Technical field
Stringed musical instrument
Background technology
Stringed musical instrument is an important branch in musical instrument family, and in classical music and even modern light music, nearly all lyric melody is all played by string music part.The tone color of stringed musical instrument is unified, and have multi-level expressive force, surge impassioned during (instrumental) ensemble, during solo, tenderness is graceful and restrained; Because of the changeable bowing of horn of plenty and fingering, there is agile color again.
Stringed musical instrument, from its articulation type, can be divided into following three kinds: 1. hammered string instrument, also known as making stringed musical instrument, utilizes mallet to impact string and sounding, such as piano, clavichord, dulcimer etc.; 2. plucked string instrument, also known as plucked instrument, through bullet, manipulates the strings and sounding, such as harp, guitar, electric guitar, bass, Lyre, harpsichord, Zheng, Chinese lute etc.; 3. bowed stringed instrument, also known as wiping stringed musical instrument, utilizes bow friction string and sounding, such as violin, viola, violoncello, contrabass, urheen etc.
The articulation type of stringed musical instrument relies on mechanical forces that the string vibrations of tensioning is pronounced, therefore pronunciation volume is subject to a definite limitation, thus usually needs to install resonant tank additional in string side to increase volume and to improve tonequality.Stringed musical instrument plays different sounds with different strings usually, and finger sometimes then must be used to stop to change chord length, thus reaches the object changing pitch.
Therefore, the performance of usual stringed musical instrument all needs both hands to coordinate, and plays difficulty larger.Particularly for bowed stringed instrument and guitar kind musical instrument, a palpus manual string (such as pressing the chord of guitar), another hand is manipulated the strings or is pulled the bow.For beginner and the personage that there is physical handicaps, this almost can not complete.Principle of sound and the tone color glamour of stringed musical instrument are apparent, but its too large performance difficulty, hinder the pursuit of people to its beautiful sound.
In addition, although numerous stringed musical instruments has same or analogous principle of sound, lyre structure, their different sound characteristicses attract people to pursue different musical instruments and playing method, and this is a kind of uneconomical unscientific situation inherently.History and sage of the past's accumulation have passed on the stringed musical instrument of sounding grace like this, but, propose very high requirement also to players.Therefore many string music fans are kept outside of the door.
A lot of stringed musical instrument is changed all bit by bit after being born, these are changed and comprise adjustment body size, string quantity etc., but all without breakthrough progress, various stringed musical instrument no matter structure, manufacture, playing method still could not form unification, still very high to the requirement of player.
