箜篌演奏-湘妃竹 Konghou (chinese harp) performance

[hzh27]

That is not what Konghou looks like in old paintings. This looks more like a Western harp.

[doracatdodo]

@hzh27 Of course it's a modern instrument and was created in 1980's. It's designed to fit the modern music.

[hzh27]

@doracatdodo Yes, but why call it Konghou when it isn't anything like Konghou?

[jazzharpTV]

@doracatdodo Hi! Does anyone know where I could purchase a Konghou? I'm a harpist based in the U.S. (I'd prefer one with pedals)

[diakeng]

Very beautiful!

[jaejames]

you remind me of mermaids. .love the melody

[Orphel1]

i loving it chinesse ;)

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

Wow...I'm speechless. The note bending is incredible.

[grazieadio99]

娓娓動聽

扣人心弦

[isFuzzy]

this konghou seems far larger than the other konghous in other videos. great range.

[addicted2picnik2]

it sounds like the cross of a guzheng and a harp! amazing!

[IllNino28130]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW im speechless this is soooo beautiful lots of strings though lolz but absolutly beautiful

[ney7band]

[sankky091242716]

If I would like to learn this instrument how can I do?

[sankky091242716]

If I would like to learn this instrument how can I do?

[doracatdodo]

@sankky091242716 KongHou is not a commonly seen instrument in China. Rare people know about it and even difficult to know how to play it. If you would like to learn to play it, you could start from a harp and a Guzheng.

[Aerikku]

omg i want THAT harp sounds like heaven

[marjan12342]

wow! I love Chinese music.

[evelinharp]

[JOSSUE82]

aprendan algo del arpa peruano que es mas actual y moderno por ejemplo a este elmer de la cruz con la cancion lastima que ya nome quieres, o a sosimo sacramento con la cuñadita etc hay tantos.

[kim858585]

这首曲子弹完后，是个手指肯定流血，疼啊，为了艺术，小嫩手都不­要了。you the best, i admire u

[lovelyethereal]

This is probably nothing we will ever see in America. What an ethereal and masterful adaptation...

[SiulMaster]

This music is amazing... It's like walking on clouds,,, Gives me such an enormous amount of peace... Beautiful. Thanks for uploading it.

Essa música é incrível... É como andar em nuvens... Me dá uma quantidade enorme de paz... Linda. Obrigado por colocar esse vídeo.

[CaptnStarbring]

its not like she's playing it...more like she is weaving the music with her hands...

[thienly]

what is this exact piece called?

[doracatdodo]

It's called XiangFeiZhu (Bamboo from the Princess of Xiang place)

[flowerybamboo]

我看了很想学，这里有老师。可是认识或弹箜篌的人很少，大多数是­学古筝。现代的箜篌跟古代的不一样。

不知道值得吗？还是学古筝比较好？我也是很喜欢古筝。

[doracatdodo]

其實 買的到箜篌譜 可以找豎琴的老師敎 基本指法跟豎琴是完全相同的 跟豎琴差別在於按放吟揉的中國風味 但是 通常豎琴老師抓不到中國音樂的韻味 因為 豎琴沒有按放音 其實建議你先學古箏 畢竟師資很普遍 等到掌握了古箏的韻味跟技巧後 再轉箜篌 幫助會比較大 不過 就曲子的多樣性來說 學古箏路會比較寬廣 看你的抉擇吧

[SuperDebby11]

@doracatdodo 哦，真好

[m74417]

我覺得聽起來和古箏好像啊 就聽起來這方面怎麼分呢?

[doracatdodo]

其實很好分

除了有豎琴弦共振空氣產生的空靈聲音外

還兼有古箏琴碼共振面板的鏗鏘聲音

是兩種樂器的綜合體

跟古箏比起來 空靈許多

這是因為弦共振原理不同所造成的結果

再加上是徒手彈奏

彈奏時圓潤的肉甲撥絃聲響

與古箏戴堅硬義甲造成的清脆顆粒分明聲響不同

是十分明顯的區別

[m74417]

這麼一說的確是如此耶~!!

謝謝你讓我了解更多了!

我看古代的箜篌似乎沒那麼多弦

好像也沒有共振面板

不知道又是怎樣的聲音

是不是像小豎琴那樣 光想想就很有趣^^

[doracatdodo]

還有 箜篌共鳴鄉大

造成餘音長而繚繞

回聲環繞不絕

也是跟古箏的音響效果有明顯的區隔

[m74417]

原來如此^^真有趣~!謝謝你的解說!

不過在台灣箜篌真的很少見呢 想必價格應該也比較高吧?

[EricMetalGuitarist]

Wow. This Liu Yaning lady is incredible on the konghou! I'm an instant fan. Favorited and five stars for her and her music!

[Rheesoman]

its the perfect music to wind down after a long day at work

[LEADFOOT63]

yes,i understand,I just think this music is very relaxing in the high pressure environment I am in everyday usa,I am not trying to learn to play this,only buy music to listen to to relax,this is nice,my real dream is to go to china one day some how .

[LEADFOOT63]

i think now i am definately convinced that i want to be a chinese citizen and leave the usa forever,what a beautiful sound,so relaxing,i will persue my new interest in this type of music

[doracatdodo]

I think you shoud take enough considerarion if you would like to learn this instrument. Actually this instrument is not well-known and not popular in China.

[chenwenhua2269]

Wow heavenly chinese harp. How much will one cost? and is it only available in China?

[Tokykynay]

Excellent interpretation.... Performance N1, Bery beautiful....

[brugernavnnummer100]

Please could anybody tell who the harpist is? :) thanx!

[doracatdodo]

Her name is Liu, Ya-Ning.

[ChocoToT]

it is beautiful... i think i just saw my great great great great chinese grandmother smile at me.... that's how powerful the song is.

[angelaharpist]

Fantastic!

[isFuzzy]

i really love this much more than guzheng and guqin. i always got this vision of the ancient chinese civilization listening to this....

[doracatdodo]

But you could not ignore the influences and contributions from guzheng and guqin on it.

[KenKY4]

That is how I feel. Is it on CD by any chance.

[puddingCRAZE]

i play this kind of harp too

[doracatdodo]

Maybe you can show us the video of your playing on konghou someday. That would be great.

[Faymedelic]

very very nice... I love this chinese harp playing

[doracatdodo]

Thanks for your appreciation~

[saywizard]

dope..samples galore..i can listen to this all day... when she bends the notes it sends chills to the soul..anyone else?>

[paramsaram]

wow.. gorgeous! it sounds so much chinese!!!!

[thienly]

this made me cry happy tears :')

[doracatdodo]

I'm glad you like it. Thank you.

[D3aTHKniGhT2]

Talented! =D with chinese art too =D

[serenbren]

Wow. This is beautiful!

[ConcreteHarpist]

Is the harp you play a double row pedal harp? It is the most unusual harp I have ever seen, but it is equally beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[doracatdodo]

I am not the player in the video. I just uploaded it. This kind of harp is a new invetion of acient chinese harp and was created in the 1950's. It has not only a double row pedal but also has bridges so that the player can bend the strings to make the bending sound with chinese performing way.

[sonoio25]

Only a word: Love.

[Pathogen82]

I love that bending sound.

Beautifully talented.

peace

[SAS2635]

Very peacefully...

[kiss18sx]

omg...fantastic..

[fliony]

and the sound is so beautiful...

I love it...
