Description

  The present invention relates to a cymbal type percussion instrument and a cymbal rotation control device.

  Conventionally, in an acoustic cymbal, there is no particular difference in hitting any position in the circumferential direction. Therefore, it is not normally performed to restrict the rotation of the cymbal relative to the stand.

  By the way, an acoustic cymbal having a weak sound function for lowering the volume is known. For example, in the non-patent document 1 below, a configuration is employed in which a large number of small holes are formed in a metal plate constituting a cymbal, and noise is absorbed by absorbing impact energy. In addition, in this cymbal, a sensor for detecting an impact is provided to enable electronic musical tone to be added.

  However, in the cymbal of the above-mentioned reference 1, when the cymbal rotates, the impact position changes, and the detection accuracy may become unstable as described above in relation to the sensor position. Temporarily, it is conceivable to restrict rotation by some member using a small hole formed in the cymbal. However, since there is no small hole in a general-purpose acoustic cymbal, it is not realistic to provide a locking portion such as a small hole for additional control or the like for restricting rotation.

  By the way, conventionally, in an acoustic cymbal, a weak sound tool may be attached to a cymbal for weak sound. In addition, it is also appropriate for the player to attach a tape to the cymbal or to sandwich the peripheral edge with a clip or the like. However, when at least a part of the mounting member such as a weak sound tool is exposed above the cymbal, it is necessary to hit it avoiding the mounting member. Depending on the arrangement of the mounting member, the position of the mounting member changes when the cymbal rotates. May be difficult to play.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cymbal percussion instrument and a cymbal rotation regulation capable of regulating a rotation range without performing special processing or the like on the acoustic cymbal.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment
FIG. 1A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cymbal-type percussion instrument according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 (b) is a schematic perspective view of a cymbal-type percussion instrument as viewed obliquely from the upper side (front side). This cymbal type percussion instrument has an acoustic cymbal 10 (hereinafter abbreviated as cymbal 10) mainly made of metal, and is an acoustic percussion instrument that is played by being vibrated and emitting a performance sound when hit by a player. And an electronic musical instrument that electronically generates a musical tone in accordance with an impact detected by an impact sensor, as will be described later.

  The cymbal 10 has a cup portion 11 and a bow portion 12 connected to the cup portion 11, and is integrally formed in a disk shape. The cup part 11 is slightly raised like a bowl above the bow part 12, and an insertion hole 14 is formed at the center of the cup part 11. The outer peripheral edge of the bow portion 12 is an edge portion 13. When the bow portion 12 is in the horizontal state, the bow portion 12 is gently curved so as to incline downward as it goes radially outward. The bow part 12 has the surface 12a and the back surface 12b, and the surface 12a becomes a surface mainly hit | damaged. In addition, the edge portion 13 and the cup portion 11 can be hit.

  The cymbal 10 is supported by a stand 100 (FIG. 1B) that is a support body having a rod 21. A low sound tool 30 is attached to the cymbal 10 as a low sound device for reducing the striking sound of the cymbal 10. Between the upper cushioning material 24 and the lower cushioning material 23 disposed on the pedestal 22, the connection portion 31 of the cup portion 11 and the weak sound tool 30 is interposed. The rod 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 14 of the cup portion 11 from below and is tightened with a tightening tool 25 that is a wing nut via the cushioning material 24, whereby the cymbal 10 is supported with respect to the rod 21. The rod 21 is loosely fitted in the insertion hole 14, and the cymbal 10 can swing to some extent with respect to the rod 21. As for rotation, the cymbal 10 can be rotated within a range of regulation by a regulation unit 52 described later. The cushioning material 23 may have a cylindrical shape.

  An impact sensor 42 is disposed on the back surface 12 b of the bow portion 12. The impact sensor 42 is composed of a piezoelectric element or the like, and detects the vibration of the cymbal 10. The configuration of the impact sensor 42 is not limited. Although not shown, the percussion instrument includes a musical sound generator having a sound source and a musical sound controller including a CPU, and the musical sound controller generates sound from the musical sound generator based on the detection result of the impact sensor 42. It should be noted that the player can optionally designate whether or not to generate a musical tone based on the detection result of the impact sensor 42 by switching the mode.

