Description

  The present invention relates to a scaled figure-integrated stringed instrument that displays a scale on the neck and fingerboard of a stringed instrument such as a guitar, and more particularly to a stringed instrument that can be improvised by using the learning of the scale and the display of the scale.

  Traditionally, when practicing scales alone, it is a common practice method to look at scale diagrams described in instructional books etc., especially when practicing while looking at books etc., the page that was open In the case of exercises that are felt every time they are closed or practice using the Internet, the scale diagram and the fingerboard must be viewed alternately, and the conventional practice method of scale is inefficient and irrational.

  For example, an electronic stringed musical instrument has been proposed in which an LED is turned on to indicate a position to be pressed. (Patent Document 1)

  In addition, a chord performance support device and an electronic stringed instrument that make it easy to specify chords in a guitar-type electronic stringed instrument and make it easy to understand the fingering display of the chord have been proposed (Patent Document 2).

  However, the neck of the guitar described in Patent Document 1 is shorter than that of a general guitar, and the number of frets of a general guitar is 21 to 24 frets, whereas that of Patent Document 1 is described. Since there are only 5 frets, normal performance is impossible.

  Further, according to Patent Document 2, it is possible to rationally and efficiently learn guitar chords, but after learning, it is necessary to move to a real guitar, which is inconvenient for the user.

  In addition, the strings used in the guitar described in Patent Document 2 are pseudostrings, and since the pseudostrings are not stretched on the fingerboard, performance techniques such as choking are not possible, including normal performance. For this reason, it is far from the purpose of the present invention.

  The present invention uses an LED provided inside the neck, and has a different purpose from the conventional case. By displaying the scale on the fingerboard, it is necessary to alternately see the scale diagram and the fingerboard during the conventional practice. By eliminating the hassle and the stress of closing open pages, the practice of scale is streamlined more than before, and inexperienced people with no knowledge of scale, beginners and intermediates are also displayed on the fingerboard It is an object of the present invention to provide a scale figure integrated stringed instrument that can be easily improvised by using the scale.

  According to the present invention, by integrating the scale diagram and the stringed instrument, the scale position can be determined and the scale displayed on the fingerboard can be determined without the need for a textbook describing the scale diagram. By using it, anyone can easily enjoy improvisation, thereby increasing the added value of the product, encouraging purchase motivation, and contributing to the expansion of sales of stringed instruments suitable for increasing the music population.

  The scale figure integrated stringed instrument of the present invention has an LED provided inside the neck of a stringed instrument such as a guitar.

  When displaying the scale on the fretboard, the entire fret position is lit so that it can be visually determined which position to press, and when the lamp is turned off, a material that does not show the structure inside the neck, such as milky white acrylic, is used. To do.

  A 0-fret is provided so that the open string can be judged visually.

  A device for setting changes such as a scale is provided in the stringed instrument body.

  According to the string instrument integrated with the scale diagram of the present invention, the scale diagram described in the instruction book etc. is displayed by using the LED provided in the neck and displaying the scale on the fingerboard, which is an object different from the performance. The efficiency is improved, and the practice time is greatly shortened compared to the past. By integrating the scale and the stringed instrument, beginners and intermediate players can easily improvise performance. As a result, the added value of the product is increased and the purchase motivation is encouraged, which contributes to sales expansion suitable for the promotion of the music population.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The scale diagram-integrated stringed musical instrument of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Milky white that can light up the entire fret position by operating a device (2) for setting or changing a scale or the like provided in a body portion (1) of a stringed instrument. The LED installed inside the neck using acrylic or the like is turned on, and the set scale is displayed on the fingerboard (3).

  For open strings, since the set scale cannot be judged with the eyes, a 0-fret (4) is provided on the left side of the 1st fret when the stringed instrument is viewed as shown in FIG.

  A stringed musical instrument with such a device (2), neck and fingerboard (3), and 0 frets (4) (see FIG. 1) is sold in stores and the like.

  When practicing scales, including normal performance, operate the device (2) and display the scales on the fingerboard (3) to learn the scales and enjoy improvisation.

  The procedure will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to this description and procedure in carrying out the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, the device (2) provided in the body (1) of the scale drawing integrated stringed musical instrument is operated to set the tuning (4), key (5), and scale (6) in FIG.

  The scale is displayed on the fingerboard when the LED provided with the set scale inside the neck is turned on. (Fig. 4)

  Fig. 5 shows the C major pentatonic scale, which can be used for scale practice and improvisation, but when the stringed instrument used is, for example, a semitone down, the scale displayed on the fingerboard is Since the display is not correct, select the semitone reduction from the tuning (6) in FIG. 3, and reset the scale position display. (Fig. 6)

  If you want to change the scale key, for example, to change from the C major pentatonic scale to the B minor pentatonic scale, select B from the key (7) in FIG. 3 and select from the scale (5). Select minor pentatonic and reset the scale position display. (Fig. 7)

  It is a front view which provided the apparatus (2) which operates the setting and change of a scale etc. used for the scale figure integrated stringed instrument of this invention, and the neck and fingerboard (3) which gave milky-white acrylic.   It is the enlarged view which provided the 0th fret on the left side of the 1st fret when the neck and fingerboard (3) of the scale figure integrated string musical instrument of the present invention are viewed as shown.   It is a screen figure at the time of setting tuning, a key, and a scale of the scale figure integrated string instrument of this invention device.   FIG. 3 is an overall view of a fingerboard in which a C major pentatonic scale is displayed on a fingerboard when an LED provided inside the neck of a scaled musical instrument integrated with a scale diagram of the present invention is lit.   It is an enlarged view of a fingerboard in which a C major pentatonic scale is displayed on the fingerboard of a scaled musical instrument integrated with a scale diagram of the present invention.   It is the enlarged view which changed the tuning setting of the scale figure integrated stringed musical instrument of this application to the semitone lowering, and displayed the C major pentatonic scale.   It is the enlarged view which changed the key setting of the scale figure integrated stringed musical instrument of this invention into B, changed the setting to the minor pentatonic, and displayed the B minor pentatonic scale.
