Description

  The present invention relates to a retrofit instrument for a stringed instrument having a sound hole, and more particularly, to a retrofit instrument for a stringed instrument having a soundhole that generates sound by vibration.

  Conventionally, a simple desorption torque boss has been proposed in which a reverberation board is detachably inserted into a sound hole of a guitar and the timbre is changed in two or more ways (see Patent Document 1). However, this idea only changed the tone of the strings, and it was not possible to make a completely different sound.

JP 2010-44339 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a retrofit instrument for a stringed instrument having a sound hole that allows a sound different from that of a string to sound.

In the present invention, a support member that is detachably attached to the guitar so that the distal end side is inserted into the sound hole of the stringed musical instrument and the proximal end side is exposed to the outside of the sound hole, and attached to the distal end portion of the support member for excitation. A body instrument that emits sound, and a fastener that is attached to an intermediate portion between the attachment position and the base end of the body instrument among the support members and removably fixes the support member to the edge of the sound hole of the string instrument It is characterized by having.
Cymbals, bells, castanets, etc. can be used as the somatic instruments.

  According to the present invention, the support member is attached to the edge of the sound hole of the stringed instrument with a fastener, and the body instrument is sounded inside the stringed instrument by hitting the base end side of the support member or applying vibration. A large reverberation sound can be generated, and various musical expressions can be made together with the reverberation sound of the strings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view of a guitar retrofit instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention (Example 1). FIG. 2 is a side view in which a part of the guitar retrofit instrument of FIG. 1 is omitted. It is the perspective view which abbreviate | omitted partially which shows the use condition of the guitar retrofit instrument of FIG.

  Hereinafter, the best mode of the present invention will be described based on examples.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a guitar retrofit instrument according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view of a guitar retrofit instrument, and FIG. 3 is a partially omitted perspective view showing a use state of the guitar retrofit instrument. .
In these drawings, reference numeral 1 is a guitar retrofitting instrument, 2 is a plastic elongated plate-like support member, the tip 2A is inserted into the sound hole 51 of the guitar 50, and the base end 2B is outside the sound hole 51. It can be detachably attached to the guitar 50 so as to come out. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cymbal as an example of a body sound instrument attached to the distal end portion of the support member 2, and reference numeral 4 denotes a fastening attached to a portion of the support member 2 between the attachment location of the cymbal 3 and the base end 2B. It is a clip as a tool, and the support member 2 is detachably fixed to the edge 52 of the sound hole 51. The clip 4 is made of a metal-made clip body 5 having a U-shaped cross section having a spring property, and a fiber sheet material, a rubber sheet material or the like for covering the surface of the clip body 5 and preventing the guitar 50 from being damaged. The cover 6 is formed. The clip 4 is attached to the support member 2 by bolts 7 and nuts 8. The cymbal 3 has two single cymbals 30 and 31. A bolt 32 is provided so as to pass through the support member 2 and the two single cymbals 30 and 31, and the support member 2 and the single cymbal 30 are sandwiched between two nuts 33 and 34 on the tip side of the bolt 32. Fixed. The single cymbal 31 is movable along the axis of the bolt 32 between the head 35 of the bolt 32 and the single cymbal 30.

Next, a method of using the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The clip 4 is pushed into the edge 52 of the sound hole 51 while the cymbal 3 is inserted into the sound hole 51 of the guitar 50. The clip 4 clamps the edge 52 of the sound hole 51 by the spring restoring force of the clip body 5, whereby the support member 2 is fixed to the guitar 50.
In this state, when the player strikes the vicinity of the base end 2B of the support member 2 with a finger or applies vibrations, the distal end side of the support member 2 reciprocates around the attachment point of the clip 4 to the support member 2 as a fulcrum. The cymbals 3 are vibrated and make a sound. The sound of the cymbal 3 reverberates inside the guitar 50 and a large reverberant sound is generated from the sound hole 51.
If the player plays the strings 60 to 65 of the guitar 50 with a finger or a pick, the sounds of the strings 60 to 65 reverberate inside the guitar 50 and a large reverberation sound is generated from the sound hole 51. Therefore, the reverberation sound of the cymbal 3 is generated. A variety of music expressions are possible.
After use, the guitar retrofit instrument 1 can be easily removed from the guitar 50 by pulling the clip 4 away from the edge 52 of the sound hole 51.

According to this embodiment, the support member 2 is attached with the clip 4 to the edge 52 of the sound hole 51 of the guitar 50, and the base end side of the support member 2 is hit or vibration is applied. Thus, the cymbal 3 can be sounded to generate a large reverberation sound, and various musical expressions can be made together with the reverberation sound of the strings 60 to 65.
Further, the clip 4 can be easily attached and detached simply by pushing the clip 4 into the edge 52 of the sound hole 51 or pulling the clip 4 away from the edge 52.

In the above-described embodiment, the cymbal is taken as an example of the somatic instrument, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other kinds of somatic instruments such as bells and castanets may be used.
Moreover, although the clip was mentioned as an example as a fastener, you may use other types of fasteners, such as a clamp.
Moreover, although the supporting member is plate-shaped, it can be formed in other shapes such as a rod shape or a cylindrical shape.
The support member is made of plastic, but may be replaced with other materials such as wooden.

  The present invention can be applied to various stringed musical instruments having a sound hole and retrofitted somatic instruments such as cymbals, bells, castanets.
