Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a samisen and stickers for the samisen which practically plays a newly set scale and is optimal for beginner's practice in the samisen with fretless neck or practically a snake skin samisen for playing Okinawa folk songs. SOLUTION: Indices for supporting the playing are written on the surface of the neck 2. Position names corresponding to the respective position places are written on finger plates 8 on the neck 2 as the indices and the corresponding finger names are written in the same places in the longitudinal direction of the neck 2 as the position places which are highly frequency pushed on the side of the neck 2 as the indices similarly. As for the position places and names on the finger plates 8, new positions and their names are set (setting of new scale) in the position places which are not set conventionally so as to cope with the recent music play. The scale code names or the finger names are printed on the rear face of the stickers whose bottoms are transparent and stuck to the appropriate places on the neck so that the indices for supporting the play can be written.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shamisen having a fretless rod, specifically, a three-wire for playing Okinawan folk songs, and enables newly set scales to be specifically pronounced, so that even a beginner can easily play. And a shamisen sticker.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The shamisen used for playing Okinawan folk songs is also called the snake skin line, and is recently called the Okinawa shamisen or simply the shamisen. At the end of the 14th century, the Chinese three-string tribe was introduced to Ryukyu (now Okinawa Prefecture), and it was further transformed into the mainland of Japan and turned into a shamisen. I have.

[0003] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a conventional three-line system, and the names of the respective parts are such that a part corresponding to a peg in a generally known stringed instrument is range 1, and a part corresponding to a neck is a rod. 2. The part corresponding to the body corresponds to the torso 3, and the part corresponding to the bridge corresponds to the upper piece 4 and the lower piece 5 at the tip of the rod and the piece at the torso 3, respectively. What is called acupoint.

[0004] Three strings 6 are usually 2 feet (about 60.6 cm)
Three pieces are stretched in parallel across the upper ends of both the upper piece 4 and the lower piece 5 which are spaced apart, and are wound around the tip of the rod 2 in three sections 1 respectively, while the end of the body 3 The parts are collectively hooked to the thread hook 7. The lower piece is movable for adjusting the tone (tuning) and adjusting the position of the acupoint. Also, on the surface of the fingerboard 8 on the rod, no support such as a fret in a stringed instrument such as a normal guitar is fixed, and no display or entry is made. ing.

Conventionally, most sanshins are configured to play a scale based on the maikai symbol devised by Mahira, a pioneer of sanshin playing. In other words, specifically, the distance between the upper and lower pieces is set to the same two lengths (about 60.6
cm) as an initial reference value, so that a desired scale of the Maka ratio can be produced at the acupoint position on the fingerboard 8 as shown in FIG.
In this figure, the tuning (tuning) is performed by tightening the range 1 (not shown) and moving the lower piece 5. In this case, the tuning and the acupoint adjustment were repeatedly performed by using a tone whistle corresponding to each string or by the sound of a skilled person.

In FIG. 3, the dimensions shown on the left side with respect to the rod 2 are when the distance between the upper piece 4 and the lower piece 5 is set to the above-mentioned initial reference value of two lengths (about 60.6 cm). Are the distances from the upper piece 4 to the respective acupoint positions. On the contrary, the numbers shown on the right side across the rod 2 indicate the distance from the upper piece 4 to each acupoint position with respect to the distance from the upper piece 4 to the lower piece 5. The ratio of the interval is shown.

[0007]

However, musical compositions composed in recent years have become increasingly complex in pitch, and there is a demand for setting a new musical scale other than the Maka ratio scale, which has been conventionally used as a standard, even when performing on three lines. Was.

[0008] The symbols and scales of the above-mentioned Maka ratio expression are scales (major scale, Major Scale) used in other Western musical instruments.
) Was not defined on the basis of a clear theory, but was merely taught by human communication, and was otherwise defined only frankly (roughly) in written music. . As a result, there is a problem in that the pitch differs between regions, schools, and even individuals, and the reproducibility of the music is accordingly reduced.

