Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is to adjust the pitch of a sound by pressing a string on which the string is stretched with a finger, or to adjust the pitch of the sound while the string is stretched to a finger, or , Playing equipment (pick,
The present invention relates to a keyboard-type electronic string instrument in which the string portion of various conventional string instruments that are played by playing with a playing claw, a playing bow, a drumstick, etc.) is replaced with a key having an electric switch function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, there are various kinds of stringed instruments, and the various kinds of stringed instruments related to the present invention in the present text will be described by classifying them into the following three types. (1). Guitars (with frets on the rod) Guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, banjos, balalaikas, sitars, sitarns, lutes, etc. (2). Violins (without fret on the rod) Violin, viola, cello, double bass, shamisen,
Cucumber etc. (3). Chiters (no rods, strings on the top of the fuselage, with or without frets) Chiters, koto, koto (including Taisho koto), Hawaiian guitar,
Harp etc.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional guitar-type musical instrument, violin-type musical instrument and chiter-type musical instrument have the following problems. (1). Finger pressing is difficult. Adjusting the pitch In general, there are the following difficulties with finger pressing of strings by using the fingers of the left hand. ． Since there is a fret on the guitar type instrument, the correct pressing position is easy to understand, but it is necessary to press it right near the fret. Moreover, since most of them use four fingers at a time to press them, it is necessary to remember how to press them, and it is very difficult to press with the correct finger usage.

.. Since there is no violin-like instrument fret part, it is difficult to know the pressing position, and it is necessary to learn the correct finger pressing position through training and experience. Moreover, good sound cannot be produced unless the correct position is applied properly. ． The correct finger pressing position is easy to understand for a chiter instrument with frets, but it must be pressed right near the fret. If there is no fret, it is difficult to understand the finger pressing position, and it is necessary to learn the correct finger pressing position through training and experience. Moreover, good sound cannot be produced unless the correct position is applied properly. In addition, each musical instrument,
The advanced technique of applying vibrato is not easy either.

(2). It is not possible to play chords, combinations of sounds, and multiple tones easily. ． Guitar instruments Guitars, which are called chord playing methods, allow you to play chords by holding down your fingers with four fingers, but you need to remember how to hold them, and hold down with the correct fingering. It is very difficult for beginners to play chords easily, because it must be done. Then, in some cases, a string that does not play is generated, so it is necessary to remember that and not to play the string. ． Violin musical instrument Basically, it is used as a single tone, and it is not impossible to produce multiple tones, but it requires considerable skill. ． Chiter instruments Similar to violin instruments.

(3). There is no silent function. Recently, pianos with silent functions have been released in consideration of the surrounding environment. In the case of this piano, even if the keyboard moves, the string striking device stops immediately before the string and does not vibrate the string, the movement of the keyboard and the string striking device is electrically captured, and the keyboard is in charge. Since it is an electrically generated sound that can be heard through headphones,
It is designed so that no sound is produced in the surroundings. This silent feature is becoming essential. However, at present, there are no musical instruments such as guitars, violins and chiters having such a silent function.

Since the string instruments such as the guitars, the violins, and the chiters utilize the vibrations of the strings, there is no other way than to stop the vibrations of the strings to prevent the sound from being produced.
But that doesn't make sense for strings. In the case of a piano with a silent function, the movement of the keyboard and the striking device of the string can be electrically captured, but this stringed instrument of guitars, violins, and citers can detect the electrical signal from the vibration of the string. Therefore, the vibration sound of the string does not disappear even if it is a little. Also, since the vibration of the strings is made to resonate by the body to increase it, it is possible to reduce the sound by a method that does not resonate the body, but the sound is difficult to hear and it is different from the original tone color, This is also useless, and it does not become so-called silent with no silence.

(4). It cannot be downsized and cannot be disassembled and folded. The string length must be shortened in order to be used by children, etc., or in order to be miniaturized for portable use.
However, it is impossible to shorten the string because the pitch of the string changes. Further, since the resonance of the body is used, it is difficult to make this property impaired and to easily make the disassembled folding type. (5). It is difficult to play with accompaniment. Basically, these instruments are used as single notes, and it is difficult to add an accompaniment sound to the performance, and it also has a separate accompaniment function and a function to produce the sound of the drum or the bass. Absent. There are many issues such as.

[0009]

[0034]

As described above, the following effects can be obtained. (1). Finger pressing becomes easy. Since it is a keyboard type ,. For instruments with frets 3, it is not necessary to press the correct position near the frets, just press the finger-pressing key 4, and

.. For instruments without frets 3, it is easy to understand where to press your finger, and you only have to press the finger pressing key 4 to make finger pressing much easier. It will also be familiar to people who are not good at playing music and musical instruments. And
Since you can play with exactly the same method as a conventional instrument, you can easily master the finger holding of the correct finger position of the left hand and the playing method of the right hand, and then switch to the conventional instrument, so It can be used as an introduction. Also, the vibrato sound can be produced without any effort.

(2). You can easily play chords, combinations of sounds, and multiple tones. A chord or a combination of sounds can be easily played by pressing one finger pressing key 4 with one finger pressing finger. A beginner can immediately reach an advanced playing style of the instrument. Further, this also makes it possible to simultaneously play two or more overlapping chords, which was not possible with conventional stringed instruments.

In particular, when playing a chord on a guitar instrument, A method for making each string sound of each chord playing key 5 in the state of the chord ,. Only when the player presses the playing key 5 in the row to which the finger pressing key 4 belongs, the chord or the like designated by the finger pressing key 4 is played. Or. No matter which of the playing keys 5 is played, the chord or the like designated by the finger pressing key 4 is played. There is

In the case of, it is possible to play each string with each finger, and in the case of, even if there is a string that is not played depending on the chord, a beginner can play it without worrying about it at all. Moreover, even a person who does not know a string that cannot be played can produce a correct chord sound, which is a great effect. In this case, there is a method in which only the first playing-playing key 5 serves as a switch for producing a sound. Even in the case of arpeggio performance, which requires a relatively advanced technique, the left hand only needs to press one finger pressing key 4 with one finger, and only the right hand can play the body playing key 5 separately with each finger. It is possible by the simple method of playing.

(3). It becomes a silent musical instrument. Since it is an electronic type that uses a keyboard that replaces the strings with keys, you can hear the sound with earphones etc.
Silent function is possible. (4). It can be downsized and can be disassembled and folded. Since it has nothing to do with the length of the string, Small specifications for children ,. Portable reduction specifications ,. Can be disassembled and foldable.

(5). Has an accompaniment function. Because it's electronic,
It becomes possible to add an accompaniment to a conventional electronic performance, bass sound, drum sound, etc.
The sound is expanded and the application is expanded by individual. (6). You can make a completely new musical instrument. A keyboard type musical instrument as a completely new musical instrument, which is not the same shape as a conventional musical instrument, is composed of a finger pressing key 4 and a playing key 5 and produces a new arbitrary sound or a sound of a conventional musical instrument. it can. And so on, it has a great effect.
