Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shamisen piece. Traditionally, when practicing the shamisen in a private home, etc., except in a practice hall with special soundproofing, it was necessary to keep the volume low so as not to disturb those around you, and for this purpose, pieces called shinobi pieces were used. I used to practice with a small sound using the shamisen, but when I used the shamisen, it was naturally difficult to hear the sound of the shamisen strings.
Therefore, even if a tuning machine was used, not only would it not be possible to tune the shamisen properly, but the original tone of the shamisen would be completely lost.

Therefore, in the present invention, in consideration of the above points, we devised the shape of the bridge so that the string sound does not directly reflect on the skin stretched over the body of the shamisen, and at the same time built a microphone into the bridge body, which collects the string sound. The idea was to provide a shamisen piece that could be amplified through an amplifier and then listened to through earphones or a headphone.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 2 denotes the body of the shamisen body 1, which is composed of a pair of longitudinal frames 3, 4 and transverse frames 5, 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a pole, which is attached to the short frame 5 of the body 2. Reference numeral 8 denotes leather, which is stretched over the upper and lower surfaces of the trunk 2.
Reference numeral 9 is a piece made of red wood, synthetic resin, etc., and legs 10 and 11 are integrally formed at both ends thereof with substantially the same spacing as the spacing between the longitudinal frames 3 and 4 of the body portion 2. The leg portions 10 and 11 are formed to maintain a gap 12 with respect to the surface of the skin 8. Reference numeral 13 is a thread guide, which is integrally attached to the upper center of the piece 9. A small microphone 14 is built into the piece 9, and the microphone 14 is connected to an amplifier 15 and a tuning machine 16. Reference numeral 17 is a headphone connected to the amplifier 15 and tuning machine 16 in order to listen to the amplified string sounds.

When the piece 9 of the present invention is used, the string sound of the shamisen is sent as an electric signal from the microphone 14 built into the piece 9 through the string path 13 and the piece 9 to the amplifier 15 and the tuning machine 16. It can be heard through a headphone 17 via an amplifier 15 and a tuner 16. At this time, the legs 10 and 11 of the piece 9 are
The distance between the legs 10 and 11 is approximately the same as the distance between the longitudinal frames 3 and 4, and the distance between the legs 10 and 11 is between the surface of the skin 8 and the gap 12.
Since the bridge is designed to hold the sound of the strings, the sound of the strings does not resonate from the bridge 9 to the skin 8, and therefore only the person using the headphone 17 can hear the sound of the strings.

In the present invention, legs 10 and 11 are formed at both ends of the shamisen body 1 with substantially the same spacing as the longitudinal frames 3 and 4 of the body 2, and the legs 10 and 11 are
A gap 12 is provided between the skin 8 stretched on the body 2, and
The string path 13 is integrally attached to the upper center of the piece 9, and the microphone 14 is built in.As mentioned above, only those using a headphone can hear the string sound of the shamisen, so it is suitable for general households etc. When practicing with a headphone, there will be no disturbance from those around you, and those using a headphone will not only be able to fully enjoy the original tone of the shamisen, but will also be able to tune the shamisen accurately since there will be no noise other than the string sounds. This is an extremely useful device that exhibits various excellent effects.
