Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plucked string instrument technology, specifically relating to a guqin with a four-arc resonator and fingerboard. Background Technology

[0002] Ancient books record that Fuxi made the qin (a seven-stringed zither). There are also legends of Shennong making the qin, Huangdi creating the qin, and Tang Yao creating the qin; Shun standardized the qin to have five strings. King Wen added one string, and King Wu added another string during his conquest of Zhou, making it seven strings. ; This demonstrates the long history and profound depth of Chinese guqin culture. Furthermore, the guqin, also known as the yaoqin, yuqin, or seven-stringed zither, is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument with a history of over three thousand years, belonging to the silk category of the eight categories of musical instruments. The guqin boasts a wide range, a deep timbre, and a lingering resonance.

[0003] The existing guqin has the following problems in use: 1. Due to its structural sound production principle, the vibration of the guqin's soundboard is greatly limited. The contact points between the strings and the soundbox are at the Yueshan and Longyin points, both of which transmit string vibrations. These points are made of solid paulownia or cedar wood, which greatly reduces the energy of the string vibration after it is transmitted to the soundbox, thus reducing the volume and affecting the timbre; 2. The lack of an independent fingerboard in the existing guqin structure greatly limits the vibration of the soundboard, limiting the volume of the guqin and forcing it to be played only in very quiet environments; 3. In addition, the complex manufacturing process and methods of the guqin, such as wrapping it in cloth and scraping off ash multiple times, allow the hard outer shell of the guqin's wooden structure to reach a thickness of 4 mm, which also significantly attenuates the vibration of the guqin's soundbox.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new guqin to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a guqin with a four-arc resonator on the fingerboard. The specific solution is as follows: A guqin with a fingerboard and a four-arc resonator includes a resonator formed by a double-arc bottom plate, a double-arc top plate, a string hanger, and a string pin plate. A fingerboard is fixed between the string hanger and the string pin plate, and the fingerboard is located above the double-arc top plate. Multiple strings are arranged between the string hanger and the string pin plate. The double-arc top plate has bridges that pass through pre-drilled holes in the fingerboard and do not contact the fingerboard, which are used to support the strings. The bottom of the resonator has feet. The surface of the resonator is coated with shellac lacquer.

[0006] Based on the above, the material of the fingerboard is Burmese rosewood.

[0007] Based on the above, one end of the string is fixed to the string plate by a string pin, and the other end of the string is fixedly connected to the string pin plate by a string pin.

[0008] This invention has outstanding substantive features and significant progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, this invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention adds a fingerboard, which is made of hard wood, to ensure the realization of functions such as pressing the strings, vibrato, and glissando. The strings are mounted on the newly set bridge, which allows the vibration to be transmitted to the soundboard and soundbox for amplification to a greater extent.

[0009] 2. The present invention uses string-fixing cones and string-hanging pins to fix the strings, which not only makes them stronger and more durable, but also improves the problem of out-of-tune notes to a certain extent.

[0010] 3. This invention uses a double-arc panel and a double-arc base plate that are joined together to construct the resonance box, which increases the structural strength of the resonance box, prevents its deformation, and enhances the volume and acoustic quality without affecting the original playing habits.

[0012] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments. Example

[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a guqin with a four-arc resonator box and fingerboard, including a resonator box 7. The resonator box 7 is formed by a double-arc bottom plate 3, a double-arc top plate 4, a string hanger 1, and a string nail plate 9. A fingerboard 2 is fixed between the string hanger 1 and the string nail plate 9. The fingerboard 2 is located above the double-arc top plate 4. Multiple strings 6 are provided between the string hanger 1 and the string nail plate 9. The double-arc top plate 4 is provided with a bridge 8 that passes through a preset hole in the fingerboard 2 and does not contact the fingerboard 2 to support the strings 6.

[0014] To facilitate support of the resonator 7, the bottom of the resonator 7 is provided with feet 5.

[0015] The aforementioned fingerboard 2 is made of Burmese rosewood, which has a high hardness, thus ensuring the realization of functions such as pressing the strings, vibrato, and glissando.

[0016] One end of the string 6 is fixed to the string plate 1 by a string pin, and the other end of the string 6 is fixedly connected to the string pin plate 9 by a string pin.

[0017] It should be noted that the transverse and longitudinal sections of the aforementioned double-arc panel 4 are both arc-shaped; the transverse and longitudinal sections of the aforementioned double-arc base plate 3 are also both arc-shaped.

[0018] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed in the present invention.
