Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, in this structure, the vibration of the string is attenuated through the adhesive layer and then propagated to the piezoelectric element, but it is difficult to obtain sufficient The attenuation effect, so when the string is plucked with a not too strong force, the electrical output level of the piezoelectric element becomes the maximum
Therefore, even when the strings are plucked with a stronger force than this, the output level does not increase and hardly changes, resulting in the defect that the reproduced tone or sound quality is insufficient.
[0013] In addition, there is a tendency that the frequency band that exerts a good attenuation effect becomes relatively narrow, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient attenuation effect in the frequency band to be attenuated. As a result, for example, in When the adhesive layer does not sufficiently attenuate the middle and low ranges compared to the high range, the output level changes unnaturally between these ranges, which also becomes a cause of deterioration in sound quality or timbre

Embodiment Construction

[0048] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0049] First, use figure 1 as well as figure 2 The appearance of one embodiment of the stringed musical instrument of the present invention will be described.

[0050] figure 1 is a side view of the stringed instrument, figure 2 From figure 1 The top view seen from above.

[0051] The stringed instrument 10 of this embodiment has substantially the same structure as an acoustic guitar which is a representative plucked string instrument. The piano body 2 as the main body of the instrument has a front panel 15 and a back panel 16 with the same outer peripheral shape, and is a hollow resonator whose outer peripheries are bonded together by curved side panels 17 . A circular sound hole 14 is formed in the central portion of the bulging portion on the smaller side of the panel 15 .

[0052] And, on the body 2 of the figure 1 as well as figure 2 The f...

Abstract

A stringed musical instrument (10) is structured such that back end sides of a plurality of strings (11) are supported by a saddle (12), a bridge (13) supporting the saddle (12) is provided on a top (15) of a hollow body (2), and a transducer (22) transduces vibration of the strings (11) into an electric signal. The transducer (22) has a mounting surface (22A) attached to face a back surface of the top (15), and the mounting surface (22A) is disposed in an area, in the top (15), including an area right under an area where the bridge (13) is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a conversion device and a stringed instrument equipped with the conversion device, and more particularly relates to a conversion device capable of improving the sound quality of reproduced sounds obtained by output from the conversion device and a stringed instrument equipped with the conversion device . Background technique [0002] As a conventionally known stringed instrument, there is an acoustic guitar, that is, a plucked string instrument having a hollow body and a plurality of strings. As the sound heard directly when playing this acoustic guitar, there are listed the sound produced by the vibration of the strings causing the air to vibrate, the sound produced by the vibration of the strings propagating to the panel of the piano body and vibrating the panel, and the sound produced by passing through the body. The sound produced by the hole. [0003] However, there are also types of acoustic guitars in which a ...
