Mikan & Kim: Aahh-diikk…

Habang waiting for the food… sa Inang Bayan muna tayo. =)
Kinabukasan… Class time ng 3rd year college…
Tsuzune: (discussing) … The harp is a stringed instrument which has the plane of its strings positioned perpendicular to the soundboard. All harps have a neck, resonator and strings…
Takuji: (inaantok)
Tsuzune: … The concert harp is large and technically modern, designed for classical music and played solo, as part of chamber ensembles, and in symphony orchestras. It typically has six and a half octaves (46 or 47 strings), weighs about 80lb (36 kg), is approximately 1.8 m (6 ft) high, has a depth of 1.2 m (4 ft), and is 55 cm (21.5 in) wide at the bass end of the soundboard. The notes range from three octaves below middle C (or the D above) to three and a half octaves above, usually ending on G. Using octave designations, the range is C1 or D1 to G7…
Takuji:
Tsuzune: (may napansin) Takuji!!!! (binato ang whiteboard marker)
Takuji: (umilag, pero nauntog sa wall) Oww…
Class: (laughs)
Tsuzune: Makinig ka! Or baka gusto mong isumbong kita sa gf mo!
Takuji: Gf? Huh?
Class: Yii~!
Takuji: (sighs) (napakamot sa ulo) Sinong gf ang pinagsasasabi mo?
Class: Yii~! Mikan!
Takuji: Ha?! (namula) Anong kalokohan yon?! San yun galing —
Tsuzune: (claps 2x) Okay, back to the lesson… as I was saying… In the middle position the top wheel pinches the string, resulting in a natural, giving the scale of C major if all pedals are set in the middle position. In the bottom position another wheel is turned, shortening the string again to create a sharp, giving the scale of C-sharp major if all pedals are set in the bottom position… (etc.)
Takuji: (nagsulat nalang)
