Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of application of amorphous alloy materials, in particular to application of amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy in stringed instruments.
Background
Stringed musical instruments (strings) sound in a manner that relies on mechanical force to vibrate tensioned strings, so that the sound volume is limited. String instruments usually use different strings to play different tones, sometimes need to use fingers to press strings to change the string length, thus achieving the purpose of changing the pitch. Stringed musical instruments include pianos, guitars, zithers, lutes, violins, cellos, violoncellos, and the like.
At present people all concentrate on the string to the acoustic properties research of stringed instrument, and the general opinion string is sound producing component, adopts the better material of tone quality to more effectively improve the acoustic properties of musical instrument, but has neglected the stringed instrument and still all be equipped with string bridge, string nail and string knot, and the correct use of materials such as string bridge, string nail and string knot also can improve the acoustic properties of musical instrument. The string bridge is used for installing and adjusting the tension of the string (the tension affects the pitch and also affects the difficulty in breaking). The string nails are used for fixing strings, the existing string nails are mostly made of plastic materials, but for the existing plastic string nails, when the string nails are pulled out of a string bridge in the string replacing process, the string nails are easy to break, so that part of the string nails are clamped on the string bridge and cannot be taken out; meanwhile, when the string nails are pulled out of the string bridge, the string nails are easy to damage. The string button penetrates through the bridge wood hole to tie the string on the device, so that the string tying is simplified, the string button can be used for finely adjusting the tension of the string, and the effect of optimizing sound is achieved. The general string button adopts plastic products, can explode when tying up the string, and the tone quality definition is often unstable. Therefore, what kind of material is used to prepare the string bridge, the string nail and the string button is an urgent technical problem to be solved.

The inventor finds that the amorphous alloy has crisp tone quality, stable pitch and good anti-relaxation performance, and can improve the acoustic performance of the stringed instrument when being applied to the stringed instrument. And the high-entropy alloy has crisp tone quality and stable pitch, is used for stringed instruments, and can effectively improve the acoustic performance of the stringed instruments. It will be appreciated that in one embodiment, there is provided the use of an amorphous alloy in a stringed instrument. In another embodiment, an amorphous alloy and a high entropy alloy are provided for use in stringed musical instruments. In some embodiments, there is provided a use of a high entropy alloy in a stringed instrument.
Preferably, the stringed instrument may be, but is not limited to, a plucked instrument and a pulled instrument. In one embodiment, the amorphous alloy is used in a plucked string instrument. The stringed musical instrument may be, but is not limited to, a guitar, a zither, a lute, and a piano, among others. The string bridge, the string nail and the string button of the stringed instrument are made of amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy. Further, the amorphous alloy and/or the high-entropy alloy are used for a bridge of a stringed instrument. If adopt nickel base amorphous alloy preparation with the bridge of guitar for its tension of adjusting the string, mechanical strength is big, is difficult to the fracture, and corrosion-resistant, and more importantly has fine anti lax performance, avoids debugging the string many times, can also make string tone quality clear and crisp, pitch stable. And the high-entropy alloy can be adopted to prepare the string bridge of the guitar, so that the tone quality of the string is crisp and the pitch is stable. The high-entropy alloy is an as-cast high-entropy alloy, a monocrystalline high-entropy alloy or a fiber sheet high-entropy alloy. The inventor finds that the string bridge of the guitar made of the single-crystal high-entropy alloy is beneficial to crisp and clear tone quality of strings. Further, amorphous alloys and/or high entropy alloys are used for pegs of stringed instruments. If adopt titanium base amorphous alloy preparation with the peg of zither for fixed and adjustment string, stand wear and tear, corrosion-resistant, more importantly has fine anti lax performance, avoids debugging the string many times, can also make string tone quality clear and crisp, pitch stable. The high-entropy alloy can be adopted to prepare the peg of the Chinese zither, so that the tone quality of the string is crisp and the pitch is stable. Further, the amorphous alloy and/or the high-entropy alloy is used for a button of a stringed instrument. If the string button of lute adopts tin base amorphous alloy preparation for fixed and adjustment string, stand wear and tear, corrosion-resistant, more importantly has fine anti lax performance, avoids debugging the string many times, can also make string tone quality clear and crisp, pitch stable. The string button of the lute can be prepared by adopting high-entropy alloy, so that the tone quality of the string is crisp and the pitch is stable. It should be noted that at least one of the bridge, the peg and the button in the plucked string instrument is made of amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy, and preferably, the bridge, the peg and the button in the plucked string instrument are all made of amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy, so as to greatly improve the acoustic performance of the plucked string instrument.

Therefore, the string bridge is preferably made of titanium-based amorphous alloy. Further, the amorphous alloy and/or the high-entropy alloy is used for a peg of a stringed instrument. If the string nail of violin adopts aluminium base amorphous alloy preparation for fixed and adjustment string, stand wear and tear, corrosion-resistant, more importantly has fine anti laxity performance, avoids debugging the string many times, can also make string tone quality clear and crisp, pitch stable. Further, the amorphous alloy and/or the high-entropy alloy is used for the string clasp of the stringed musical instrument. If the string button of the violin is made of iron-based amorphous alloy, the string button is used for fixing and adjusting strings, is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and more importantly, has good anti-relaxation performance, avoids debugging the strings for many times, and can also ensure that the tone quality of the strings is crisp and the pitches are stable. It should be noted that at least one of the bridge, the peg and the button in the stringed instrument is made of amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy, and preferably, the bridge, the peg and the button in the stringed instrument are all made of amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy, so as to greatly improve the acoustic performance of the plucked instrument.
In still other embodiments, the amorphous alloy and/or the high entropy alloy is used for tailpieces or faceplates of stringed musical instruments. The pulling string plate or the panel of the musical instruments such as violins, koto, guitars, erhu and the like is formed by adopting amorphous alloy and/or high-entropy alloy, so that the anti-loosening performance of the pulling string plate or the panel is improved, and the acoustic performance of the stringed instrument is improved.