On the other hand, on the three-wire rod, there is no equivalent to the fret as on the neck of the guitar, and the points on the strings are located at a continuous position between the upper and lower pieces. To play the correct pitch by holding down a key point had to be a highly trained and skilled expert.

Further, since tone adjustment and acupoint adjustment are performed by both closing the range and moving the position of the lower piece, the acupoint position is not constant in the fretless three-track, and the accurate sound (accurate pitch) of the three-track is grasped. Not for beginners was very difficult.

In addition, when a symbol is originally written on a shamisen rod that has been used by an individual, it is difficult to write and print the symbol because of the material, and it is difficult to set an accurate position between the symbols. Therefore, the degree of perfection was low.

[0012] In view of the above problems, the present invention sets the scale required for playing a new musical piece played in recent years,
By clearly setting and displaying the positions of the acupoints of the whole scale, including this new scale, on the corresponding fingerboard of the rod, it becomes a concrete sounding means of the new scale, and at the same time, quickly and easily for beginner education The purpose is to provide a shamisen that can remember the key points. In addition, a sticker that displays an index such as an acupoint name corresponding to the acupoint position and a nomination corresponding to the finger position by being attached to an appropriate position on the rod for a normal shamisen having no indication on the rod. The purpose is also to provide.

[0013]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is constituted as follows. First, the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that the acupoint is applied to a shamisen having a rod which can be set at a continuous position on the string, and a performance support index is written on the rod. Thereby, even when a beginner uses a shamisen having a fretless rod, it is possible to easily learn the performance by referring to the index.

[0014] Further, as described in claim 2, the index is an acupoint name corresponding to each position of the acupoint, and is written on a fingerboard of a rod. Thus, even when a beginner uses a shamisen provided with a fretless rod, it is possible to easily learn the acupoint position by referring to the index and to grasp an accurate pitch.

Further, for example, the acupoint positions to be entered are 0.058, 0.15 in the ratio of the distance from the upper piece to the upper and lower pieces on each string.
7, 0.281, and 0.363. As a result, a new musical scale that could not be designated (notated) on the musical score in the past can be specifically set, and an accurate musical notation corresponding to a new musical composition in recent years can be performed. Enables performance.

Also, for example, as described in claim 4, the index is the name of a finger to be pressed corresponding to each position of the acupoint, and the mark is written on the side of the rod at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the rod. Features. Thus, even during the performance of a beginner, it is possible to support smooth performance without causing confusion when selecting a finger to be pressed.

Also, for example, the name and the position of the corresponding finger to be pressed are 0.107 in the ratio of the distance from the upper piece to the upper and lower pieces on each string. Index finger, middle finger at 0.157 position, 0.20
The middle finger is set at the position of No. 6, the ring finger and the little finger are set at the position of 0.248, the little finger is set at the position of 0.281, and the little finger is set at the position of 0.327. It is characterized by filling in each nomination. As a result, the finger position, which has not been clearly defined, is set to an appropriate arrangement, and a smoother playing method is established as a standard.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, an index for performance support is written on a shamisen provided with a rod whose acupoints can be set at continuous positions on the string, and can be attached to the rod. This is an indicator sticker, which can be used to display an index for performance support by properly affixing it on a shamisen rod that has no entry in the past, and the symbol display can be restored by replacing it Becomes

[0019]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the scale used in the conventional three-line musical score and its symbol, the Makia scale scale,
The scales and symbols newly set according to the present invention are set in addition to the conventional ones for the Maka ratio expression symbol, and the Oki expression scale, named after the inventor, Ms. Oshiro, Called the formula symbol.

FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are a side view and a plan view, respectively, of only a shamisen rod according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, in both figures, the lower piece 5 is erected on the body 3 (not shown), and the distance from the upper piece 4 is 2 feet (about 60.6 cm) in order to maintain the consistency of the Oshiro scale according to the present invention. It is assumed that the position is set as the initial reference position. The lower piece 5 is appropriately adjusted by minute movement at the time of adjusting the tone and the acupoint position.

