Sound deadening tool and sound deadening musical performance tool

Abstract

A sound deadening tool and a sound deadening musical performance tool according to embodiments of the invention have a high sound deadening effect on stringed instruments while various senses of discomfort during a musical performance, such as a musical pitch, expressive power, and a touch feeling are suppressed to a minimum level, and the sound deadening tool can easily and securely be used and attached. A vibration suppressor of the sound deadening tool includes a pair of metallic weights and that is fixed while side faces of a saddle are sandwiched therebetween, and the pair of metallic weights and have a substantially identical mass. The pair of metallic weights and is fixed by a pair of tightening screw, and the pair of metallic weights includes recesses that are not in contact with a string attached to the saddle. Plate-like antivibration members include sheet attaching recesses, suction sheets adhere to the sheet attaching recesses by double-sided adhesive tapes, and the plate-like antivibration members are detachably attached to the sound box by the suction sheets. The sound deadening musical performance tool includes an electronic module that is disposed at the back of a saddle of a stringed instrument including a sound box and at a position in an opposite direction to a neck. The electronic module enables a player to listen to sound-deadened musical performance with a usual sound volume through an earphone in an upper surface of the detachably-attached plate-like antivibration member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a silencer and a sound-absorbing player that can be easily and reliably installed and used without degrading the playing feeling and suppressing the volume in stringed instruments having a resonant body such as guitars, violins, and mandolins. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a detachable bridge silencer has been proposed as a silencer for suppressing the volume of a stringed instrument (Patent Document 1). In addition, there are also sales of silencers that clamp the strings with polyurethane or adhesive tape, and it has been proposed to suppress the vibration of the surface plate by attaching a special patch to the surface plate of the stringed instrument, so that the touch and pitch of the strings will not be affected and will not be affected. A muffler for a muted sound effect. In addition, there is also a musical instrument dedicated to practice that does not have a top board or a resonant body (Paten...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the conventional bridge silencers that can be detached from stringed instruments, there are problems such as not being able to sufficiently suppress sound volume, being difficult to fix simply and reliably, hindering performance, and being easy to fall off from the bridge.

[0006] In addition, in a silencer in which the strings are clamped with polyurethane or adhesive tape, or in a silencer in which a special patch is installed on the surface plate of a stringed instrument to suppress the vibration of the surface plate to obtain a mute effect, it cannot be stably suppressed. Vibration effect, and negatively affects the natural vibration of the string, so the player cannot play with ordinary touch

[0007] In addition, since using an instrument dedicated to practice without a surface board or a resonating body is completely different from using an ordinary performance instrument, there is a problem that the actual practice effect is poor due to the difference in tactility although the mute effect is obtained.
