How many years have you played the piano?

Pendants, also known as pendants. Play a stringed instrument. Popular in all parts of Henan Province. It is the main accompaniment instrument of Henan rap "pendant book" Because of its long fingerboard, the large-scale glide is the most distinctive, which can set off the aria in detail. While playing the piano, the performer also stepped on the clapper to accompany the singer.

At the beginning of the 20th century, it was reformed from Xiao Sanxian. The original rap music "Three Killer Books" was accompanied by Xiao Sanxian. Later, in Ying Ge Liu Shu, the three strings were changed to two strings, the python skin on the piano drum was changed to a paulownia board, and it was played with a ponytail bow, which became a modern piano.

Playing the piano has a history of nearly a hundred years. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, rap music forms such as "Ying Ge Willow" and "Three-string Hinge Zishu" were popular in Henan, and the main musical instrument was Xiao Sanxian. After long-term performance practice, folk artists deeply feel that the small three-stringed instrument can't closely cooperate with the singer's drawstring, and it is difficult to meet the artistic requirements. So some artists followed the example of Hu Qin and tied a ponytail bow between the outer and middle strings of Xiao Sanxian as a stringed instrument, which received good results in accompaniment. At that time, people called this instrument "playing three strings".

Later, with the appearance of actresses in rap art, the singer's range and timbre were obviously different. In order to improve the tuning of musical instruments, increase the brightness of timbre, and meet the needs of the development of pendant calligraphy, the python face of "pulling three strings" was changed to the paulownia face, and the internal strings were removed, gradually forming today's pendant piano. At the same time, Henan Quju also adopted this method, changing the accompaniment of the small three-stringed drum into a drum, forming today's Hu.
