Problems solved by technology

For musicians, both alternatives are problematic, or at least inconvenient
Similarly, interacting with a touchscreen by hand can be tedious and potentially unhygienic (eg, bacteria build up on the surface)

Embodiment Construction

[0053] As will be apparent from the following description, the invention is applicable to traditional wooden bows as well as more modern bows, and to a wide variety of bowed stringed instruments, including but not limited to: violin, viola, cello, double bass, Chinese erhu, nigu Hepa, Cretan lyre and Indian Sarangi (to name a few).

[0054]For ease of description, the examples or embodiments discussed herein have primarily focused on the violin bow, but those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains will appreciate that the invention is equally applicable to any other type of bow used for any other stringed instrument. bow. Similarly, terms used herein that are most appropriately used in connection with a violin bow should be understood by the reader to be replaced by terms specific to bows used with another instrument as appropriate.

[0055] Before describing one or more embodiments or examples, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 1 to 6 Demonst...

Abstract

A bow for a musical instrument is provided, comprising a bow shaft (1) having a proximal end (18) configured to be gripped by a user and a distal end (112) remote from the proximal end. The distal end is provided with a stylus (110) configured for use with a capacitive touch screen, allowing a music player using the bow to interact with the touch screen device without having to release the bow.

Description

technical field [0001] This disclosure relates to bows for stringed instruments, and generally relates to the use of bows with touch screen devices. The disclosed subject matter is particularly relevant to the use of bows with capacitive touch screen devices. Background technique [0002] The design, functionality and use of the bow for stringed instruments has remained essentially the same since Francois Tourte's modifications in the second half of the 18th century. [0003] The bow is a slender length of suitable material (usually wood, carbon fiber or fiberglass), between 35cm and 80cm (depending on the size and type of stringed instrument it is used for), with a horsetail hair at each end Stretch between. [0004] With the bow held in the right hand (or rarely in the left), a strip of hair runs vertically along the string, where friction causes the string to vibrate and make a sound. Any change in the speed, pressure and / or point of contact of this friction will cause...
