The history of falling piano

After the long-term performance practice of folk artists, I deeply feel that the plucked small sanxian cannot closely cooperate with the singer's dragging tune, and it is difficult to meet the artistic requirements. As a result, some artists imitated the huqin and put on a ponytail bow between the outer and middle strings of the small three-string (reserving the inner string as a resonance string) as a stringed instrument, and received good results in the accompaniment. People call this instrument "pulling the three strings".

Later, with the emergence of actresses in the art of rap, the vocal range and timbre of singers were significantly different. In order to improve the tuning of the instrument and increase the brightness of the timbre, and to meet the needs of the development of the pendant book, the "pulling the three strings" was added. "The python skin surface was changed to paulownia wood surface and the inner string was removed.

At first, the rap music "Sanxian Jiaozishu" was accompanied by a small three-string, and later in "Yingge Liushu", the three-string was changed to a two-string, and the python skin on the drum was changed to a thin tungsten board, which was played with a ponytail bow. , the beginning of the fall of the piano.