  The fixing portion 51 is fixed to the rod 21 below the pedestal 22. The fixing portion 51 may be integrally formed with the rod 21 regardless of the fixing manner. The restricting portion 52 is fixed to the fixing portion 51. In the example of FIG. 1A, the restricting portion 52 is an L-shaped protruding bar in a side view, but the appearance form is not limited. Regardless of the manner in which the restricting portion 52 is fixed to the fixing portion 51, the restricting portion 52 may be formed integrally with the fixing portion 51. In any case, the restricting portion 52 is fixed to the stand 100 via the fixing portion 51. The fixed part 51 and the restricting part 52 are formed of a highly rigid material such as metal or hard resin.

  The upper end of the restricting portion 52 is inserted into a locking portion H which is a locking hole formed in the connection portion 31 of the weak sound tool 30, and the rotation of the weak sound tool 30 is restricted. Since the weak sound tool 30 cannot freely rotate with respect to the cymbal 10, the rotation range of the cymbal 10 is regulated via the weak sound tool 30.

  FIG. 1C is a perspective view of the weak sound tool 30. In FIG. 1A, the thickness of the weak sound tool 30 is exaggerated and drawn. The weak sound tool 30 has a connection portion 31 and is integrally formed of an elastic member such as rubber, elastic resin, or a spring. In addition, you may comprise parts other than the connection part 31 in the weak sound tool 30 with a member harder than the connection part 31. FIG. While the attachment hole 32 is formed in the one end part 31a in the longitudinal direction of the connection part 31, the hook-shaped attachment part 33 is formed in the other end part 31b. The mounting hole 32 has a size that allows the rod 21 to pass therethrough. The connecting portion 31 is formed with a locking portion H for locking the restricting portion 52. The locking portion H is formed between the mounting hole 32 and the mounting portion 33.

  An engagement hole 15 is formed in the bow portion 12 (FIGS. 1A and 1B). The engagement hole 15 is an engagement function portion provided at a position closer to the edge portion 13 than the cup portion 11 in the radial direction. In the present embodiment, the engagement hole 15 is a “second engagement portion”. It is an example.

  The weak sound tool 30 connects a portion 21 b of the rod 21 sandwiched between the cup portion 11 and the buffer material 23 and the engagement hole 15. In the present embodiment, the portion 21b of the rod 21 is an example of the “first engaging portion”. That is, when the rod 21 supports the cymbal 10, the rod 21 is inserted through the mounting hole 32 of the soundproofing tool 30 so that the one end 31 a of the soundproofing tool 30 is sandwiched between the cup portion 11 and the buffer material 23. Then, the cup portion 11 and the one end portion 31 a of the low noise tool 30 are tightened by the tightening tool 25 through the shock absorbing material 24. Further, the attachment portion 33 of the other end portion 31b of the weak sound tool 30 is inserted and engaged into the engagement hole 15 from below.

  The length of the connection portion 31 in the free state (the length from the attachment hole 32 to the attachment portion 33) is set slightly shorter than the distance between the portion 21b and the engagement hole 15. Therefore, when the attachment hole 32 is engaged with the portion 21b and the attachment portion 33 is engaged with the engagement hole 15, the connection portion 31 is pulled, and the elasticity causes the portion 21b and the engagement hole 15 to approach each other. Energize. Since the portion 21b is a part of the rod 21 fixed to the stand 100, a biasing force F1 directed toward the radial center of the cymbal 10 having the insertion hole 14 is relatively applied to the engagement hole 15 (FIG. 1 (b). As a result, as the cymbal 10, the insertion hole 14 and the engagement hole 15 are biased in a direction approaching each other.

  By the way, the connection part 31 becomes a non-contact state with respect to the bow part 12 in at least one area | region among the area | regions which oppose the back surface 12b of the bow part 12. FIG. In the example of FIG. 1A, since the bow portion 12 is curved so as to protrude upward, the connection portion 31 is not in contact with the bow portion 12 over almost the entire region.

