[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0030] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 Now, the glissando and vibrato playing structure of the ancient konghou and harp provided by the utility model is described. The glissando and vibrato playing structure of the ancient konghou and harp comprises a main body 1, strings 2, a soundboard 3 and an inner beam 4. The main body 1 comprises a first connecting portion 11 and a second connecting portion 12 connected to the first connecting portion 11. The soundboard 3 is mounted on the first connecting portion 11. The first connecting portion 11 has an inner cavity 111. The soundboard 3 is provided with a string hole 31 connected to the inner cavity 111. Both ends of the inner beam 4 are connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity 111. One end of the string 2 is mounted on the inner beam 4 and passes through the string hole 31. The other end of the string 2 is mounted on the second connecting portion 12.

[0031] It can be understood that the soundboard 3 of the ancient konghou and harp playing glissando and vibrato structure is installed on the first connecting part 11, and the first connecting part 11 has an inner cavity 111. The soundboard 3 is provided with a string hole 31 connected to the inner cavity 111, and both ends of the inner beam 4 are connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity 111. One end of the string 2 is installed on the inner beam 4 and passes through the string hole 31. The other end of the string 2 is installed on the second connecting part 12. By connecting the two ends of the inner beam 4 to the cavity wall of the inner cavity 111, most of the tension of the strings 2 on the soundboard 3 is reduced, and the beam fixed to the soundboard 3 in the prior art can be removed, thereby improving the deformation state of the soundboard 3 and increasing the life of the musical instrument. Since the beam fixed to the soundboard 3 is removed, the soundboard 3 is liberated, so that the vibration of the soundboard 3 is more sufficient, so that the volume of the musical sound emitted by the musical instrument can reach more than 90 decibels.

[0032] It should be noted that the soundboard 3 is bonded to the first connection portion 11 , so that the soundboard 3 and the first connection portion 11 enclose an inner cavity 111 .

[0033] It should be supplemented that the main body 1 is divided into two parts and shaped by an engraving machine, so as to form the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the cavity wall of the inner cavity 111 is provided with a first mounting groove 112 and a second mounting groove 113, one end of the inner beam 4 is embedded in the first mounting groove 112, and the other end is embedded in the second mounting groove 113. By providing the first mounting groove 112 and the second mounting groove 113, the inner beam 4 can be installed in the inner cavity 111, so that the connection part between the strings 2 and the inner beam 4 is suspended in the inner cavity 111.

[0035] Furthermore, the harp glissando and vibrato playing structure further comprises an adhesive member, which is bonded to the groove wall of the first mounting groove 112 and the inner beam 4, and is also bonded to the groove wall of the second mounting groove 113 and the inner beam 4. By providing the adhesive member, the inner beam 4 can be stably mounted in the first mounting groove 112 and the second mounting groove 113.

[0036] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure for playing glissando and vibrato on the ancient konghou and harp also includes a plurality of balance bars 5, the inner beam 4 is provided with a plurality of long holes 41 according to the string distance, each balance bar 5 is mounted on the inner wall of each long hole 41 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each string 2 is mounted on each balance bar 5 in a one-to-one correspondence. By arranging the balance bar 5 based on the principle of a balance and mounting it on the long hole 41, functions such as glissando and vibrato can be realized.

[0037] In this embodiment, the balance bar 5 includes a bar body and a connecting bar connected to the bar body, wherein the connecting bar is provided with a string groove, and the strings 2 are connected in the string groove. By providing the string groove, the strings 2 can be conveniently connected.

[0038] Further, two connecting rods are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rod body. By arranging two connecting rods, the strings 2 can be designed as double-row strings, and the double-row strings connected to the balance rod 5 can realize music such as vibrato, tremolo, up and down glissando.

[0039] In one embodiment, continue as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the soundboard 3 is concave, and both sides are arc-shaped. Specifically, the soundboard 3 can be made of mahogany or spruce. The soundboard 3 is concave and has both sides arc-shaped, which can amplify the vibration of the strings 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the structure for playing glissando and vibrato on the ancient konghou and harp further includes a peg 6, which is installed on the inner side of the soundboard 3. Specifically, the peg 6 can be made of mahogany. By bonding and fixing the peg 6 to the corresponding position on the inner side of the soundboard 3, the vibration energy of the strings 2 can be transmitted to the soundboard 3, which reduces the tension on the soundboard 3 compared to the method in the prior art where the strings 2 are directly tied to the panel, and avoids excessive deformation of the soundboard 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the ancient konghou, harp playing glissando, tremolo structure also includes a string nail 7, which is installed on the second connecting part 12 and connected to the string 2. By setting the string nail 7, the tension of the string 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the frequency and pitch.

[0042] In this embodiment, the harp glissando and vibrato playing structure further comprises a string fixing nail 8, which is installed on the second connecting portion 12 and is used to determine the string length of the string 2. By providing the string fixing nail 8, the effective string length can be nailed on the main body 1.

[0043] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
