My name is sergey gorchukov, i am the founder of a folk manufactory. Mercury we are engaged in the production of russian gusli for 10 years of our work, we have manufactured more than 10,000 instruments and sold them around the world in almost all major countries. There are our thoughts. Well, that is, after that they began to interest many people of completely different skin colors of different languages and different religions, and so on. Glacier, who had already played the harp before. I, i think one of the first tools in 2010 showed one of these memes. He played how many sound normal, what do you keep doing . I blessed me a little for this, as if i understood, i went to do it. And so i made the first, in my opinion, five instruments that i brought to the festival together. We stretched the runes there, and one of the merchants approached me, saw that i was crowded and said that i want to leave my hometown, st. Petersburg with some kind of memorable, but a souvenir or attribute, yes, which will be associated with this festival. What is the price harp . On the go, i came up with a price that they would cost 2,000 rubles. It costs 2. 000 rubles. No problem. Yes 2. 000 rub. Takes the tool, and this was the first sale and the beginning of a large project. At that time there was a problem that the master made very few tools and people were waiting for some weather to get thick there were never tools in the presence of masters there were quite a lot and they are the first to go through this, but i am the first who started to come up with a quick Manufacturing Technology and make accessible folk instrument. I traveled to carpentry workshops was not the same carpentry experience. I didnt study , someone there prompted me to ask around, somewhere there she prompted, something came up on his own. There was no internet yet. Now there are a lot of videos showing how to do it. I started thinking about quick make patterns. It was the moment of what harp. Eh, the first samples were sounding, and then the instrument was gone for half a year. It sounds like there is a sound from it, but there is no depth there. There are no ubernatons and musicians of this timbre. In such a tool does not want to play. In fact, we make the harp from a roughly solid board and choose the body. Well, troughs, in general, you can make a frame, this is how academic, for example, after the frame is made, the frame is based on, of course, this upper deck lies here. It just affects the sound most of all, well, directly the depth of the case. Well, the bottom. Everything is fine. Come on guys, just something so friends. Today we congratulate the most cheerful employee of monopolstroy. This is kolya , together with him we went through the entire experience of the narrow buildings. It means that he made more than all the tools of the manufactory, and which needed to be remade, they broke for us and put them back and rework at their own expense. I wont pay him anything. In fact, thanks to this, we generally gained very valuable experience and learned how to do the harp correctly. I came by chance, because there was not much work in the village in winter. And i had construction classes. That is, well, a friend asked, he says, come here, there, the guys are engaged in Musical Instruments tries, but you are a carpenter. So take a look, you might be interested. Here. Well, anyway, i came. In the beginning, of course i didnt believe in the whole idea. What it is . What is possible here in the village . Bring it to life here. In general , i saw the instrument for the first time in my life. We are the first six months. Even more almost a year. I do not hide it, of course, it was an unpleasant moment, but i worked for a return. That is, the tool came back, that is, it was bent by the tool. Uh, deca upper it just cracked and vomited. That there is, well, that is, well, the disrepair of the instrument was coming. Here we tried it in different ways. All. Well , it turned out, so i just came up with the method with my own hands. You as roughly speaking, here and as soon as here it all has gone. And there was so much joy, like a child, because the instrument. I stopped breaking at least breaking, then i started thinking about sound. He now has no stubbornness, such as he was then at that time. Well, this is baranism, it helped to achieve. Still, what you want is not always, as they say. There is a saying that is bad a young horse by the fact that he is on the wrong road further than you will start well, of course, periodically. It also happened to me that i was going somewhere the wrong way and life. Somehow it stopped me. I had such a moment when we lost the workshop when it burned down. I woke up at 3 00 at night, my father woke me up that the workshop was on fire. I see that the workshop is so bad at my house, i go out , i understand that we cant go in. We start standing nearby, the warehouse is starting to save it. All tools for hours. Arrived there at 5 00 the fireman had already waited for it to burn out, she was clogged with water from the lamaster and all several dozens of tools from all technological developments, all templates. What is left of the workshop on the stove alive . So all that moment i feel twofold felt. At first i thought it was time. Well , everything, as it were, to leave and look for some new path. Here, maybe throw a harp, and the other side. I had a responsibility to those people who aa were left without work in one day. I think what to do next. You, when my sisters offered me make crawling, i reacted like that, i really disagree, i say. Damn, something to appeal to people. Somehow you dont have to think about it. How what to do. In general, they insisted on it, they just released it. And when i felt the Popular Support of 500,000 rubles. I realized that we all in the world woke up at night with the feeling that the workshop would burn down and not so long ago only from this. Until 2018 before the fire. I had the feeling that i was trying to impose something on the outside world to cut these harps, which, as it were, were not needed by anyone. Here that im trying to promote them, there are guys to buy and harp. Here it was felt. Im not very good. Why because i didnt feel this peoples return that they asked me to do this. And at that moment i reconsidered this situation, when i saw that it was possible for people, and i was just like a servant of the people, as a performer, the names on the wall were written by those people who especially helped us restore the manufactory. There are also some wellknown politicians. Such as andrey merzlikin. Well, everyone is important to the person himself, the one who 30 rubles. Translated by the one who 100. 