  On the front side of the cymbal 10, the mounting portion 33 of the weak sound tool 30 is exposed. Therefore, as a performer, it is desired to hit an area without the attachment portion 33 so that the attachment portion 33 does not get in the way. Further, in order to stabilize the accuracy of impact detection by the impact sensor 42, it is desirable that an area close to the arrangement position of the impact sensor 42 in the circumferential direction be impacted. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the impact sensor 42 is disposed in a region opposite to the engagement hole 15 with the insertion hole 14 interposed therebetween. If the cymbal 10 is configured to rotate freely, the striking position in the circumferential direction changes from time to time, and the mounting portion 33 may approach the striking area, while the striking sensor 42 may move away. Yes, there is a risk that it is not possible to hit an appropriate position.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, rotation of the cymbal 10 is indirectly performed by the insertion engagement between the locking portion H of the connection portion 31 and the regulating portion 52 using the weak sound tool 30 which is a mounting member mounted on the cymbal 10. It is regulated to The player may perform the position setting in the rotational direction of the cymbal 10 by positioning the vicinity where the impact sensor 42 is located within the assumed impact range by the player. Since the rotation of the cymbal 10 is restricted, the mounting portion 33 can be avoided to strike, and at the same time the striking sensor 42 can be struck. In addition, since it is not necessary to stop rotation of the cymbal 10 completely even if it says rotation regulation, the relationship between the latching | locking part H and the control part 52 may be loose fitting.

  The locking of the restricting portion 52 to the locking portion H can be performed in a state where the weak sound tool 30 is attached to the cymbal 10. That is, since the weak sound tool 30 has elasticity, it is easy to insert the restricting portion 52 through the locking portion H using the elasticity of the connection portion 31. The restricting portion 52 may also be provided with an elastic characteristic that bends in the vertical direction.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a temporal change in the hitting sound volume depending on whether or not a weak sound tool is attached. In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents the elapsed time (sec) after impact, and the vertical axis represents the volume (dB). When there is no weak sound tool, the volume does not decrease to 0 dB even after about 1.0 second. On the other hand, when a conventional weak sound tool is worn and muted almost completely, the sound is completely attenuated before about 0.2 seconds elapses. On the other hand, when the weak sound tool 30 of the present embodiment is attached, the sound volume is attenuated to 0 dB when about 0.5 seconds elapse. Further, when paying attention to the maximum level, the maximum level is suppressed to a low level when the weak sound tool 30 of the present embodiment is mounted, as compared to any of the case where no weak sound tool is used or when the conventional weak sound tool is mounted. That is, the sound volume is kept low while the sound decay time is kept moderate.

  According to the applicant's analysis, it has been found that such an effect is obtained by biasing the insertion hole 14 and the engagement hole 15 in the cymbal 10 in the direction in which they approach each other. Unlike the conventional configuration in which a soft weak sound tool is placed on a cymbal, in this embodiment, a tension in the compression direction is applied to a part of the cymbal 10, thereby reducing the volume without excessively attenuating a high-frequency rich sound. It can be kept low.

  Moreover, since the connection part 31 of the weak sound tool 30 has an area | region which becomes a non-abutting state to the bow part 12 among the area | regions which oppose the bow part 12, it is the structure which contacts a bow part in all the areas like the past. Thus, the vibration of the bow portion is not suppressed over a large area. As a result, the hitting sound does not change significantly from the original cymbal sound.

  According to the present embodiment, the restricting portion 52 is fixed to the fixing portion 51 fixed to the rod 21 of the stand 100 and the restricting portion 52 is locked to the locking portion H of the weak sound tool 30. It is possible to regulate the rotation. You can hit the appropriate area always determined by the rotation restriction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the weak sound tool 30 from getting in the way of hitting. Further, the detection accuracy by the impact sensor 42 is stabilized. Moreover, since the weak sound tool 30 attached to the cymbal 10 is used to restrict the rotation, it is not necessary to additionally process the cymbal 10 for providing a hole or a locking portion only for the rotation restriction. It is easy to apply to common cymbals. Therefore, since there is no special processing etc. on the acoustic cymbals, it is possible to produce sound with the volume and tone of the acoustic cymbals, and the rotational range of the cymbals can be regulated, improving the accuracy of hit detection, The weak sound tool 30 can be prevented from interfering with the hitting. Moreover, since the weak sound tool 30 is used, it is not necessary to increase the number of components.

