Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of musical instruments, and in particular to a novel zither musical instrument. Background Technology
[0002] The guitar originated in the West and is a representative instrument in Western music; the zhongruan is a traditional Chinese instrument with a long history, dating back to the Han Dynasty.
[0003] The guitar has a full, bright tone with a wide range. Its high notes are crisp and bright, its mid-range rich and full, and its low notes deep and powerful. It boasts a rich and diverse range of tonal variations and strong expressiveness. The zhongruan, on the other hand, has a melodious, gentle, mellow, and warm tone with a fresh and sweet feel. Its sound is deep, resonant, and restrained, possessing a strong classical Chinese flavor. The difference in tone between the guitar and zhongruan is mainly due to their different soundbox structures. Furthermore, the different string arrangements of the guitar and zhongruan lead to different playing techniques, making it impossible for guitarists to experience the feel of playing the zhongruan. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a musical instrument, and the technical problem to be solved is: how to enable a guitarist to play a combination of guitar and zhongruan sounds using the guitar playing method.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] The new type of musical instrument includes a headstock, neck, bridge, tailpiece, and soundbox;
[0007] The resonator has an inner cavity that is cylindrical, and tone holes are provided on the side plates of the resonator; the tone holes are interconnected with the inner cavity of the resonator. The cylindrical structure of this resonator is modeled after the zhongruan (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).
[0008] One end of the neck is fixedly connected to the soundbox; the other end of the neck is fixedly connected to the headstock; the bridge and tailpiece are fixedly connected to the soundbox; and the two ends of the strings are connected to the tailpiece and the headstock, respectively.
[0009] Furthermore, an annular groove is formed on the inner wall of one end of the side plate of the resonator; the outer edge of the panel is embedded in the annular groove; and the panel is fixedly connected to the side plate. This embedded connection method can improve the strength of the panel fixation.
[0010] Furthermore, the side plate is ring-shaped, which is composed of multiple arc-shaped plates, with the ends of multiple adjacent arc-shaped plates connected to each other to form a ring-shaped side plate.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] The resonant box 30 imitates the intermediate ruan; the materials and structures of the head 10, the neck 20, the bridge 40 and the string drawing plate 50 imitate the guitar; and the intermediate ruan sound can be played by a guitarist with the playing skill of the guitar. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0013] Figure 1 It is a whole structure schematic view of the utility model;
[0014] Figure 2 It is a structure schematic view of the side plate 31.
[0015] Correspondence table of reference signs:
[0016] The head 10, the neck 20,
[0017] The resonant box 30, the side plate 31, the sound hole 311, the annular groove 312, the panel 32 and the mortise and tenon structure 33;
[0018] The bridge 40 and the string drawing plate 50. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The specific implementation manners of the utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings. Identical parts are denoted by identical reference signs. It should be noted that the words "front", "back", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the words "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a specific part.
[0020] In order to make the content of the utility model more easily understood clearly, the technical solutions in the utility model embodiments will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the utility model embodiments.
[0021] Participate in the drawing, the new stringed musical instrument includes the head 10, the neck 20, the bridge 40, the string drawing plate 50, the resonant box 30;
[0022] The resonant box 30 is provided with an inner cavity, the inner cavity is cylindrical, and the side plate 31 of the resonant box 30 is provided with a sound hole 311; the sound hole 311 and the inner cavity of the resonant box 30 are in communication with each other. The cylindrical structure of the resonant box 30 is imitated from the intermediate ruan.
[0023] One end of the neck 20 is fixedly connected with the resonant box 30; the other end of the neck 20 is fixedly connected with the head 10; the bridge 40 and the string drawing plate 50 are fixedly connected with the resonant box 30; and the two ends of the string are respectively connected with the string drawing plate 50 and the head 10.
[0024] In summary, the resonant box 30 imitates the intermediate ruan; the materials and structures of the head 10, the neck 20, the bridge 40 and the string drawing plate 50 imitate the guitar; and the intermediate ruan sound can be played by a guitarist with the playing skill of the guitar.
[0025] In addition, since the new musical instrument is a combination of a guitar and a mandolin, the tone is similar to that of the mandolin, and the new tone of the combination of the guitar and the mandolin can be said.
[0026] Further, the inner wall of one end of the side plate 31 of the resonance box 30 is provided with a ring-shaped recess 312, the outer edge of the face plate 32 is embedded in the ring-shaped recess 312, and the face plate 32 is fixedly connected with the side plate 31. The embedded connection mode can improve the fixing strength of the face plate 32.
[0027] Further, the ring-shaped side plate 31 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped plates, the two ends of the adjacent arc-shaped plates are spliced to form a ring-shaped side plate 31, and the two ends of the adjacent arc-shaped plates are connected through a mortise and tenon structure 33.
[0028] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model patent, and does not limit the utility model patent, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the utility model patent should be included in the protection scope of the utility model patent.
