I went to see Ravi Shankar in concert at the Barbican three times in 1997,98 and 99, after George Harrison called him the best musician on the planet. Sorry folks, but I can't help but wonder how much better this chinese lady AND Ravi would sound playing a more melodic instrument, rather than something that sounds like rusty bedsprings...
Well i like it, I am her biggest fan ever, ever ever biggest BIGGEST fan. lol I LUV HER ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cause i am her biggest fan ever aghhhhhhh :)
it's interesting to see how the same concept (strings on a board with a soundbox) has evolved into so many different instruments across different cultures.... and I bet some of them were developed without even knowing of any of the other designs
@MrBGJM I dont think it was an assumption, I think it was a best guess at naming it.. He could have used the internet, but honestly, you probably get more views with his title.. I studied music and never heard the term pipa.
@gleventhal Too bad Pipa is a name not a term then? I didnt study music and I know what it is called so clearly wherever you are studying is second rate. Whether is was an assumption or guess, it was ignorant and offensive. And if you are uploading videos to get as many views as possible then your intentions could be better.
@MrBGJM A term is just a word, it can be a name as well. Not second rate, it's just this instrument is not important to western music, which is what I studied.
@gleventhal A term is a method of describing words, Pipa is the name of something, not a term, and term itself is not a term. Well maybe you may want to look into eastern music before piping up? =\
@MrBGJM You're a bit arrogant... The point is, after looking into it, the pipa is known as the Chinese Lute, so if he had called it a chinese lute, he wouldnt have been so far off... Every comment you have made has been arrogant, including the first comment, which is why I chimed in here in the first place. You said his chinese guitar title was an assumption, I simply said it was his best guess at naming it based on his frame of reference, He didnt assume the name was chinese guitar.
@gleventhal Arrogant, I think not. You are ill-informed and are making larger assumptions than I. The westerners call it the chinese lute because of its similarities to the english lute, but it is not traditionally named so. You may find me arrogant but I am not, and thinking so is quite foolish
@MrBGJM I am ill informed? What statements have I made that could be disputed? I have only expressed opinions, with the exception as to the definition of the word "term". The reason I bothered to say anything here is because you are the one who is presumptuous and arrogant, regarding your initial comments about the initial poster being uneducated. Honestly, you come across as a snotty kid, maybe you know more about the national instrument of china, but what talents to you possess?
@MrBGJM It's a fretted stringed instrument. Sounds like it's in the guitar family of instruments to me. Sure, it's not a "guitar" by name, but calling it a guitar really isn't that different than, say, calling the girl "Asian." Plus, one is not "uneducated" just because one equates something he/she is presented with to something he/she is familiar with. It's like context clues. Plus, your comment was snobby and annoying. Peace!
@TheDancingSaxophone One is uneducated and ignorant via assuming such nonsense and not doing a simple search on the internet. So nice try, 10 for effort, 3 for execution.
@MrBGJM He assumed nothing, asshole. He just equated what he saw with what he already knew. Also, just because your opinion is different than mine doesn't mean you're automatically right. Also, how the hell is someone going to church for that? "Chinese guitar." Guess what would come up in the results? This, and probably every other chinese stringed instrument. Thus, it's probably not too far off. Also, I found a couple chinese websites that equated it to a guitar.
@MrBGJM protip: just knowing what a pipa is (most likely because of the incubus song Aqueous transmission) doesn't mean you are or aren't educated. Don't be an asshole. :D
@misterbuckethead Protip: I dont listen to incubus and probably wont ever, I know its a pipa because I did chinese studies and am dating a chinese woman and am self teaching the mandarin language. Once again, someone assumes crap. Good job!
@MrBGJM this makes you someone who studied chinese and dates a chinese woman. it doesn't make you educated. Your needless ambivalence only makes you look more like an asshole. Congratulations, you looked smart on the internet! here's your medal...
And i'm *sure* you're more than aware of all the proper maintenance procedures that come along with owning a pipa, much like I do, and I'm sure since you know that you must also be educated in everything else too, right?
@misterbuckethead im a man of much knowledge, but not all. But I do like your contradictory statement in the very first line you typed in. Im sure by now you could work out that I dont care what you, or any other random on the internet thinks of me. Thanks for the medal dude, ill add it to the collection of "crap I get from idiots". laters.
@MrBGJM Looks like the context is lost on you man. A person who is "educated", as we so often colloquially say, is someone with enough practical knowledge to live an informed lifestyle. I never said you weren't educated, I said that you pompously declaring the fact that you know what a pipa is (whoop de doo) does not imply that you are any more intelligent than someone who doesn't.
"The uneducated frustrate me with their assumptions."
@MrBGJM I also wouldn't expect you to know that the word "pipa" has existed for thousands of years in eastern music, having been used to describe multiple types of instruments, including several plucked chordophone. The unique sound of these instruments is attributed to the relationships between the strings rather than just the length of the string. A good example of an instrument like this is the sitar, an instrument that I also own one of and have sold several of.