  According to the present embodiment, by mounting the weak sound tool 30, it is possible to reduce the volume without exerting an excessive influence on the striking sound.

  In addition, since the portion exposed to the front side of the cymbal 10 is only the mounting portion 33 for the weak sound tool 30, it is not necessary to directly hit the weak sound tool 30 as compared with the conventional configuration in which the cymbal is largely covered from the upper side by the weak sound tool. That is, it is possible to secure a large hitting area where the hitting feel does not change. Therefore, the risk of impairing the hitting feeling is small. Moreover, the appearance of the cymbal 10 does not change significantly. Moreover, since the connection part 31 of the soundproof tool 30 is comprised with an elastic member, and exerts urging | biasing force with the elasticity, it can generate | occur | produce urging | biasing force with a simple structure.

  In addition, the structure of the part attached to the cymbal 10 in the weak sound tool 30 is not restricted to what was illustrated. Although some modified examples will be described later, for example, in the present embodiment, modified examples shown in FIGS. 1D and 1E may be adopted. That is, the attachment portion 33 of the sound attenuator 30 may be formed in a wide shape instead of a bowl shape (FIG. 1 (d)). The same function as that of FIG. 1C can be achieved by inserting and engaging the wide attachment portion 33 into the engagement hole 15. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1E, instead of integrally forming the low sound tool 30, the fitting 34 may be attached to the other end 31b, and the hook-like attachment 33 may be formed on the fitting 34. In addition, since at least a part (mainly the connection portion 31) of the low noise device 30 may have elasticity, a metal fitting or the like in which the attachment hole 32 is formed may be attached to the one end portion 31a.

  The number of engagement holes 15 formed in the cymbal 10 may not be one, and one of the small holes adopted in the above-mentioned Patent Document 4 may be used.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 3A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cymbal-type percussion instrument according to the second embodiment. FIG. 3 (b) is a schematic perspective view of cymbal viewed from diagonally above. FIG. 3 (c) is a perspective view of the weak sound tool 30. In FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the cushioning material 24 and the clamp 25 are not shown.

  In the first embodiment, the attachment portion 33 of the soundproof tool 30 is engaged with the engagement hole 15 formed in the cymbal 10. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the weak sound tool 30 is connected to the edge portion 13 which is the outer peripheral edge of the bow portion 12. Further, the shape of the weak sound tool 30 and the shape of the restricting portion 52 that engages the weak sound tool 30 are different from those of the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the sound attenuator 30 connects the portion 21b of the rod 21 and the edge portion 13x. The edge portion 13x is an arbitrary portion in the circumferential direction of the edge portion 13 that is the outer peripheral edge of the bow portion 12, and the position thereof is not limited. In the present embodiment, the edge portion 13x is an example of the “second engaging portion”.

  A mounting hole 32 is formed in the longitudinal middle portion of the low sound tool 30. The length between the mounting hole 32 and the mounting portion 33 in the weak sound tool 30 is set to be slightly shorter than the distance between the portion 21 b and the edge portion 13 x. A locking portion H is formed at one end 31e of the weak sound tool 30 (FIGS. 3A and 3C). On the front side of the cymbal 10, the mounting portion 33 of the weak sound tool 30 is exposed. It is desirable to mount the weak sound tool 30 so that the mounting portion 33 is positioned in the area opposite to the impact sensor 42 with the insertion hole 14 therebetween.

