TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bee for shamisen and a grip aid used therefor, and more particularly, to a bee useful for a beginner to learn a stable bee (repellent) grip in practice of a shamisen and a grip attached to the bee. Regarding assistive devices.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For beginners of the shamisen, it is very difficult to learn how to grasp a bee, that is, the shape of a grip. At first, it is often learned that the shape of the grip is lost while playing even if it is gripped correctly as taught. In that case, if the shamisen lesson is one-on-one (face-to-face), the instructor can immediately take care of reshaping it into the correct grip.
However, in the case of group lessons, the instructor's eyes may not be able to reach everyone, which can lead to learning in the wrong way, which can harden in the first few months. Therefore, it is difficult to correct the grip.
[0003]
Originally, it is important for the shape of the player's grip to keep the little finger placed on the bee grip (handle) so that it does not shift. For beginners, since the position of the little finger is not particularly determined, the little finger is There is a problem that it is easy to come off, and the grip of the bee becomes unstable, making it difficult to play.
In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, a bee (see Patent Document 1) in which a rubber band forming a ring large enough to fit a little finger is attached to a bee grip portion, or a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners is connected with a string. There is known a bee to which a holder is attached by folding the string to form a ring into which a little finger can enter (see Patent Document 2).
Heretofore, there has not been known a bee that indicates a position up to a position at which a thumb of a player touches a bee body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned conventional bees, it was not enough to stabilize the shape of the grip.
That is, in each of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the little finger is fixed by putting it in a rubber ring or a string ring. As is clear from FIG. 3, the little finger is placed on the upper surface of the bee grip portion. The finger is displaced in the front-back direction and the shape of the grip is distorted when the grip force of the player weakens, because the movement of the ring is not restricted in the front-back direction There were inconveniences such as the inability to learn the grip.
[0006]
In view of such circumstances, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to provide a bee for a shamisen that a beginner can easily and naturally acquire a stable grip shape when grasping a bee by training a shamisen. Aim.
The present invention also provides an accessory to be attached to the bee, that is, a grip assisting device.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Such a shamisen bee of the present invention is provided with a grip aid having elasticity and an uneven surface, which is attached to a predetermined position extending from the upper surface to the inner surface of the bee grip portion, whereby the assist device is attached to a ring finger of a player. It is characterized in that it can take the form of a grip in which the small finger is naturally in contact with the inner surface of the grip portion sandwiched between the small finger.
As a result, the puller can firmly hold the grip portion with the little finger that contacts along the inner surface of the grip portion and the ring finger, middle finger, and index finger that are pressed from the outer surface, and in particular, the lateral shift of the little finger In addition, since the assisting tool is sandwiched between the ring finger and the little finger, the movement of both fingers in the front-rear direction is restricted, so that a stable grip having no shift in the player's front-rear direction is obtained.
Note that this grip assisting tool is not necessary at the stage when the above-mentioned stable grip has been obtained, and thus it is preferable to attach it detachably.
[0008]
Further, the bee for shamisen of the present invention is characterized in that an index indicating a thumb contact position is provided on the upper surface of the bee body.
Thus, by using the index as a mark and placing the fingertip of the thumb thereon, a correct grip shape can be obtained as a whole.
Note that this index is also unnecessary when the shape of the grip is fixed, so it is preferable that the index is detachably attached.
[0009]
Further, the grip assisting device of the present invention is used to be attached to the shamisen bee, and has a main portion having a flat back surface with convex portions before and after the concave portion, and one side of the front convex portion facing downward. It is an elastic body formed integrally with the side edge portion extended to the elastic member.
This grip assisting tool has its main body attached to a predetermined position on the upper surface of a bee grip part with an adhesive material, attached to the grip part with the side edge positioned on the inner side surface, and the ring finger and little finger of the player are placed in the concave part of the main body. By pressing the little finger against the rear surface of the side edge, a stable grip of the player can be formed as described above. The grip assisting device may be provided with an adhesive material not only on the main portion but also on a side edge portion, and the side edge portion may be attached to the inner surface of the grip portion, thereby making the assisting device more firm. It can be attached.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a shamisen bee A according to an embodiment of the present invention. The bee A is a general one by itself, and is configured by attaching the grip assisting tool 10 to the bee grip portion 1 and attaching the index 20 to the bee main body 2.
[0011]
The shape of the grip assisting tool 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The grip assisting tool 10 includes a main body 11 and a side edge 12. It has a side convex portion 11b and a smooth valley-shaped concave portion 11c interposed between the two convex portions, and the rear surface 11d is formed as a flat surface.
The front-side convex portion 11a smoothly descends rearward from a substantially central portion thereof, and the rear-side convex portion 11b has a protruding shape, and a ridge line smoothly descending forward from the substantially central portion thereof has a ridge line of the front-side convex portion 11a. A concave portion 11c is formed so as to be connected to the downward ridge line.
