Pipa 101 with Wu Man

[@noacastillo9608]

Wu Man is the best Pipa player I've heard

[@Gichanasa]

Her vibrato is right up there with B.B. King... this is one of the best explanations given regarding giving flavor to the music with the embellishment technique and soul.

BB King must have learned that Vibrato from listening to Pipa players

[@MusicTeacherClassStuff]

Bb king actually started out playing the pipa

[@Gichanasa]

@@MusicTeacherClassStuff Whoa for real? Would be very interested in studying up on that history! Any documentations?

Jiaju has a 5 String Electric Pipa, & I wanted to take that instrument, & put a Buzzing Bridge on it to create the "Sitar-pa. A Sitar-pa is a Chinese Pipa that's modified to emulate a Sitar sound, this way you can play Indian Ragas.

I recently purchased a Pipa from China. The problem is that the string height is really high. I am knowledgeable in playing a basic 6 string guitar. The strings rest fairly close to the frets. However, on the Pipa, the strings are very high. 7-8mm above the frets on the upper bamboo frets on the body. So, pressing the string to the fret to play a note takes a lot of pressing down to reach the frets. Moving from the bottom A string to the D string makes that transition rather difficult. I was wondering if that string height was normal for the Pipa.

It is normal so that pulling strings becomes possible

[@dlmusicproduction3132]

@@yananpu576 Thanks for the reply. I actually sold that Pipa not long after and found a much nicer Pipa. String height is a bit lower. Easier to play and sounds very nice. I think it was considered a soloist Pipa.

真没想到要听英文才对pipa有更深刻的了解，以前只知道"千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面。"的大人物出场。