  As shown to Fig.3 (a), the rod 21 is penetrated and engaged with the attachment hole 32 of the weak sound tool 30. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, the hook-like attachment portion 33 of the other end portion 31 b of the low-sound tool 30 is engaged with the edge portion 13 x so as to hang from the lower outer peripheral side upward. When the attachment hole 32 is engaged with the portion 21b and the attachment portion 33 is engaged with the edge portion 13x, the connection portion 31 is pulled, and the portion 21b and the edge portion 13x are urged toward each other by its elasticity. As a result, the insertion hole 14 and the edge portion 13x are urged toward each other, and the urging force F2 toward the insertion hole 14 acts on the edge portion 13x (FIG. 3B). In addition, as in the first embodiment, the connection portion 31 is not in contact with the bow portion 12 over almost the entire region.

  By urging the insertion hole 14 and the edge portion 13x toward each other in the cymbal 10, an effect that the sound volume can be suppressed low while the sound attenuation time is maintained appropriately as described with reference to FIG. An effect is obtained.

  Moreover, the one end part 31e side rather than the attachment hole 32 in the weak sound tool 30 curves below and is arrange | positioned hanging down. Although the shape of the fixing | fixed part 51 and the control part 52 differs with respect to 1st Embodiment, the basic composition is the same. The restricting portion 52 is inserted into the locking portion H formed at one end 31 e of the weak sound tool 30, and the rotation of the weak sound tool 30 is restricted. Therefore, the rotation range of the cymbal 10 is restricted.

  According to the present embodiment, the rotation range can be regulated without performing special processing or the like on the cymbal, and the accuracy of the hit detection is improved, and the weak sound tool 30 does not interfere with the hit. The same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  According to the present embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained with respect to reducing the sound volume without excessively affecting the hitting sound. Moreover, since the cymbal 10 does not need to have the engagement hole 15, the versatility of the weak sound tool 30 is higher.

  In addition, you may mutually replace this Embodiment and 1st Embodiment about the position which provides the shape of the weak sound tool 30, and the latching | locking part H. FIG. That is, in the first embodiment, the locking portion H is provided at a position further extended downward from the position of the mounting hole 32 in the weak sound tool 30 and hanging downward, and the regulating portion 52 is locked to the locking portion H. Good. Or in 2nd Embodiment, the latching | locking part H may be provided between the attachment hole 32 and the attachment part 33, and the control part 52 may be latched.

Third Embodiment
FIG. 4A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cymbal-type percussion instrument according to the third embodiment. FIG. 4 (b) is a schematic perspective view of the cymbal viewed obliquely from above. FIG. 4C is a perspective view of the weak sound tool 30. FIG. In FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the cushioning material 24 and the clamp 25 are not shown.

  In the third embodiment, the two engagement holes 15A and 15B formed in the cymbal 10 are connected by the weak sound tool 30. Each of the engagement holes 15A and 15B is an engagement functional portion provided at a position closer to the edge portion 13 than the cup portion 11 in the radial direction. The weak sound tool 30 shown in FIG. 4C corresponds to a configuration in which the attachment portions 33 of the weak sound tool 30 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1C are provided at both ends of the connection portion 31. That is, a hook-shaped attachment portion 33A is formed at one end 31a in the longitudinal direction of the connection portion 31, and a hook-shaped attachment portion 33B is formed at the other end 31b. The length of the connection portion 31 (the length between the attachment portions 33A and 33B) is set to be slightly shorter than the distance between the engagement holes 15A and 15B.

  A locking portion H is formed at a position close to the attachment portion 33A in the longitudinal direction of the weak sound tool 30 (FIG. 4C). At the front side of the cymbal 10, the attachment portions 33 </ b> A and 33 </ b> B of the weak sound tool 30 are exposed. The impact sensor 42 is disposed in a region far from both the engagement holes 15A and 15B in the circumferential direction of the cymbal 10 (FIG. 4B).

  Regardless of the time before and after the rod 21 supports the cymbal 10, the attachment portion 33 </ b> A of the one end portion 31 a of the sound absorber 30 is inserted into the engagement hole 15 </ b> A from below and the attachment portion 33 </ b> B of the other end portion 31 b is moved downward. And engage with the engagement hole 15B. Then, the connection portion 31 is pulled, and the engagement holes 15A and 15B are urged toward each other by the elasticity. Biasing forces F3 facing each other act on the engagement holes 15A and 15B (FIG. 4 (b)). As described above, in order to obtain the weak sound effect, the direction of the urging force does not need to face the center of the cymbal 10 in the radial direction.

