The harp (harp) sounds like a fairy.

There is a saying that forest elves and mermaids like to play elegant musical instruments, and their transparent tones appeal to people.

Why does this thin string inflate such a rich midrange? If it's not magic, is it the blessing of the fairy, or is it the crystal of human wisdom that continues to enchant humans and investigate unstoppable sounds?

(--Nice tone)

I now play the harp strings one by one, checking the pitch of the high and cool tones of the tuning fork that I once played.

One set of seven strings. Six red painted strings are precisely adjusted to a single octave of the same tone. Black is the position of four degrees (three upper, four-eyed sounds counted from the first), that is, the subordinate.

If the knowledge of the book I once read is correct, if you start playing one by one from the red string, you will have a gentle sunlight tone. If you start playing two down and six down strings, you will have a short tone of the dark forest.

What surprised me was the complexity of how this harp works.

Short tones are more complicated to handle than long tones. Raise the melody six and seven degrees when it rises, but not when it falls. In chords, it raises only seven times.

This harp responds to the complexity of how the music works.

Operating the metal lever on the upper side of the string pulls the string slightly harder. This raises the sound level by exactly half a level.

This high-precision lever is spectacular in all the 25 strings strung on the harp.

The musical instruments I tried at the store weren't cheap either, but this is not a comparison of those instruments.

"...... you've received a luxury product that is absolutely luxurious."

There's no way I don't know how much this instrument has lined up in store for amazing technology and careful checking and adjustment.

Of course it's expensive, but it's probably overwhelmingly more powerful than the player who was playing a little harp in Hammond's tavern.

Shivira-san is expecting too much from me.

I wonder if you think you'll be able to play by suddenly being given something like this. I guess you think so.

But I don't feel bad about that expectation.

"Really, that sounds good."

Touching the center makes a round sound. Especially when playing the center of the string, the sound as if it had turned into another instrument is an incredible beauty in the tongue.

I can play forever...

... oh, I have to do what Shivira asked me to do.

The more people there are, the more lively they become.

That was the first impression I learned when I stepped into Hammond.

Plus, it makes me a healthy child... "

"It's as busy as the heart of the entertainment district..."

I sat in the corner of the room and played the harp with my fingernails.

As expected, even if you lose to the voice of a child, the volume you can hear from the child nearby is enough.

Well, in the first place, the appearance of this harp is quite remarkable.

"What's that? Wow, that's awesome!"

If one is interested, the fire of curiosity quickly spreads to the children who are poor in daily changes.

When I noticed, I was surrounded by shining children.

"Don't touch the previous child." Because it's expensive. "

"Um, just a little bit, isn't it?"

One or two is fine, but I'm sure we'll all get along.

There's a good chance you'll get bored soon, but in the meantime, the instruments are safe.

"And..."

"... this instrument is from you." If you break it because I made a mistake, the person who bought it will be sad. "

“Who bought it for you?”

Shivira-san.

The children looked at each other in the face when they gave their names and muttered, "That's right," and took a step back and sat down.

You seem to like it quite a bit.

Shivira's depression doesn't seem very good to the children either.

Even so, when I see a bright person sinking, I feel sinking together.

... you weren't in a position to tell me that I was sinking in with my childhood friend until the other day.

While growing up, he plays a song that he remembers lightly for the children who are paying close attention to me.

It's a simple song with a long tone. I can't do an elaborate accompaniment, but with this song, it's just a left-handed trilogy.

... the actual song has a bard song, but I'm not pitch confident because it's a man song.

The disadvantage of absolute pitch is that it is difficult to transfer and sing.

……♪

Thinking so, I heard a warm humming from nowhere.

It's definitely a song from this song.

She stopped her surprised hand and turned towards her voice.

"... oh, I'm sorry. I'm so surprised."

“No, thank you. Marcus knows this song.”

It was Marcus, a priest at St. Goddard's Orphanage, who sang on my harp.

Frederica's colleague is a spectacularly elderly man.

He was a sharp-eyed man, and some children moved behind him, who were usually tough on instruction.

"Yes, there was a guy in the old cafeteria who liked to play and talk." I think it belonged to Autzwall. "

"Could it be a red-haired man with a white lute painted with a painting of wheat?" I was at Hammond's tavern. "

"What do you know?" Yeah, yeah. He was a big drinker, so I'm pretty sure he was. I see, he went to Hammond.... "

The same person who made me remember this song was the same person who made Marcus remember it.

I think it's an interesting connection, and this is how folk songs will be spoken without knowing it.

If you don't mind, can I sing?

"If you don't mind the awkward accompaniment."

If you don't mind my amateur singing.

When Marcus gave it back, he sat down to avoid looking at me.

I think the way these lines are drawn is by a goddess priest.

Play the strings and unfold the chords of the prelude in four bars.

Finally, feeling the rhythm of weakness accurately, Marcus sang out loud.

--Otzwall is a place where a young man with the profession of [warrior] plowed the earth with his power every day, turning a hard soil land into a cropland on one side.

Even though the legend of Tsubakure is the merit of a warrior, the folk song of Tsubakure gives a sense of tenderness rather than strength.

The reason for this is probably that the other half of this poem celebrates the "Goddess of the Earth" and the "Sun Goddess" at the same time.

Plants do not grow just because they are nutritious. If the green leaves do not receive the sunlight, they will not nourish.

Even for the Goddess of the Earth, the Sun Goddess is still a big presence.

The three goddesses, including the sun, the earth, and finally the sea, are popular symbols of the "grace" that gently envelops people.

In Marcus' poem, there is a richness that makes the body unique to a grand man sound as an instrument, and at the same time, I feel that the feelings are in the song.

If that bard is purely in the musical score, is Marcus in the poem that blesses the goddess?

It was an inner singing voice that made me imagine it.

A relaxing time in which the sun's legs extend indoors.

This is the only special concert that no store can listen to.
