| [00:00.017] | When it comes to owning an upright piano, society has changed its tune. |
| [00:06.681] | One hundred years ago, having the instrument in your home was a sign of social status, |
| [00:13.044] | as well as being an important source of home entertainment. |
| [00:18.024] | But, nowadays, it seems that the piano's heyday is over, |
| [00:22.425] | and fewer people are choosing to tinkle the ivories at home. |
| [00:27.567] | The once impressive instrument sits silently in the corner of people's living rooms, gathering dust. |
| [00:34.800] | Many families have had to face the music - the instrument takes up too much space - |
| [00:41.267] | and so make the difficult decision of selling their piano. |
| [00:45.400] | But, to their dismay, no-one is buying. |
| [00:50.427] | Even when they're going for a song, buyers are not coming forward. |
| [00:55.466] | What's more, many owners are finding that they cannot even give their old pianos away. |
| [01:01.619] | Piano restorers across the globe have been inundated with calls from owners, |
| [01:07.344] | hoping to hear that their instrument is worth a lot of money. |
| [01:11.802] | John Gist, from the Gist Piano Centre in Louisville, Kentucky, |
| [01:16.958] | receives 10 to 15 calls a day from people asking how much their piano is worth. |
| [01:23.528] | The answer comes like a broken record – not much. |
| [01:28.439] | "It becomes a money pit," says Gist, and his advice is simply "to get rid of it." “ |
| [01:35.125] | Pianos are complicated to restore, as they have thousands of moving parts. |
| [01:40.385] | Fine-tuning the instrument is complex: loosening the strings can take around 10 hours; |
| [01:47.084] | even just polishing the piano can take up to 70. |
| [01:51.520] | So, the instruments that once rang out in thousands of households across the world are slowly and steadily ending up on the scrapheap. |
| [02:01.597] | But the death knell hasn't sounded for the piano just yet. |
| [02:06.647] | There is one market where the piano is booming – China. |
| [02:11.918] | Sales of pianos have reached a crescendo in the Chinese market, |
| [02:17.363] | with 300,000 pianos made there every year. |
| [02:21.357] | Famous Chinese virtuosos like Lang Lang, who first performed as a child, |
| [02:27.267] | have struck a chord with many other young musicians who have an interest in classical music, |
| [02:32.781] | and parents in tune with the times see piano playing as a way their child can get ahead. |
| [02:39.747] | But despite its growing popularity in China, |
| [02:43.660] | the traditional, wooden piano appears to have had its swan song, |
| [02:47.921] | with those who are buying opting for digital versions, |
| [02:51.660] | which are cheaper, quieter and, crucially, can be easily stored so they don't gather dust. |

| [00:00.017] | 当提到拥有一架竖式钢琴时，社会舆论已经改变了论调。 |
| [00:06.681] | 一百年前，在家中安置这件乐器是一种社会地位的象征， |
| [00:13.044] | 同样也是家庭娱乐的一个重要来源。 |
| [00:18.024] | 但现如今，钢琴的全盛期看起来已经结束了， |
| [00:22.425] | 选择在家中弹钢琴的人越来越少。 |
| [00:27.567] | 那曾经深入人心的乐器安静地被搁置在人们客厅的角落里积灰。 |
| [00:34.800] | 许多家庭不得不勇敢面对现实——这件乐器占据了太大的空间—— |
| [00:41.267] | 因此作出了卖掉钢琴这个艰难的决定。 |
| [00:45.400] | 但令他们失望的是，没有人愿意买。 |
| [00:50.427] | 即使他们贱价抛售，也没有买家上门来。 |
| [00:55.466] | 此外，许多钢琴主发现他们甚至无法将旧钢琴白送出去。 |
| [01:01.619] | 全世界的钢琴修复师已经被钢琴主的电话淹没， |
| [01:07.344] | 他们希望听到自己的这件乐器可以卖很多钱。 |
| [01:11.802] | 来自肯塔基州路易斯维尔吉斯特钢琴中心的约翰吉斯特， |
| [01:16.958] | 每天会收到10到15个来询问他们的钢琴值多少钱的人的电话。 |
| [01:23.528] | 答案就像一个破唱片——不值多少钱。 |
| [01:28.439] | 它变成了一个钱坑”，吉斯特说，他的建议很简单“摆脱掉它。” |
| [01:35.125] | 钢琴的修复非常复杂，因为它们有数以千计的活动零件。 |
| [01:40.385] | 细调这件乐器是复杂的：放松琴弦能花费大约10小时， |
| [01:47.084] | 仅仅给钢琴抛光就能占据70小时。 |
| [01:51.520] | 因此，这个曾经在世界各地成千上万的家庭中奏响的乐器慢慢地平稳地迎来了被抛在废物堆的结局。 |
| [02:01.597] | 但死亡的丧钟还未对钢琴响起。 |
| [02:06.647] | 还有一个钢琴大受欢迎的市场——中国。 |
| [02:11.918] | 钢琴在中国市场的销售量已达到一个高潮， |
| [02:17.363] | 每年在那会有300000架钢琴被制造。 |
| [02:21.357] | 那些像郎朗一样从孩童时期就开始演奏钢琴的著名的中国艺术家们， |
| [02:27.267] | 在许多其他对古典音乐感兴趣的年轻乐手中激起共鸣， |
| [02:32.781] | 并且家长们也追随潮流把弹钢琴看作能使他们孩子领先的一种方式。 |
| [02:39.747] | 但尽管在中国日渐欢迎， |
| [02:43.660] | 传统的木质钢琴似乎已经迎来了最后的绝唱。 |
| [02:47.921] | 因为人们正倾向选择购买电子琴， |
| [02:51.660] | 它们更便宜、安静，最重要的是容易安置不会积灰。 |
