JPH0950275A - Pad type aerophone - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to bodily feel scale and sense of pitch and to culture a rhythm feel by forming a pad body of a synthetic resin and disposing sounding bodies at the parts communicating the hollow inside of the pad body and the outside. SOLUTION: This pad type aerophone is constituted by forming the pad body 10 which has a hollow structure and is elastically deformable, out of a synthetic resin and disposing at least one piece of the sounding bodies 15 which produce the tones on the scale by a gas generated at the time of deformation of the pad body 10 at the parts communicating the hollow inside 11 of the pad body 11 and the outside. For this sounding body 15, for example, flute which produces sound by air flow generated according to the elastic deformation of the hollow inside 11 of the pad body 10 is suitable. Though there are many kinds of the flutes, all flutes are usable, no matter the flutes have holes or not, insofar as they produce the sound by air flow. Since the air flow for sounding is created by the deforming force applied on the pad body 10, the pad body 10 is formed elastically deformably out of synthetic resin materials.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel musical instrument, and more particularly to a pad type vocal musical instrument having a flat outer shape, which can be held in a hand and produces a sound by pushing or tapping. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, pianos and electronic keyboard musical instruments have been conventionally used as musical instruments that can be used for musical activities of infants. Rhythm instruments are also used to cultivate a sense of rhythm, but they do not have the function of learning the concept of scale. It can be said that there are almost no dedicated musical instruments that can be used as an introduction to music.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and its object is to make the scale and pitch feel and to develop the sense of rhythm and to enrich music activities. .

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a structure in which a pad body 10 having a hollow structure and which is elastically deformable is made of synthetic resin, and is scaled by an air flow generated when the pad body 10 is deformed. (EN) Provided is a pad-type pneumatic musical instrument having a structure in which at least one sounding body 15 for producing the above sound is provided in a portion communicating with the hollow inside 11 and the outside of the pad body 10.

In this pad-type pneumatic musical instrument, since the pad main body 10 having flexibility can be formed by the sponge, the pad-type pneumatic musical instrument can withstand rough handling of an infant or the like and may be injured even if thrown or hit. Unlikely

[0006] Since this pneumatic musical instrument is composed entirely of flexible pads made of synthetic resin such as sponge, there is no risk of damage. In addition, a sound is generated by pushing or tapping, so that it is easy to arouse the interest of the infant.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The pad type musical instrument of the present invention comprises:
For example, it was developed so that an infant with no musical knowledge could experience how the sound is produced while playing with it, and that there is a scale.

For this reason, it has a flat outer shape that can be held in the hand, can make a sound by pushing or tapping, and has a flat outer shape that is easy to handle. Moreover, it is difficult to recognize the act of producing a sound or handling an instrument, if the sound is produced just by touching it like a bell. On the other hand, it is easy to experience the causal relationship that a sounding instrument produces sound as a result of operation.

This pneumatic instrument has a hollow structure and is constructed by combining a sounding body 15 with a pad body 10 which is elastically deformable by pushing or tapping. Therefore, the sounding body 15 is preferably a sounding body, for example, a whistle, which emits sound by the air flow generated by the elastic deformation of the hollow inside 11 of the pad body 10. There are many types of whistles, but anything that is played by the airflow can be used regardless of whether the whistle is invisible.

The pad body 10 is made of a synthetic resin material so as to be elastically deformable in order to generate an air flow for sounding with a deforming force applied to the pad body 10. Therefore, in the embodiment, an intermediate member 12 in which a plate material made of a resin foam is formed in a donut shape is prepared, and a plate material made of the resin foam is formed in a disk shape having the same outer diameter as that of the intermediate member 12. The outer surface members 13 and 14 are bonded to both surfaces of the intermediate member 12 to form the pad body 10 having the hollow interior 11.

It is also within the scope of the present invention to attach eight octave sounding bodies 15 for one octave having different pitches to the pad body 10 to form a set of eight pad type musical instruments. For this reason, in order to distinguish the scales of Doremi Fasori by color, it is advisable to color the pad body 10 with each color.

In the case of the embodiment, the sounding body 15 has a structure having a lead 18. Reference numeral 20 is a pipe-shaped main body, 21 is a plate having pores 22, which is attached to the pipe-shaped main body 20 so as to be ventilated, and the leads 18 are attached to the plate 21 at one end by means such as spot welding so as to cover the pores 22.

At least one mounting opening 16 is formed on the outer periphery 17 of the pad body 10 and has one end opening to the hollow interior 11 and the other end opening to the hollow interior 11.
5 is fixed. A plurality of sounding bodies 15 may be provided in one pad body 10. When a plurality of sound generators 15 are provided, it is possible to use sound generators having different frequencies (indicated by 15 'and 15 "in FIG. 4) that cause beats. This further enhances the acoustic effect. 23 is a scale name display, which is printed or attached near the sounding body.

The pad-type pneumatic musical instrument of the present invention having the above-described structure is formed in a size that is easy to handle, for example, an outer diameter of the pad body 10 of several tens of cm and a thickness of several cm. In one example, good results have been obtained with an outer diameter of 30 cm and a thickness of 4.2 cm.

Therefore, the pad-type pneumatic musical instrument of the present invention is more likely to produce a sound as it is pushed closer to the central portion of the pad body 10,
The volume of the sound changes depending on whether you press gently or strongly.
You can also enjoy the joy of making a sound because the volume and appearance of the sound changes when you slap your hand and slap it open. In addition, by placing this instrument on the floor and stepping on it to produce sound, or by using eight instruments of eight types and eight in order of scale, it is possible to cultivate the perception of pitch and the sense of pitch, and the application is extremely wide-ranging. is there.

[0016]

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it is very effective in making infants and the like feel the scale and pitch, and is also suitable for training a sense of rhythm.
With this instrument, you can enjoy music while moving your body, which has the effect of enriching your music activities.