  Although the shape of the fixing | fixed part 51 and the control part 52 differs with respect to 1st Embodiment, the basic composition is the same. The upper end of the restriction portion 52 is inserted into the locking portion H formed in the connection portion 31 of the weak sound tool 30, and the rotation of the weak sound tool 30 is restricted. Therefore, the rotation range of the cymbal 10 is restricted. The restricting unit 52 and the weak sound tool 30 cooperate to function as a rotation restricting device that restricts the rotation range of the cymbal 10.

  According to the present embodiment, the rotation range can be regulated without performing special processing or the like on the cymbal, and the accuracy of the hit detection is improved, and the weak sound tool 30 does not interfere with the hit. The same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  According to the present embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained with respect to reducing the sound volume without excessively affecting the hitting sound.

  By the way, it is desirable that the engagement holes 15 </ b> A and 15 </ b> B to be connected by the weak sound tool 30 are provided at positions as close as possible to the edge portion 13. This is because the volume reduction effect is higher when the region receiving the tension in the compression direction is closer to the edge portion 13. In the first embodiment, it is desirable that the engagement hole 15 be close to the edge portion 13 and, in the second embodiment, the edge portion 13 x be a target of engagement, for the same reason. by.

  In the present embodiment, the modified example shown in FIG.

  In the examples of FIGS. 5B and 5C, the attachment portion 33 and the attachment portion 33B may be engaged with the edge portion 13 as in the example of FIG. Good. In these cases, the edge portion 13 is the “second engagement portion”. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 4A, the weak sound tool 30 may be arranged on the front side of the cymbal 10.

  6A to 6K are schematic views of the cymbal 10 to which the weak sound tool 30 of the modified example is attached. In each figure, the hole corresponding to the engagement hole 15 (Fig. 1 (a) etc.) provided in the cymbal 10 is shown as a white circle, but this may be the hook 16 (Fig. 5 (a)) . Moreover, the latching | locking part H provided in the weak sound tool 30 was also shown with the white circle. The edge portion 13x is a portion of the edge portion 13 where the weak sound tool 30 is engaged. About the shape of the part engaged with an engaging part in the weak sound tool 30, according to the shape of an engaging part, a hook shape, a hole, etc. are employable suitably. The engaging portions to be connected by the low-sounding tool 30 are three (FIGS. 6A to 6D, 4 J), four (4) (FIG. 6 (e) to 6 (h)), and 5 (FIG. It may be 6 (i) or six or more. In addition, the weak sound tool 30 may be configured to connect all three or more engaging portions alone (FIGS. 6A, 6D, 6E, 6H, 6I, 6I, and 6E). j)). Or you may provide two or more weak sound tools 30 which connect some engagement parts among several engagement parts (FIG.6 (b), (c), (f), (g)). The locking portion H is formed at an appropriate position of the damping tool 30. Alternatively, the projecting piece 31f may be formed integrally with the low noise device 30, and the locking portion H may be formed on the projecting piece 31f (FIGS. 6A, 6E, and 6G). Although the illustration of the striking sensor 42 is omitted in each drawing, the striking sensor 42 is preferably provided on the back side of the cymbal 10 in a region where the weak sound tool 30 is not exposed upward.

  In addition, although the weak sound tool 30 is arrange | positioned on the back side of the cymbal 10 in FIG. 6 (a)-(j), you may arrange | position on the front side of the cymbal 10. FIG. Moreover, although the example which applies this invention to cymbal was demonstrated until now, you may apply to a high hat cymbal so that it may illustrate to FIG. 6 (k). In that case, for example, the attachment of any one of the above-described weak sounding devices 30 is applied to either or both of the upper cymbal 10A and the lower cymbal 10B. In addition, although it may become the structure where the meat | flesh part of the weak sound tool 30 intervenes between the upper cymbal 10A and the lower cymbal 10B, there is no problem if the flesh part of the weak sound tool 30 is a part in the circumferential direction. . That is, when the two cymbals collide with each other, a sound is generated by appropriately colliding with a portion of the weak sound tool 30 where there is no flesh. In the example of FIG. 6 (k), the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5 (b) can be employed above the upper cymbal 10A for the configuration of engagement between the restricting portion 52 and the locking portion H. .

