polished by us. In the pursuit of details, we also ensure that the body has a full sense of elasticity.
Sensitive mechanics.”
...
"Strings."
"The characteristics of the strings are bright pronunciation and taking into account the balance with the body of the instrument. Based on the cfx strings, this time we focused on changing the production process of the bass strings. The cf7 bass strings are all made by professional technicians
Purely hand-wrapped to ensure natural vibration, it can achieve a more exquisite outline that coexists with beauty and power.
...
"Painting."
"The outer coating of each CF7 has been repeatedly polished by craftsmen to show a black light process that is darker than black. The inner side uses a selected Sabelli vanity panel to show bright and gorgeous colors."
...
"Top cover."
"In order for professional concert pianists to better perform with symphony orchestras during performances, we have learned a lot of experience from the feedback of many pianists in recent years. The top cover of CF7 is all matte painted
, this can completely suppress the reflection of light on the stage from the top cover."
...
"pedal."
"CF7 adopts a brand-new structure of the pedal that is stronger and stronger than the previous CFX. The simple design makes the pedal and the piano body complement each other, giving it a more integrated feel.
...
"Qin Jian."
"Bai Jian continues the imitation ivory material of cfx, and the feel and color are very close to cfx. The black keys use higher quality natural ebony as the main material of cf7."
...
The pictures on the light screen stopped scrolling, and Yoshino Takuma slowly walked to the front of the stage.
"Extraordinary musical instruments can bring happy expectations to performers the moment they see them. While re-developing sound quality, the CF series has also made bold reforms in appearance design."
“The appearance obtained by abandoning unnecessary decoration and pursuing exquisiteness in everything from basic design to painting is the ideal shape pursued by Yamah.
"It allows the artist to naturally integrate with the piano, being simple yet elegant, solemn and luxurious, blooming under the spotlight, and using the whole body of the piano to interpret beauty and power."
...
In the quiet hall, the tuner from Yamaha's Japanese headquarters did not speak loudly, and his Chinese pronunciation was a bit stiff, but every word he started could be heard clearly.
Referring to the large ppt behind him, he introduced the extraordinary features of this CF7 to everyone in detail, from design to manual craftsmanship.
"I believe that the birth of CF7 will definitely bring beautiful expectations to the audience."
After Yoshino Takuma completely introduced the CF7, the audience burst into warm applause.
Qin Jian was also applauding. Apart from anything else, as a simple piano player, this CF7 and the manufacturing team behind it deserved his applause.
I have to say that he is glad that he can be here today. The comprehensive explanation on stage is even more vivid than the part about piano craftsmanship in Chris's beginner's guide to piano.
Although in comparison, Chris sounded more imaginative in describing some of the piano craftsmanship and production materials he mentioned, it was just text and there were no actual pictures to serve as a real reference for him.
Listening to the detailed explanation and looking at the physical piano not far away, Qin Jian felt that although he had not used it yet, he seemed to have already felt the charm of this piano.
This situation.
Qin Jian was wondering when his country could produce such a piano.
He hopes that one day, this scene can be staged in Tokyo, New York, Hamburg, Warsaw, and in every corner of the world.
The applause fell.
Yoshino Takuma bowed again. "Thank you."
After a pause, he sighed and looked around the audience with a smile.
Under the light, although his forehead was slightly sweaty, his face revealed a look of pride and pride.
moment.
Yoshino Shokubo spoke again.
"It has been sixty-one years, eight months and seven days since I started making pianos."
The audience was in an uproar, and Qin Jian didn't expect it.
"I treat every piano that comes from my hands with a piano label as if it were my child."
"In my eyes, the piano is an alternative life form with its own organs."
"CF7 has 8412 parts. Just like our human body, there are infinite correlations between each part."
"The mutual coordination of the components expresses the characteristics of each timbre, just like the different personalities of human beings."
“I’m always looking for better ways to express their true identity.”
"If you rely too much on past experience and sensibility, in my opinion, it is a kind of blind irresponsibility."
"My team and I have introduced more advanced engineering technology into this sound production based on experience and sensibility, which is a major change in the pursuit of ideal sound."
"This is officially the tradition of Yamah piano, and it is also the reason to surpass ourselves and constantly evolve the sound."
"Finally, thank you everyone for listening."
"Thanks."
The applause rose and fell again.
"In the coming time, we will invite our Yamah artist, the spokesperson of CF7, and the famous Chinese pianist Mr. Nobuyuki Tokai to give you a wonderful performance at CF7."
The applause resumes.
Shen Qingci's eyes had already fallen on Nobuyuki Tokai, who was slowly getting up under the stage.
He also clapped, and he didn't even care how much the old man on the stage boasted about CF7.
It's just that he can't remember how long it has been since he saw his old friend perform in the audience.
