Description

  The present invention relates to a piece of stringed instrument.

  As a common structure of stringed instruments, since the sound generated by the vibration of the string itself is fine, it has a device (resonator) that amplifies the sound. The resonance body generally has a hollow structure, and the surface of the resonance body is covered with a vibration medium (vibration film) such as leather, paper, and thin plate.

The role of the conventional string instrument piece is to transmit the vibration of the string played by the player to the resonator through the vibrating membrane. It was not designed to withstand the impact from a bee because it was not assumed that a bee would be played directly by a bee.
Therefore, when a piece is hit with a bee, the piece may be damaged or the string may be deteriorated. Also, when playing a string with a bee, there was a risk of the piece falling off the string unexpectedly.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a piece that can play a sound by striking a piece with a bee, and can play a sound by repelling a string with a bee as usual, that is, a dual-purpose piece.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a hit portion that can hit a bee on the top of the piece, and has at least one string hole formed therein, and supports the string inside the string hole. Provided is a string instrument piece characterized in that a string support portion is formed.

  It is preferable that the hit portion is a substantially flat surface.

  It is preferable that the shape of the frame end surface or the frame front surface is a substantially mountain shape.

  It is preferable that the structural member which comprises the said to-be-shot part is comprised.

The feature of this piece is that a hit portion that can be hit with a bee is formed. When this hit part is hit with a bee, the kinetic energy is transmitted to the diaphragm through the piece.
Furthermore, the string is lifted by the reaction of the piece to cause vibration, and the vibration energy of the string is transmitted to the vibration film, so that it is possible to produce a multi-layered and reverberant sound.

Combined with playing the string directly with a bee as before, it creates a new use for stringed instruments.
The musical instrument using the piece of the present invention can be used for a wide range of purposes.

  In addition, by inserting a string through a string hole formed in the piece, it is possible to prevent the piece from being unexpectedly detached from the string.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stringed musical instrument piece according to an embodiment of the present invention. The string instrument piece 10 according to the present invention has a piece end face 12 at both ends and a piece front face 13 at the front.
The figure shows a state where it is placed on a resonator of a stringed musical instrument, and a hitting portion 11 is formed on the top of the piece 10 as a place where a bee hits when playing with a bee. ing.
The hit portion 11 is formed with a surface having a certain width so that a bee can be easily hit, and the hit portion 11 in FIG. 1 has a flat surface.

A string hole 15 through which the string 20 can be inserted is provided in the front face 13. In the illustrated example, the chord hole 15 is provided at a position approximately in the center of the piece 10 in the height direction (approximately the center between the hit portion and the placement surface).
In this embodiment, since the piece used in the shamisen is assumed, three rows of string holes 15 are formed. However, when used for an instrument having more strings, more string holes can be provided. However, the string holes are not limited to three rows. The string in the present invention corresponds to a shamisen thread.

  The piece is made of materials such as wood, synthetic resin, rubber, plastic, glass, ceramic, paper, and metal. With the structure of the piece shown in the figure, it is possible to increase the durability performance compared to the conventional piece.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a stringed musical instrument piece according to an embodiment of the present invention. A string support portion 16 that supports the string 20 is formed near the center of the string hole 15 in the axial direction.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of Modification 1 of the string instrument piece according to the embodiment of the present invention. The shape of the peripheral end surface 12 is a substantially chevron. A piece peripheral surface 14a exists on a surface that rotates around the piece end portion as an axis, and a hit portion 11 is formed on the piece peripheral surface 14a.
Although not visible from the drawing, it is possible to reduce the weight of the piece by providing a recess on the placement surface side. An acoustic change occurs due to the presence of the dents on the piece peripheral surface and the piece placement surface.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of Modification 2 of the string instrument piece according to the embodiment of the present invention. The shape of the circumferential front surface 13 is a substantially mountain shape. A piece peripheral surface 14b exists on a surface that rotates around the chord axis direction, and a hit portion 11 is formed on the piece peripheral surface 14b.

  In general, the shape of the piece is not limited to the illustrated shape, and may be a shape such as a substantially sphere or a substantially hemisphere. In the case of the shape of a substantially sphere or a substantially hemisphere, the area of the peripheral surface of the piece is increased, and the area that can be used as the hit portion is also increased.

  FIG. 5 is a front view of a third modification of the string instrument piece according to the embodiment of the present invention. A hit portion 11 is formed on the top of the piece. A string hole 15 through which the string 20 can be inserted is provided in the front face 13. In the illustrated example, three string support portions 16 are formed, and a plurality of strings 20 can be shared by one string hole 15.

FIG. 6 is a front view of Modification 4 of the string instrument piece according to the embodiment of the present invention. A hit portion 11 is formed on the top of the piece. Further, one string hole 15 is formed at a substantially central portion in the length direction, and two string support portions 16 are formed on both sides thereof.
Of course, it is possible to increase the number of string holes and string support portions according to the number of strings of the stringed instrument, and it is possible to improve the connectivity with strings by providing two or more string holes.
By inserting the string 20 through the string hole 15, it is possible to prevent the piece from being unexpectedly detached from the string 20.

  7 is a perspective view of Modification 5 of the string instrument piece according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the illustrated example, a component member 17 constituting the hit portion 11 is provided. By mounting the component member 17, the hit portion 11 is provided as a whole piece. A flat surface is formed on the upper portion of the component member 17.

The component member 17 is made of the same or different material as the main body of the piece, and a material such as metal, rubber, plastic, glass, or ceramic can be used.
In the case where a metal material is used, when the bee hits the hit portion 11, a metal sound is heard. By changing the component member 17, it becomes possible to enjoy different sounds.
