Abstract

A player apparatus which can reproduce as vivid sounds as if those from a live musical performance. A driving coil (11) converts a speech current into a mechanical vibration. Then, the me chanical vibration is propagated from a rod (21) to a bridge (45) of a violin (42). Thus, a body (49) of the violin (42) vibrates to generate sounds therefrom. Thus reproduced sounds are extremely close to the original ones, thereby providing higer-fidelity appar atus than any conventional high-grade speakers.