000 rub. Digested everyone gave birth experienced called, and from different parts of the world. Even for example, it supports fairy tales. I had very good feelings of feeling when we built the manufactory, despite the fact that it was very difficult and difficult physically and emotionally, because there were frosts of 30. We poured this foundation. Well, well, no one left the guys of the master, they all made me together, they created and continued to make instruments. We set up and made the psaltery in the trailer and continued to sell them. In general , we, in principle, succeeded. Pasha say hello to the First Intercontinental Congress on psychotherapy children of the planet psychotherapy society. I am sergey gorchkov, the founder of the folk manufactory, mercury, i am Anastasia Ermolaeva , a professional harp performer. I wont play for long, youll like it. I am longterm. We met, just with sergey, we phoned him on skype and he offered me such an idea that he needs a person, preferably a girl, who will broadcast. Uh, through your image of the harp and goose music. So he offered me participate in this project. I agreed that you know how it was, like a lifeline, because then i already thought, i would probably throw the harp. Well, there is no progress. Well, im learning. And whats next and no prospects. I did not see. Uh, well, at that moment sergey appeared and said, lets work. Write music together, doing any projects. Ill take everything. So i realized that how can i quit what i love since childhood and successfully stayed here to promote. My First Business was me bangs bought. I sat with them guarding all summer. And so i had to at the time of swarming until july 15, everyone was at sea. We swam on the lake, rode a motorcycle. I sat with these bees. The first bees knocked me down about 40 pieces. It was so hard, but closer to autumn. I received my reward. I pumped up honey on my street, said some woman came to sell, she said, i need to buy cheaper. In general, the first will understand his own. I sold very cheaply a little to me she deceived the harp was a little by accident and just on some young impulse to do something with your hands. And i wanted to try to make an instrument. For this, i had no experience not in the musical plan, which i did. I decided to destroy it after a few years. At the stake, so that it does not go down in history that i once made it. There was a selftapping screw. Instead of tuning pegs, stretched guitar strings, of course, did not sound like it should. Today we saw the state exam for students at the mussorgsky college, folk choir, in my opinion, department. There are a lot of guys there who are also taught by my harp teacher. I am probably the most not talented student of all that he has ever had the textures of sergei gorchakov, they improved throughout their lives. And if the first instrument was primitive sounding was rather dubious, now these instruments have become necessary for simple musicmaking on a hike or somewhere in the train. I go playing already at the concert level students of academic senior courses use the instruments already in their educational practice and practice, in addition that he makes an instrument. He also conducts such social work constantly master classes at all festivals. Its all about communication. E to the instrument a story about him learning to play on it and if 30 years ago , while conducting master classes on Musical Instruments, i explained who sadko is and what kind of instrument he played, now e gusli is called immediately after the harmonica balalaika, that is, they became as popular an instrument as the balalaikas and harmonicas. You understand, this is a village, this is a village in which the villagers really . I myself live in the countryside. I understand that in the countryside a peasant has two ways of life. One way is to go to the power structures of the national guard, or guard somewhere, or the second way is to drink too much. Thats it, there are no other options, and here the guys can earn. The guys work, the guys get new specialties. Well, what are you tired of . She is a village, what is good, that they always Say Something in the village . Well, in general , at first it was all somehow ridiculed. And well, it wasnt perceived, because its strange somehow some kind of thick guys, well, the time when jobs began to appear here, when there were such masters who are seen on tv, which are there on various programs, who are invited, who are filmed by cameras, who earn good money. Well, of course, they have become very respectful in our country, and the rural mentality and the urban mentality are very different, meaning in work. And the fact is that here they were taught to work from childhood. And theyre just a little bit in a good way in a good way. Without city people there may be problems with alcohol, but i will tell you how the rule is that people are super workers super powerful and this needs to be solved with a system of a system of fines and rewards. You just dont come out. You get a fine. We have a very serious fine, because i was passing my time, a very difficult time when you will not force anyone to work. And this is all, in principle, is solved. Here we have now. Well, there is no problem at all, that someone did not show up for work, someone was late. I mean, its very rare. Didnt he make a rgus in the village, pushkino well, not that the second life, probably, life would not have ended here, but somehow we still dressed up the village and here and people went and people come here now to live. The employees here took the plots of land from me. Many of them rent apartments here, and i have people who even from tajikistan moved here from moscow and from samara and other cities. That is, here, who came here to the world of the psaltery and work to work became part of the team. We take the program in the phone and upload it using the phone. Now it is very already how technology is jumping forward. To like if we dont hear it on our own already according to the application, we finetune it, each