A flat surface of the surface of the rod 2 on the side facing the strings 6 is particularly called a fingerboard 8, and the position shown in FIG. The corresponding acupoint name (scale symbol) is written at a position on the fingerboard 8 that contacts when pressed. In this case, the acupoint position is set to include the acupoint position based on the Oshiro scale according to the present invention, in addition to the conventional aka scale scale. The size of the entire character (including two characters) is substantially the same as the area where the fingertip that presses the acupoint simultaneously contacts the fingerboard 8, and the entire character (including two characters). Fill in so that the center point of corresponds to the accurate acupoint position.

With the above-described configuration, even when a beginner uses a three-wire having the fretless rod 2, even if a beginner uses the above-mentioned symbol, the user can easily learn the acupoint position and grasp the accurate pitch. It becomes possible. In addition, new scales that could not be specified (notated) on conventional music have been specifically set, enabling accurate notation of music corresponding to complex music in recent years and accurate performance corresponding to the music. And

Next, the position shown in FIG. 1A, that is, the acupoint position which is frequently pressed on the fingerboard 8 when playing a normal music (including the acupoint position based on the Oshiro scale newly set in the present invention) ) And the same name on the side of the rod 2 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rod 2, the names of the corresponding fingers to be pressed are written. There are six places to be filled in this order from the acupoint at the position of 0.107 to the body 3 in the ratio of the distance from the upper piece 4 to the distance between the upper and lower pieces on each string. The names of the index finger, middle finger,
The middle finger, ring finger and little finger, little finger, little finger are set.

The nomination to be entered in the position on the side of the rod 2 corresponding to the acupoint position of the position of 0.248 in the ratio is "ring finger (little finger)" in consideration of the fact that the ring finger is pressed more frequently. ". And in the actual performance, the finger position for pressing the acupoint and the corresponding nomination are not limited to those entered, but can be changed in any way depending on the configuration of the performance / music. On the side of the trunk 3 on the side of the street 2, a note of “there is a finger position shift depending on the music” is written, and the finger position is referred to as a reference setting position.

In the above description, the "distance ratio on each string" which is a numerical value specifying the acupoint position is based on a measurement statistic based on the rule of thumb of Ms. Oshiro, the inventor. With the above-described configuration, even during the performance of a beginner, smooth performance can be supported without causing confusion by selecting a finger to be pressed. In addition, we will set the finger position that was previously unclear to an appropriate arrangement,
A smoother playing style will be established as a standard.

It should be noted that the direction in which the nomination and the acupoint name on the rod 2 according to the present invention are to be entered is not limited to the illustrated direction. Can be written rightward according to the player's selection.

Further, in order to simply display the acupoint position or the finger position accurately, a configuration in which a simple graphic symbol or point is filled in as an index instead of the character of the acupoint name or the nomination is also possible. In this case, only the positions of the acupoints or finger positions are recognized, but the configuration is relatively simple in appearance.

As for the writing method, mechanical printing, handwriting, embedding of ivory and the like are possible. Another method is to print the scale symbol name or nomination from the back of a sticker with a transparent base and attach it to an appropriate position on the pole to fill in an index for performance support. By attaching it to the appropriate position on the rod, it is possible to display the performance support index on the shamisen used in the above, and even if the display disappears due to wear due to long-term use. By repositioning, the symbol display can be restored.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to set the scale required for playing a new musical piece played in recent years and to set the positions of the acupoints of the whole scale including this new scale. By clearly setting and displaying on the fingerboard of the corresponding rod, it becomes a concrete sounding means of the new scale, and at the same time, it is possible to provide a shamisen for beginner education that can quickly and easily learn the accurate acupoint position. Further, it is possible to provide a sticker that allows the individual to easily and appropriately write the above-mentioned symbol on a normal shamisen rod.
