I play wind instruments in Kansai

Inside the first music classroom.

"I am Kanon Tani, the head of the Haruki Brass Band. The instrument I am in charge of is the euphonium, and I am also the leader of the bass section."

As Gu Huayin spoke, she sat down on the steel pipe chair. The hard edge of the wooden chair quietly dug into the skin of her thigh, forming a shallow, soft indentation.

Through the thin fabric of the skirt, you can see the squeezed buttocks and thighs spread out slightly to the sides, presenting an unguarded appearance.

"This is our orchestra's principal player, Nana Shida, who plays the bass saxophone. Well... there's nothing else that needs to be mentioned."

The musical instrument held in Shida Nana's arms was a heavy brass object.

The enormous bell-shaped opening resembles an elegant, blooming golden tulip, while the curved body of the tube flows smoothly, radiating a warm, honey-like luster.

"That person just now was Daidoji Seiko, the vice president of our brass band, a trumpet player, a very pretty girl."

Gu Huayin raised her hand and pointed to the cabinet against the wall, her voice gentle yet full of feminine power.

"You can go and see what's inside; it might be quite interesting."

"Wait, can't we just start?"

Nana Shida stood to one side with her legs crossed.

"The cabinets aren't anything special, and since I didn't get them myself, there's no reason for me to show them off."

"I'm not bragging to junior Miyamune," Tani Hanane smiled, clapping her hands lightly. "So, junior Miyamune, are you sure you were ever in the Shin-Asahi Brass Band?"

"certainly."

"If you have experience, that's best. I have a lot of trouble dealing with freshmen who have no experience at all, since everyone's idea of ​​instrument allocation is always too idealistic."

So they gave Ai Eto to Seiko Daidouji.

Many freshmen only chose to go together because they thought "I want to play this instrument" or "This instrument looks cool," without thinking too much about it.

"Speaking of which, what's your relationship with Liu Mu?" Tani Hanane asked.

Shida Nana glanced at her and said, "Does it matter whether you ask that or not?"

"I'm just curious, since being in love can affect your playing."

"Just ordinary friends."

Gongling Wang considers herself a friend, after all, they have known each other since childhood.

"Were you editor A or editor B before?" Shida Nana, standing to the side, wanted to get straight to the point, her eyes subtly revealing a hint of anticipation.

Gongling Wang answered truthfully:

"Editor B, the competition for Editor A is too fierce, there are too many people, and it's very tiring."

Nana Shida raised an eyebrow and simply nodded.

"Do you want to continue playing the flute, or choose to switch to another section?" Tani Hanane asked.

"I'm fine with either."

"Looks like the type who's willing to contribute to the team."

Gu Huayin leaned forward slightly, her two round breasts resting on the table, a charming smile on her face.

"Then I can't let you go."

Nana Shida set her bass saxophone aside and stared intently at Miyamine:

"Did you bring your flute with you?"

"No, I left it at home."

He hasn't even joined the wind instrument club yet, so how could he possibly bring a flute to school?

"What flute?" she continued to ask.

Gu Huayin stopped talking, just kept watching the two of them and smiling, her slender white fingers playing with the ends of her hair.

"Yamaha's YFL-222".

"Hmm..." Shida Nana looked down at Tani Hanane and blinked.

Tani Hana raised her hand to smooth her hair, her lips tracing a smooth curve:

"It's a typical entry-level model, with a closed-loop C-tail, curved lines, and I don't think it has an E-key for separation, right?"

"right."

The E-key split is a device that makes it easier to play the high E. It may be dispensable for masters, but it is a very good device for learners.

"Our wind instrument section's company-issue flutes have a B-hole? And they're made with a pure silver mouthpiece and a nickel-silver body, and they're all very well maintained," said Tani Hana.

The B hole has an extra low-pitched B compared to the C hole, but it is rarely used and the pitch is more difficult to control.

The price of a flute is determined by its materials. The so-called nickel-silver plating refers to the fact that nickel-silver is the skeleton of the flute, that is, the material, while silver plating is the surface treatment.

The next level features a sterling silver mouthpiece, followed by solid silver flutes, gold flutes, platinum flutes, and flutes made of mixed materials, all of which command higher prices.

The most direct way to see if a school cares about its wind instrument section is to check the value of the public instruments and their condition.

If what Kanon Tani said is true, then the Osamu Wind Ensemble is not beyond redemption.

"Good instruments are just icing on the cake," said Nozomi Miyamine. "The most expensive instruments aren't necessarily the best; the best instruments are those that suit the music."

"See, I knew he was a boy who cared a lot about the team," Tani Hanane said to Shida Nana with a smile.

Nana Shida crossed her arms and said bluntly:

"Can you play a tune on the spot?"

"Sure, but I don't have any instruments right now," Miyamune Nozomi said.

"I'll go get it."

