its better to call them before paying them a visit..... as it might b taken home alridi
For their contact do google and u will find it.

R u sure u called the right store ? Its their Jalan Ipoh HQ. Ask for the chinese lady Manager (she might be the lady boss); as she is
the only person in the store who knows about tis piece of old wood.

Tell her u r my frd; the man who likes to ask for RODE shotgun T1 & T2 mic staying in Subang area and
wanted to buy the guzheng for RM700/=.

If she got amnesia then ask her directly about her church pastor's old guzheng.

Else do let me know I will call her.

anderyna :- I just called DO RE MI. 03 40419108.
Tat piece of old wood still laying on their mezzanine floor.
I've put my charm into them to call the pastor to reduce its initial price from RM1000/= to RM800/=.

Pls ask for Vivian or Samantha and mentioned { 千金難買 'chee yum"人 } ; then they knows.

All u need to do with the Gz is re-string it again and the sound should be very good.

Faceless :- Bru... u seen LaBella lately around in the forum lately ?

No... she is the EVIL one. To her these 龍鬚 are like scalps to the Sioux.

Added on March 26, 2012, 10:45 pmU pay me RM200/= as charges I will be the driver and bring it over.
Faceless gor-gor will be the carry boy.

and we can throw in a free tuning for ur guzheng if u wish. Deal ?

This post has been edited by subangman: Mar 26 2012, 10:47 PM

Bru... how can I bear to wallop all the hard earn monies to myself...... must share one after all u do the hard work mah....

RM200 can get us 3 package of (4 full pts/package + 20bucks of warm siew yoke)...... HAHAHA; we will b more than a Happy man.

... Now u all still tune to mostly D... wait till u need to change from D to A to C then to G and to B just to practice a 5 songs OMG then
u know wat is tuning all about.....

U r right bru..... that's why I get Meimei more than 3 'swords' in order to minimise the changing key story.
She just need to put the other one on the stand and start off practicing if she wants.

Her SB is basiclly tune to G and I've yet to come across another song using tis key.

Her exam songs are in A & B and the other one C.

Normal practice pieces in varies.

If using one Gz then cheahlat lor.... time to change from one key to another will take more than 3hrs alridi just to practice few songs..
wat about her academic assessment end of the year.

Check with ur housemate... see can he do these 5 pieces say within 2hrs.

1. 春到新疆
2. 西域随想
3. 長相思 / 林冲夜奔
4. 草原英雄小姐妹
5. 长安八景 ..................

Lurkers /leechers/ cybertoopers often brag out without facts and end up getting their tongue's cut.

Now u know changing keys not just shifing bridges left & right .

Mayb ur so call frd still in the dark; UNKEL enlighten u ... changing from A -> C is tuning 19 strings not just 'kee2 koo2'.

---

Added on March 28, 2012, 10:24 pmif it so ask ur frd and try tis two piece out 草原英雄小姐妹 ---> 林冲夜奔 from {A -> C}; see if he can
do them by adjusting less than 19 bridges or not else pls refrain from giving wrong info.
I bet to my bottom ringgit he can't even do it in less than half hour.

The best place to give these type of comments it is at Kopitiam. This thread is to help those who need nourishment and getting substantial advice.
NOT to BLOW WATER only.

Added on March 28, 2012, 10:28 pmTHIS OLDMAN might not b a guzheng player BUT he has done intensive research in tis particular instrument for more than 8yrs non-stop.

So can't teach your father how to make babies right.

Added on March 28, 2012, 10:55 pmI didn't drew the 1st blood... "LOL what kind of silly question was that?".

stop blaming others for wat u have done. .....

Dun like it .. go get a pacifier and a life.

This post has been edited by subangman: Mar 28 2012, 11:04 PM

Recall back wat u commented ... 1st u barge in and claimed "My friend who play the guzheng, he can change a key to another within 1~2mins during exam or performance. He said you don't need to be a professional to be able to tune that quickly, it is very basic actually."

" Basically changing the key required only moving a few bridges a little to left or to right"

later "My god! You actually tune all 21 strings? Fantastic!" and "21 strings guzheng, from D to G only move 4 bridges, G to C only move 4 bridges. Some keys will need to move a few more"..... and it involve first changing from A to D, 5 strings, then D to C, 8 strings, equal 13 strings." ... " hence the program can be done well under 2 hours."


...... wat about is all the who-ha saying can b done in 1~2 mins... !!!!!!!

From 1~2 min then under 2hrs (120mins) .... from a few bridges to 13 bridges .... waahhhh.... then u need to go back to primary school.

Wan to show tok-kong to SYT NOT here lar.

Dun do music .... do politics. !!!!!

I am an Old cina ahpek just like to help those who needs REAL HELP and to save MY CULTURE... NOT here to measure whois longer.

As I emphasise again .. I didn't start the first blood.

This post has been edited by subangman: Mar 29 2012, 12:22 AM

hahaha... here comes "THE MAN".