one, if on the guitar we clamp the string and on it, due to the fact that we press it, we change its length, and its sound changes, then on the harp and similar instruments. One string is one note. And here is the same splitting body. And this is a fretless stringed plucked harp instrument this is an instrument that has relatives throughout eurasia, that is, in china it is a guqin, which, in my opinion, the first mention of 3,000 years bc has already discounted from them found in iran turkey azerbaijan is eve or konu. Well, how they pronounce it in europe. This is a psaltery. That is, uh, almost all the countries of eurasia, because of this antiquity, its like a wheel that we once invented, yes, and it spread from here, quietly reached a new level in our country. Foreign sales foreign sales prompted us to to make tools related to thick kika cantola ufins yes kokli kunkless, lithuanians, latvia latvians, that is , medieval european instruments of the peoples of the Baltic States there are harps, it looks like forms and underpants. Here are some tools bought 100 pieces a month, some buy one a year, recently they sold the authors tools for 240,000 rubles. On the left is the only manufactory with so many masters of production, because the rest are probably several times less produced. Well, i think five times, maybe 10 times less, these are the numbers. Our most popular ninestring wingshaped harps are ordinary, and, that is, this is one of the most popular models. Because that they are a very combination of price and quality and reliability, they allow nine strings to play all the songs that are sung along with the guitar. We have such a Living Community around the harp world around the harp. We have been in contact with him for 10 years already and we see that it includes not only lovers of tradition, of course, mostly. These are those who are interested in our old tradition, but more and more people are now there who have nothing to do with tradition. It can be yogi businessmen. Those who are interested in esoteric knowledge are those who he just works in the office looking for, uh, some kind of antistress, and we cant clearly say that the psaltery is just for lovers of tradition, they are allencompassing universal instruments. And today they are interested in a variety of people. If dan, in my example, shows how it became marketing, even a kind of move, to see how the harp sounds in the hands, not a musician who is inept to play the gusak without education. Its very, very hard for me. That is, this is what i am not capable of is not. Well, no deposit simply and directly, bit by bit bit by bit you try to hear something there. I basically, well, have progressed very well since when the first Musical Instrument took the amateur level now i play, but im not a musician at all, that is, from the word at all. And why do we need to use the grass girls need to do all sorts of things out of grass. Well maybe part of this year were having a holiday. Kupala there more than 500 people will gather more than this land, which we bought specifically for this holiday. Is there a river there or also now my team is already preparing the territory in early may in order to hold a holiday, to meet all the guests, to organize good ones, so that there are showers and toilets. And the most important thing is the program. This is the most shameless thing that we will not lose, but live this bonfire to heaven, which we will make participants in the holiday and this will not be the format of the festival, but this is precisely the holiday where everyone is a participant, not a spectator. And on the one hand, we unite people through the harp, that is, this is a tool that many have peoples of the world and similar related instruments. And the harp is a tool that a person. Well, lets say it returns this technocratic world to something real, it hears the sounds that sounded a thousand years ago. Traditional culture and we will say it, well, we promote it, we affirm it, so that it is clear, usually by an average person. Silent me with me, so you understand the legs of the century, live resounded. We would have had other opportunities , other resources, we would have brought all this to russia at a different level, what is it it would be, really not under the protection of unesco, it would become a very important Cultural Heritage for russia, so thick ones should become a symbol, at least the tver region in general, a symbol of russia for 10 years, i think that a large one should be built here, and a goose tourist space. The courtyard will be such a space for meeting the traditions of modernity, and i see that here, firstly, it will become one of the most unusual places in russia , unique places. Yes, and there will also be a Production Facility where the harp is made for the whole the world is here and there will be a museum and there will be a tavern and there will be the largest psaltery in the world and there will be an opportunity to relax, and guests, and in the houses to find out what a real russian bath is there, for example, yes, just under the traditional one. So there will be an opportunity there, i dont know, a massage of some such russian spa, therefore, well , here is what we did, what we conceived. Here, it will be a truly unique project. And most importantly, he will leave a huge mark, huh . For our descendants, they will also begin to respect russian culture, because they will find out what it is the real one, not the one were used to seeing on tv. This is probably the main task of the harp world team to connect all the people who care about russia for culture, so that they get to know the real tradition at the beginning, respect to study and want to stay in it. Heavy direction yes, no, in that battle we suffered very heavy losses, not counting how many of them we were for 300,000, we then sat on the behu, well , the chase was for us, there was ice, a tower, turned right, and i was thrown out. I dont know what i would have done in that situation, honestly took it on showed, take it away go. So what to do . The russian army repelled 15 attacks on the entire zelensky formation, more than 800 officers and mercenaries lost more than 800 soldiers, in addition, two tanks and 15 other vehicles, as well as 10 selfpropelled guns and a howitzer, including American British and polish production, as well as shot down two ukrainian