As she left the first music classroom, the butterfly scarf on her chest swayed gently.

"Don't worry, no matter how badly you play, you'll get in," said Gu Huayin with an innocent smile. "We're not that strict."

"It's alright," Miyamine Nozomi said.

"Oh, you seem very confident. I'm looking forward to it!"

Her affability made Miyamine Nozomi feel like the afternoon sun, making people unconsciously relax their shoulders, while at the same time possessing a deeper, procreative attraction.

The two didn't have much time alone before Shida Nana came in carrying a rectangular hard-shell box, which was spotless.

Gong Lingwang could tell at a glance that it was the same model as his instrument.

"Isn't this instrument a bit lacking?" Tani Hana asked.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

"All the other good stuff was taken by Hasebe and his gang, so this is all that's left."

"It's okay, I'm more comfortable using the same model," said Miyamune Nozomi.

Nana Shida placed the instrument case on the table and opened the silver clasp.

A deep, dark velvet cloth came into view, its texture gently enveloping everything, and the three sections of the flute lay quietly.

"Prepare it yourself," Shida Nana said, while constantly glancing at Miyamine Nozomi.

Gongling Wang nodded, lifted the main body of the flute, picked up the headstock with his right hand and pointed it at the joint point, his fingers could feel the delicate resistance of the metal threads.

The key to assembling a flute is to be gentle, align it carefully, avoid brute force, and not to overtighten the threads.

This was not difficult for Miyamune Nozomi. In fact, in the brass band, anything unrelated to playing the brass band was not difficult.

After assembly, confirm that the center of the blowhole, the center of the key, and the end of the tailpiece are all in a straight line, then adjust the mouthpiece.

"Your technique is quite gentle," Gu Huayin said with a smile. "The other boys are a bit rough when they're piecing things together."

"Like stuffing a steel pipe in." Shida Nana said this with a displeased expression.

Miyamine Nozomi said, "That's what my seniors taught me."

"Hmph, what you're saying makes it sound like our predecessors didn't teach us anything," said Gu Huayin.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then I'll take that as your meaning."

What do you mean?

"Go ahead and brag, brag about whatever you want," said Nana Shida.

Gong Lingwang nodded and sat up straight.

Gently press the edge of the blowhole against the lower lip line, and relax your lips naturally.

A whistling, flat note struggled out of the tube, and the next note suddenly rose to a sharp whistle, bouncing jarringly in the first music classroom.

Gong Lingwang remained expressionless, his fingers on the silver keys stiff as newly sprouted branches. He was a beat too slow to press the key he should have, and his hand was stuck to the keys when he should have lifted it.

What should have been a smooth, melodic line turned into a series of independent, dry, and unrelated notes.

The Sicilian Dance lasts for more than three minutes, but after playing for a little over a minute, Tani Hana-on couldn't help but clap her hands and interrupt.

"Um... I always thought I underestimated Junior Gongling, but I didn't expect I overestimated you. After all, your flute splicing technique is very skillful."

Gongling Wang did not speak, but simply put down his flute.

Shida Nana sighed dejectedly, her shoulders slumped, and she said with a hint of disappointment:

"It's absolutely a mess, completely inexplicable. Even middle schoolers play better than you. What are you doing in the Shin-Hsu Brass Band? Are you just messing around?"

"I don't deny that," Miyamine Nozomi said.

Seeing that there wasn't a trace of shame on his face, Gu Huayin clapped her hands lightly and asked in surprise:

"Hmm...you seem to think you did a pretty good job bragging?"

"No, I know it's a terrible performance," Miyamune shrugged. "But I never engage in internal strife."

Nana Shida and Kanon Tani exchanged a glance, and the orchestra's concertmaster tapped his fingers on the table, saying:

"You should start fighting amongst yourselves. After studying for several years, you've only learned this little bit of the basics."

"If only everyone had your level of awareness," Tani Hanane laughed, "Even knowing it's terrible, you can still calmly brag to us."

"So I can't join the club?" Miyamine Nozomi said.

Nana Shida raised her hand and slapped her forehead hard, her feelings complicated.

For the band's principal, besides making the already crowded first music classroom even more crowded, it's hard to say what benefit a junior with poor skills would bring to the club.

The good thing is that he was born in the first year, so he has a bright future ahead of him. Maybe he'll become a big shot next year or the year after.

She comforted him in this way.

"Of course you can. Even the Hokkaido Shin-Asahi Troupe allows you to join their brass band, so Haruki has no reason to refuse."

Gu Huayin cupped her cheeks in her hands, looking at him tenderly as she spoke.

"I don't think it's because junior Gong Ling is bad; it's just that I haven't discovered your strengths yet. So, please give me more time to observe you, okay?"

She is so gentle, full of feminine energy, like a mother, radiating an irresistible charm that makes you want to enter her body and soul.

Gongling Wang nodded:

"it is good."