  In the examples described so far, the length of the connecting portion is set in advance so that an appropriate biasing force is exhibited. However, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7D, an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the connection portion may be provided.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, a lock mechanism 39 capable of switching the lock position with respect to the wire 131 is provided, and the length corresponding to the connection portion 31 of the wire 131 can be switched stepwise. It is also good. Regardless of the configuration of the lock mechanism 39, a configuration in which the wire 131 is locked or released by changing the angle is conceivable. The length adjusting mechanism may be a stepless one. When the configuration of FIG. 7 (a) is applied to the second embodiment (FIG. 3 (a)), as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the end of the portion extended from the mounting hole 32 is engaged. A stop H may be provided. Moreover, as shown in FIG.7 (c), you may employ | adopt the mechanism of a turnbuckle in the connection part 31. FIG. Any type of turnbuckle, split frame type or pipe type, may be adopted. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the connecting portion 31 is constituted by two plate members 131A and 131B, and the plate member 131A is connected to the plate member 131B with bolts 41 through the long holes 40 provided in the plate member 131A. It may be a configuration for fastening. The total length of the connecting portion 31 can be adjusted at the tightening position of the bolt 41 with respect to the long hole 40. With such an adjustment mechanism, the degree of weak sound can be adjusted. Moreover, it becomes possible to comprise the weak sound tool 30 only with the metal etc. which do not have elasticity. For example, in the configuration shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the length of the connecting portion 31 can be easily manually-operated after both ends of the weak sound tool 30 are engaged with the engaging portion to be engaged. Since it can be adjusted, the metal sound attenuator 30 can give an appropriate tension to the cymbal 10.

  By the way, in each said embodiment, the control part 52 was a combination of one rod and the latching | locking part H was a hole. However, the combination of the two is not limited to the exemplification, as long as it can be engaged with the weak sound tool 30 to restrict the displacement in the rotational direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 7E, the restriction portion 52 may be disposed in such a manner as to sandwich the weak sound tool 30 from both sides in the rotation direction of the cymbal 10. For example, a modification is applied to the sound attenuating tool 30 shown in FIG. 1C, and a locking portion H2 as a notch portion is formed in the connection portion 31. On the other hand, a pair of rod-shaped parts 52a are formed to protrude from the restriction part 52. And the control part 52 is arrange | positioned so that the latching | locking part H2 may be located between a pair of rod-shaped parts 52a. The locking portion H2 may be sandwiched between the rod-shaped portions 52a with a little margin. With such a configuration, each of the above embodiments can be applied to a modification.

Fourth Embodiment
In the configuration described above, the low-tone tool 30 is disposed on either the front side or the back side of the cymbal 10. However, the damping tool 30 may be separately disposed on both the front side and the back side of the cymbal 10. Further, as described in the fourth embodiment, an integrated low sounding tool 30 disposed on the front side and the back side of the cymbal 10 may be employed.

  FIG. 8A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cymbal percussion instrument according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 8 (b) is a perspective view of the weak sound tool 30.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the sound attenuator 30 includes an upper connection portion 31 </ b> B and a lower connection portion 31 </ b> A as the connection portions 31. A mounting hole 32A is formed in the end portion 31Aa of the lower connection portion 31A that is also one end portion of the connection portion 31, and a mounting hole 32B is formed in the end portion 31Ba of the upper connection portion 31B that is also the other end portion of the connection portion 31. . The upper connection portion 31B and the lower connection portion 31A are connected by a connecting portion 36. The connecting portion 31 does not need to be bent in advance at the connecting portion 36, and may be flat from the end portion 31Aa to the end portion 31Ba via the connecting portion 36 in a free state.

