Abstract

An innovative music instrument ( 101 ) comprises at least one tunable string ( 102 ), a holding device ( 106 ) for holding the at least one string ( 102 ), an electrically or electronically operated exciting device ( 116,116 ') for contactlessly exciting of the at least one string ( 102 ), a sounding body ( 108 ) for acoustically radiating oscillations of the string and an interface ( 113 ) for supplying a signal to the exciting device ( 116, 116 '), wherein the signal is produced independently from the at least one string ( 102 ). The exciting device ( 116, 116 ') enables exciting oscillations of the string of a sufficiently large amplitude so that the sounding body ( 108 ) can radiate tones of a loudness which is at least in the range of known acoustical string instruments. For transferring the string's oscillations to the sounding body ( 108 ), a bridge ( 112 ) is arranged between the sounding body ( 108 ) and the at least one string ( 102 ) . The electro-acoustical music instrument ( 101 ) has the quality of resonance capability and of discrete overtones, and enables a synthesis of an acoustical sounding beauty with electronic flexibility.
