Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a dual-purpose musical instrument in which a guillo and a shaker are combined.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Giro and shaker (maracas) are percussion instruments used for playing Latin music. The guillo has a playing surface formed by arranging a number of concavo-convex grooves in parallel along the outer surface of the hollow main body made of a material such as wood fruit, and by repeatedly rubbing the stick along this playing surface Emits a tone. Also, the shaker is played by accommodating an appropriate amount of granules in a main body of a musical instrument, which is made by processing plant fruits into a hollow shape, and shaking the tempo while holding the handle part provided on the main body.

The above-mentioned guillotine and shaker are widely used particularly when playing Latin music, because they can be played relatively easily by rubbing them with a stick or shaking them while holding them in tune with the rhythm.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a new musical instrument that has both the functions of the widely used guillotine and shaker as described above.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the dual-purpose musical instrument of the present invention has a hollow instrument body in which a large number of particles are housed and a large number of irregularities are formed in parallel on the outer surface of the instrument body. It is composed of a flip surface rubbed with a stick.

In the above-described dual-purpose musical instrument, a large number of particles are housed inside a hollow instrument body, and when the user holds the instrument body and shakes it, the particles are placed inside the instrument body. It moves and hits the inner surface of the main body and produces a tapping sound such as "chuck, chock".

A large number of irregularities are juxtaposed on the surface of the musical instrument body to form a playing surface. By rubbing the playing surface with a stick, the stick continuously and finely collides with the above-mentioned unevenness. At the same time, the hollow instrument body resonates and produces a hammering sound. At the same time, a large number of particles contained in the musical instrument vibrate, and the above-mentioned particles generate a sound.

In the dual-purpose musical instrument, the playing surface may be formed by forming the main body of the musical instrument into the outer shape of corn and exposing a large number of corn seed grains on the outer surface thereof.

As described above, by making the musical instrument main body have the outer shape of corn, the dual-purpose musical instrument can be displayed as a figurine, and the appearance becomes interesting.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The dual-purpose musical instrument a shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 accommodates a large number of particles 4 inside a hollow instrument body 1 formed to resemble the outer shape of corn, and has irregularities on the outer surface of the instrument body 1. Is provided in parallel to form a flip surface 5.

The musical instrument body 1 is formed in a hollow shape by blow molding using a synthetic resin. The musical instrument body 1 is formed to resemble corn in size and shape. The musical instrument body 1 is formed by removing the outer skin of one half of the corn and copying the external appearance of the granular berries. Using the shape in which a large number of berries are arranged in parallel, the playing surface 5 in which fine irregularities are arranged in parallel Is configured as. Further, the musical instrument body 1 has a texture close to that of a real corn by coating the outer skin portion with a yellowish green color and the actual skin portion with a yellow color.

The base end shaft core of the musical instrument body 1 is made to have a slightly smaller diameter so as to extend, and an opening 2b is opened at the tip end thereof, and a screw portion 2a screwed on the outer peripheral portion of the opening 2b is formed. The opening 2b is opened and closed by screwing the cap 3 into it. Also, the extension of the base end of the musical instrument body 1 and the cap 3 are configured as a handle 2 for holding the musical instrument body 1, so that the user holds the handle 2 and swings the musical instrument body 1 up and down. (Fig. 1). It should be noted that the musical instrument body 1 may be shaken by holding the base end side directly with the hand without the handle 2 as described above.

Fine particles 4 are housed in the musical instrument body 1. The granules 4 are configured to accommodate an appropriate amount of iron balls having a diameter of about 1 mm, for example, about 50 grams, and move freely inside the main body 1. Therefore, when the musical instrument body 1 is swung up and down, the particles 4 move within the musical instrument body 1 and collide with the inner surface of the musical instrument body 1 to make a clicking sound. The above-mentioned granules 4 are not limited to iron balls, and granules of any material may be used as long as they can be moved within the musical instrument body 1 and have a good timbre.

In the dual-purpose musical instrument a configured as described above, when the instrument body 1 is shaken up and down by the template with the handle 2, the particles 4 in the instrument body 1 move and collide with the inner surface of the body 1. Then, there is a nice tapping sound called "Zu, Zu". That is, it is a performance as a shaker.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, while holding the handle 2 with one hand and holding the dual-purpose instrument a substantially horizontally, the stick b held by the other hand is used to play the instrument body 1. By rubbing the surface 5 back and forth in the lengthwise direction, the stick b finely collides with the unevenness of the playing surface 5, and the instrument body 1 continuously emits a tone color such as "guy". This is the performance as Guilo.

In addition, the above-mentioned dual-purpose musical instrument a is rubbed on the playing surface 5 with the stick b to perform as a guilloch, while the musical instrument body 1 is appropriately shaken, so that the guilloon tone "Gee-" It is possible to perform while simultaneously producing the moving sounds of the body 4 that move.

Since the dual-purpose instrument a described above is a copy of the outer shape of corn, when not used, it is advisable to display it as a corn ornament in one corner of the table or the like. Also, when playing, it looks as if you were shaking real corn and rubbing it, so it looks unique and fun to play.

The dual-purpose musical instrument of the present invention does not limit the outer shape of the musical instrument body to the shape of corn like the dual-purpose musical instrument a described above, but contains the particles inside the hollow instrument main body. In addition, the outer shape of the musical instrument body may be any shape as long as the playing surface is formed by arranging a large number of irregularities on the outer surface of the musical instrument body.

[0019]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a large number of particles are housed inside a hollow instrument body, and a large number of concavities and convexities are formed in parallel on the outer surface of the instrument body so that it can be rubbed with a stick. Since it has the functions of a guillo and a shaker, it can be used as a guillo or as a shaker, and the tone of both instruments can be freely selected according to the performance. You can play while playing. Also, by simultaneously rubbing the playing surface with a stick and shaking the instrument body appropriately, the rubbing sound of the playing surface and the moving sound of the particles are synthesized, and it is possible to produce a unique tone that is not available in conventional instruments. it can.

According to the dual-use musical instrument of claim 2, in which the instrument main body has an outer shape of corn and a large number of corn seed grains are exposed on the outer surface of the instrument to form a playing surface, the dual-use instrument itself is corn. You can decorate it as a figurine and place it in the room, and at the same time, you can bring out the fun and humor of looking like you are playing while rubbing corn.