The concave portion 11c is a portion where the crotch b between the ring finger (d) and the little finger (e) of the puller B, more specifically, between the bases of both fingers, is stuck. Preferably, the cross section has a smooth, convexly curved shape so that it can be inserted.
[0012]
The side edge portion 12 has a shape in which one side of the front-side convex portion 11a has a convex shape extending downward, and the back surface 12a is formed as a flat surface.
The side edge portion 12 is a portion which presses the little finger (e) of the player B, more specifically, a portion from the base of the little finger (e) to the second joint, so that the fingering of the little finger (e) can be performed stably. Preferably, it extends vertically from the main body 11.
[0013]
The main body portion 11 and the side edge portion 12 are each provided with an adhesive material (not shown) such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape on the flat back surfaces 11d and 12a, and the adhesive material is used for the grip portion 1 of the bee A. Then, the grip assisting device 10 is attached to the bee A.
In addition, the adhesive material may be formed in advance at the stage of manufacturing the grip assisting tool 10 or may be provided immediately before attaching the grip assisting tool 10 to the bee A. In the case where the adhesive is formed in advance, A release paper is attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive material so that the grip assisting device 10 can be conveniently stored and handled before use.
The adhesive material is preferably provided on the back surfaces 11d and 12a of the main body portion 11 and the side edge portion 12 for firm attachment, but may be provided only on the back surface 11d of the main body portion 11.
[0014]
The grip assisting tool 10 is an elastic body in which a main body 11 and a side edge 12 are integrally formed. This elastic body may be made to have elasticity by molding an elastic material such as rubber, sponge or foam material, or may be made to have elasticity by molding such as molding a plastic material into a hollow shape. The illustrated grip assisting tool 10 illustrates a case where it is integrally molded from rubber.
The elasticity of the grip assisting device 10 softens the finger touch of the player B.
[0015]
With the grip assisting tool 10, the main body 11 is placed at a predetermined position on the upper surface 1 a of the bee grip portion 1 with the back surface 12 a of the side edge portion 12 in contact with the inner side surface 1 b of the bee grip portion 1. By being attached to each surface by the, the bee grip portion 1 is attached to a predetermined position.
[0016]
The indicator 20 is a sticker on which an arbitrary mark is written or a plain colored sticker, which is attached to a position where the thumb of the thumb (A) of the bee main body 2 is to be applied to be a mark of the position.
Note that the indicator 20 may be a mark or the like directly written at a predetermined position on the bee body 2 instead of the seal.
[0017]
Next, a method of gripping the bee A (grip shape) will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the bee A is held by the hand (left hand) opposite to the player B, the ring finger (d) and the little finger (e) of the player B are opened, and the crotch b of both fingers is inserted into the concave portion 11c of the grip assisting device 10. At the same time, the little finger (e) naturally follows the inner side surface 1b of the bee grip portion 1, and in this state, the ring finger (d), the middle finger (c), and the index finger (b) extend from the outer surface of the grip portion 1 to the bottom surface. Squeeze.
Next, the fingertip of the thumb (a) is pressed against the index 20 of the bee body 2 as a mark.
[0018]
According to the shape of the grip, the side of the little finger (e) of the player B touches the side edge 12 of the grip assisting tool 10, and the crotch b between the ring finger (d) and the little finger (e) is concave. The small finger (e) naturally fits on the inner side surface 1b of the bee grip portion 1 and the small finger (e) is laterally shifted by the inner side surface 1b. Is also regulated and has a stable grip form.
Note that the little finger (e) of the player B may be in a state where the portion beyond the second joint is naturally bent along the inner surface 1b of the grip portion 1.
[0019]
Therefore, when the grip A is gripped with the grip assisting tool 10 as a guide, a naturally stable grip shape can be maintained.
Then, when the shape of the stable grip is fixed, the grip assisting tool 10 becomes unnecessary, but in this case, the grip assisting tool 10 stuck with the adhesive is removed, and the index 20 is similarly peeled off to remove the ordinary grip assisting tool. Can be used as bee A.
[0020]
Note that, in the grip assisting tool 10, it is important that the unevenness of the surface of the main body 11 is such that the crotch b of the ring finger (d) and the little finger (e) are fitted to each other to regulate the displacement in the front-rear direction. The shapes and sizes of the convex portions 11a and 11b and the concave portions 11c are not limited to the above-described embodiment.
Similarly, the shape of the side edge portion 12 is not limited to the embodiment as long as the side surface of the little finger (e) is pressed.
It is also possible to prepare a plurality of shapes and sizes different from each other so that the size of the player B can be adjusted.
[0021]