Shida Nana's facial muscles twitched violently:

"......good?"

Kanon Tani wasn't angry. She took out the club application form she had prepared long ago from the drawer:

"Just fill this out, and I'll add you to the brass band group. We'll discuss anything that comes up there."

"Um."

Gong Lingwang stood and filled out the form. The form was nothing special, and there were no strange questions about sexual fetishes.

The only thing they wanted to know about privacy was their home address.

After finishing the assignment and leaving the First Music Classroom, I checked the stock chart and found that neither of their stocks had changed in value.

It seems that my relationship with them is too distant, and my joining them will not have any impact in any way.

"Why did it take you longer than me?"

Hearing a sound, Miyamine Nozomi noticed that Kato Ai was standing alone to the side, holding her phone, with no one else around.

[Character: Ai Kato]

[Status: Newly Listed]

[Type: Growth Stock (Currently at the beginning of explosive growth, with the potential for rapid expansion in its fundamentals, thereby driving sustained value appreciation)]

Listing price: 15

Total Shares: 10000

Previously, you wouldn't see these kinds of system prompts on Ai Kato, but they appeared after she joined the brass band.

Moreover, according to the system, her stock type is extremely valuable for returns.

In other words, does she have a special talent for the oboe?

If I buy it now, I'll become one of its original shareholders? The future returns will definitely be high?

Gong Lingwang really wanted to buy it, but he only had tens of thousands of yuan on him, and his initial investment was far too little.

No, I have to go to my dad and win some gold coins, even if it means lying.

"What's wrong?" Kato Ai noticed that he was staring at her, so she subconsciously raised her hand and kept smoothing her bangs.

"How did you get here so fast?" he asked.

Kato Ai put her phone in her skirt pocket and tapped the green-painted ground with the tip of her shoe.

"Shouldn't this be quick? Daidouji-senpai only asked a few questions, and then she had me fill out some forms to join the club."

"Obi or bassoon?"

"I even touched the oboe," Kato Ai said, standing on tiptoe. "It doesn't seem too difficult."

It's different when you don't actually speak.

Gong Lingwang glanced at his watch, then turned and walked downstairs.

Kato Ai quickly followed, her indoor shoes making a sound on the floor: "Do you know why Kirishima-san joined the club?"

"have no idea."

"Hehe, I know, Daidouji-senpai just told me."

Her haughty "come and ask me" expression was so easy to understand.

However, if he wanted to know, Kirishima Ruka would tell him. This was actually quite absurd, but Miyamine Nozomi felt good about herself.

"Don't you want to know?"

"Does the club still have oboes for you to use?" Miyamune Nozomi naturally changed the subject.

"No, but I told Daidouji-senpai that I can buy it myself."

No wonder she agreed to let you play the oboe.

hum~~

Their phones rang simultaneously. Kato Ai's notification voice was a cutesy "Yahoo~~", while Miyamine Nozomi just clicked the default notification.

"What's wrong? Isn't she cute?"

Kato Ai noticed his gaze but didn't seem to care as she turned on her phone screen.

Both of them joined the Haruki Brass Band's group chat, "Happy Brass Band".

"So corny—!" Kato Ai exclaimed. "Who came up with this name? It's so corny!"

Gong Lingwang glanced at it; it was a social chat room with over eighty people, but not many were chatting or posting updates.

Kanon Tani: "There's a very important meeting tomorrow, everyone needs to be there."

At the same time, she also tagged Hayami Supervisor.

Not many people replied.

Ai Kato: Okay!

Kato Ai: Hello everyone, I'm Kato Ai, a first-year student. Nice to meet you!

Ai Kato: Rabbit hugging a heart.jpg.

New information appeared on the screen, and Miyamine glanced at the girl beside him.

She was browsing through her collection of emojis, muttering to herself, "This won't do," "Why is this picture still here?" and "Send a big smiley face."

"Hey, don't just stare! Send me something, it's so embarrassing if no one replies!" Kato Ai said, tugging at his shirt.

"What did you say?"

"Whatever, sending some emojis would be fine too. This chat room has over eighty people, and it's so quiet!"

Gong Lingwang shrugged, not knowing what to say, so he posted a picture of a panda with a standard professional fake smile.

"Whoa..." Kato Ai raised her right eyebrow.

"Is that not allowed?"

"Don't you know these smiley face pictures are really uncomfortable? Please don't post them anymore, they're making things even colder!"

Kato Ai gripped her phone with both hands, and seeing that no one else spoke, she dejectedly put it back in her pocket.

"Hey, Miyamine-kun, what will my life be like if I become a master oboe player?"

"You will be the center of attention, and your future life will benefit from it."

"Yeah, hehehe, over eighty people, and I'm right in the middle? Wow..."

She suddenly started laughing maniacally, as if she could hear fans calling her name all around her.