  The lower connection portion 31 </ b> A is formed with a locking portion H where the restricting portion 52 is locked. The locking portion H is formed between the mounting hole 32A and the connecting portion 36. The structure of the fixing | fixed part 51 and the control part 52 is the same as that of 1st Embodiment. The upper end of the restricting part 52 is inserted into the locking part H, and the rotation of the weak sound tool 30 is restricted. Therefore, the rotation range of the cymbal 10 is restricted. It is desirable to mount the sound attenuator 30 so that the sound attenuator 30 is located in a region opposite to the side where the hitting sensor 42 is disposed with respect to the rod 21.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the upper side of the cup portion 11 of the rod 21 is fastened with a fastening tool 25 via a cushioning material 24. The mounting hole 32 </ b> A is engaged with a portion 21 b (lower engagement portion) sandwiched between the cup portion 11 and the cushioning material 23. The mounting hole 32B is engaged with a portion 21a (upper engagement portion) of the rod 21 which is sandwiched between the cup portion 11 and the shock absorbing material 24.

  In such a configuration, first, when the rod 21 supports the cymbal 10, the rod 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 32 </ b> A so that the end portion 31 </ b> Aa of the lower connection portion 31 </ b> A is sandwiched between the cup portion 11 and the cushioning material 23. Insert from below. Next, the connecting portion 36 is wound around the edge portion 13x, and the rod 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 32B so that the end portion 31Ba of the upper connection portion 31B is sandwiched between the cup portion 11 and the cushioning material 24. Thereafter, the end portion 31Ba and the cushioning material 24 are fastened by the fastening tool 25 from the upper side of the cup portion 11.

  The length of the connecting portion 31 (the length between the mounting holes 32A and 32B) is slightly shorter than the distance from the portion 21b to the portion 21a via the edge portion 13x. As a result, the lower connection portion 31A and the upper connection portion 31B are each pulled, and due to their elasticity, the edge portion 13x is biased in the direction in which the portions 21b and 21a are present, that is, in the radial center direction of the cymbal 10. Be done. In comparison with the first embodiment, the portions 21b and 21a each correspond to a “first engagement portion”, and the edge portion 13x corresponds to a “second engagement portion”.

  In addition, you may employ | adopt the shape of the curved part equivalent to the curved part 31c (FIG.5 (b)) in the middle of the upper side connection part 31B in the radial direction of the cymbal 10. FIG.

  According to the present embodiment, the rotation range can be regulated without performing special processing or the like on the cymbal, and the accuracy of the hit detection is improved, and the weak sound tool 30 does not interfere with the hit. The same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  According to the present embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained with respect to reducing the sound volume without excessively affecting the hitting sound. In particular, since the cymbal 10 does not need to have an engagement hole for mounting the weak sound tool 30, the versatility of the weak sound tool 30 is also high. Moreover, since the structure of the weak sound tool 30 is simple, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and since the sound is weak from both the front and back sides, the sound effect is high.

  Further, although the mounting member of the present embodiment has been described as a weak sound tool, it may be used to change the timbre like a general mute. For example, the tone may be changed by setting the magnitude of the tension and the contact area of the mounting site as desired. A plurality of variations may be prepared for the magnitude of tension and the contact area of the attachment site, and a desired one may be selected and used.

  In the configuration of FIG. 8, either or both of the end portion 31Aa of the lower connection portion 31A and the end portion 31Ba of the upper connection portion 31B, instead of the attachment holes 32A and 32B, a hook-shaped attachment portion 33A (FIG. 5 (c) may be adopted.

  Also in the present embodiment, the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5B can be employed above the cymbal 10 for the configuration of the engagement between the restricting portion 52 and the locking portion H.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, when the effect of preventing the sound effect of the cymbal and increasing the accuracy of the hit detection and preventing the mounting member from interfering with the hit is mainly obtained, it is engaged with the restricting portion 52. The mounting member to be used may not be the weak sound tool 30. For example, a member fixed to the cymbal 10 such as an accessory may be used.
