In the hot summer, the crisp and pleasant sound of the pipa came in bursts, as if with a hint of coolness.
Follow the moving music and walk into the new era civilization practice station in Tengfei Community, Tikeqi Township, Korla City, Xinjiang. A unique instrumental music studio is amazing: Dutar, Sattar, Pinger, Rewapu, Husitar, Aijie...More than 100 pieces of national traditional musical instruments of more than 20 kinds and complicated patterns "stuffed" the small room full.
Feng Jingyu, a volunteer of the Western Project, embraced the pipa and was immersed in the performance. Eli Maihesumu and his friends listened and hummed. After one piece was played, they picked up the dutar and played with the lute.
Nearly 70-year-old Eli Maihesumu is the owner of this instrumental music studio. All kinds of musical instruments in the house are made by himself. The craft of making musical instruments was taught by himself two years ago. I like the joy of playing musical instruments, singing and dancing. Aili Maihesumu learns online, finds materials, measures dimensions, draws pictures, makes, polishes... Step by step, I ponder one by one, and now I can make a variety of musical instruments proficiently , became known as the "Happiness Maker".
Feng Jingyu came here with a pipa, and Aili Maihesumu was equally excited. He took out the pipa drawings and designed pipa samples downloaded from the Internet, and touched the pipa with joy in his eyes.
Aili Maihesumu said that in the future, he will do pipa, matouqin, flute, guitar... Let music accompany a good life and make life full of beautiful and cheerful melodies.