Bru....honestly to have him here we might have some fun but I need to increase my Norvasc back to 20mg instead of 10mg and sacrifice
the might be coming St James gate & Siew Yoke.

It's been a long time since this thread at mid temperature.

Who cares either he or his buddy can do it in or not.

Its just that what annoys me is some bloody recalcitrant peacock barging in and tyring to show how well it can dance.

What is happening to this young generation now.. even they are unsure or made a blunder yet
contumacious defending what they believe is right.

Who ever play this instrument or tune a string instrument before ... ask yourself honestly.

- After tuning or adjusting one string will you not do a balancing check the adjacent string to double confirmed even though that plastic chromatic tuner indicating spot on. Will you not test the entire strings again to reconfirm everything is in order ? Theoretically it might shows that you need to adjust say 4 bridges. Will you just adjust them (4 nos) and then that’s it or otherwise? If so why was all those baloney claims made that one need to do that particular quantity of strings only and start giving sarcastic remarks. That made me blew my lid !

- The RM200 issue … I am just trying gauge how sincere is the person. A stranger pops out from nowhere gave a ministration what will be the response back.
I shared and even concluded for a 20% discount for the deal. Ever I mentioned for returns?
I even mentioned the token will be shared for a meal not pocketing for personal uses after the additional actual labour service that will be provided which actually another gimmick.

Peacock came dashing in with its fanny dance and trying to claim superiority again and what ”人情最难还”… ! Even the old school boys whom didn’t take moral as a subject knows what is right or wrong and when to raise opinions. Wonder what is been taught in this so call Moral subject.

Anderyna;
Well I can said one thing that I am sure Empire / Faceless whom have met me in real person will agrees, actually it’s your luck that I bother to entertain to these stuff and even do chauffeuring.
You think I will accept that hard save money from you small young collage girl. If so you won’t be paying the discounted price or even hear about this piece of wood.

I’ve donated to a beginner here one new complete set of a limited imported edition guzheng strings whom I think she and her wood deserved it.


I like my friends to appreciate with me the best that I can afford.
All our gathering was in elite style and no those normal TT or AA gatherings even though I missed out the pervious one. (Thousand apology Brudders).
We held our esteem and head high and expect to be respected not just taken as keyboard warrior or cybertoopers.

Added on March 30, 2012, 12:04 amLucky he disappears into darkness else i will give him/his buddy the ultimate challange as I mentioned in my posting.
Play all that 5 songs within 2hrs and the bet is RM1,000/=. {Initially I typed RM10,000/= and I am sure u will say I hit them below belt} but
it will be donated to the collage gal for her guzheng.

As far as I know guzheng players in Malaysian shore now who know and play all these 5 songs can be counted and I know almost
all of them.. .Its a HE / single / sharing house . ... and staying in around Klang valley . .. 100% not any of them and they won't do them
using 1 guzheng. Its kamikaze. If he staying outside Klang valley then I might b able to guess who; as male G10 guzheng player below 25yrs
in Malaysia less than a handful.
If he is one the in my mind... I dun mind even sponsoring him to Korea for the 1st China/Korea/Japan competition to make us proud.

The real challange is the tuning of keys with one guzheng.

The total duration of all the 5 songs will be almost an hour . remaining 60 min spare for changing of keys.. average 12min per occasion.

This can be done but not at a normal guzheng player and 100% not a student.... he/she is a Guzheng GRANDmaster.

Even there might be one or two dark horse that I might not know .. well if he can play all these 5 songs; he deserves a REWARD
and recongnittion from me; and I will know another swordman in town. Hahaha.

Let us enjoy some good music here... Faceless bru : pls note ( 3:00 & 3:07) and ( 4:04 & 4:06).
she can even shift the bridges just like that without even lookin at it. (She is GOOD but left us too early).
Prof. Lin Ling 林玲is my ever favourate Guzheng Grandmaster. Met her with Meimei last year in Singapore
for the Sg. International Gz competition and her seminar.
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/q_xoDRg0lC0/



This piece fascinated me the very 1st time I heard it done by xy_heng (the lovely gal in page no 3).
Few Gz masters done this but the ones I like most are from SuChang, Liule and YuenSha.
Can hear it over and over again the whole day. *Been a year my gals promised me to play it for me and still waiting.. sigh*

The best part is when they try to weep the guzheng.

Honestly I also dun know when this gal of mine is free. Hardly sees her not engage with any activities during weekend.

In fact I just picked her up awhile ago. She went out since 10am tis morning; busy with her curicullam stuff.
Next week busy with her interview selection to handover her post and practice for dancesport.
Followby dancesport Championship competitionsl; and down to see her sifu.

May; busy with her midterm .. 7/5/2012 till 25/5/2012.

(2). Her Gz camp in Johore. Intensive preparation for the next duel. (4days)
(3). NUS-STEP biology camp in neuroscience; Sg. (6days)
