Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a violin training device. [Background Technology]

[0002] The violin is a Western bowed string instrument with a beautiful tone, wide range, and strong expressive power. It is considered one of the three major instruments in the world, along with the piano and classical guitar. The violin has four strings, and it produces sound through the friction and vibration of the bow and strings. The left-hand fingers press the strings on the fingerboard to change the length of the string vibration, thus producing different pitches.

[0003] The proper posture for holding the violin requires the arm, wrist, and fingers to maintain a certain shape and tension to support the violin and perform precise playing. In violin practice and performance, right-hand bowing technique is the soul of the violin's sound production, determining its timbre and tone shape. Beginners typically practice basic skills directly on a physical violin. However, improper bowing postures can easily lead to uncomfortable bowing habits that are difficult to correct. Furthermore, practicing directly on the strings will inevitably produce unpleasant sounds for beginners, causing significant frustration.

[0004] Furthermore, violin left-hand technique is more complex, involving the non-dominant hand position. The left thumb and index finger rest lightly against the neck, with the base of these two fingers forming a "tiger's mouth" with the neck. The palm is slightly tilted inward, and the index finger's knuckle is roughly level with the back of the hand, without forming a fist. This posture requires a certain degree of tension in the arm and hand muscles to support the violin and ensure accurate string pressing. During violin playing, the left-hand fingers need to press the strings precisely, requiring a certain level of strength and control. This presents a significant challenge for beginners.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model came into being. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology and provide a violin training device with a simple structure that enables violin playing practice.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a violin training device includes a rod-shaped main body 1. The main body 1 has multiple elastic buttons 2 for practicing fingering. The main body 1 also has a bowing component 3 that can slide along it. A locking mechanism 4 is provided between the bowing component 3 and the main body 1 to lock their relative positions. When practicing violin, beginners can adjust and lock the bowing component 3. The beginner holds the bow in their right hand and rubs it back and forth on the bowing component 3 to practice bowing, while the left hand presses the elastic buttons 2 to practice fingering. Therefore, using this violin training device to practice violin playing will not produce unpleasant noise and allows beginners to develop correct bowing hand shape and position from the beginning, improving practice effectiveness.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bowing component 3 includes a base 31 that can slide on the main body 1, and multiple rotatable rolling columns 32 are hinged to the base 31. When beginners practice bowing, the bow rubs back and forth on the rolling columns 32 to practice bowing. The rolling columns 32 can be covered with silicone to provide a certain damping effect, and the bow string rubs against the silicone, which can be twice as effective for beginners' bowing practice. In this embodiment, the rolling columns 32 are spaced apart along the circumference of the base 31, allowing the practitioner to change the bowing angle during bowing practice, facilitating bowing practice. This violin auxiliary training device can help beginners master and improve right-hand bow holding relaxation, right-hand bowing trajectory, and enhance the perception of pressure on the strings at various parts of the bow.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 31 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 33, and each of the rolling columns 32 is disposed in the corresponding positioning groove 33.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 31 is fitted onto the main body 1 and can slide along the main body 1. The locking mechanism 4 includes multiple locking holes 41 arranged along the length of the main body 1. An unlocking block 42 is rotatably connected to the base 31. One end of the unlocking block 42 is movably connected to a locking pin 43 that can engage or disengage with the locking hole 41 when it rotates. The other end of the unlocking block 42 is provided with a first return spring 44 between it and the base 31, which can push the unlocking block 42 to rotate and reset. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the bow-carrying component 3, by pressing one end of the unlocking block 42, the unlocking block 42 rotates relative to the base 31, causing the locking pin 43 to disengage from the locking hole 41 on the main body 1. At this time, the base 31 can be slid to adjust the position of the bow-carrying component 3. In this embodiment, the position of the bow-carrying component 3 is adjustable, making it convenient for practitioners of different sizes to adjust the bow-carrying component 3 to a suitable position for bowing practice.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body 1 can also be detachably connected to a shoulder rest 5 and a chin rest 7. During practice, the shoulder rest 5 rests against the shoulder, and the chin rest 7 rests against the practitioner's chin to position one end of the main body 1. The left hand holds the other end of the main body 1 and practices fingering by pressing the elastic button 2, while the right hand holds the bow and practices bowing on the bowing component 3, simulating violin playing in a more realistic manner and improving the practice effect. Of course, the shoulder rest 5 or chin rest 7 can also be detached when not needed.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the shoulder support 5 includes a body 51 that supports the shoulder. The body 51 has an upwardly extending connecting post 52. The main body 51 has a connecting hole 11 for the connecting post 52 to be inserted. A locking assembly 6 is also provided between the main body 1 and the connecting post 52 to lock them together. The locking assembly 6 includes an annular groove 61 on the connecting post 52. A sliding piece 62 is provided inside the main body 1. The sliding piece 62 has a through hole 63 through which the connecting post 52 passes. The through hole 63 has a locking edge 64 that engages or disengages with the annular groove 61 when the sliding piece 62 slides. A second return spring 66 is provided between one end of the sliding piece 62 and the main body 1 to push it back to its original position. The other end of the sliding piece 62 has a button 65 exposed on the main body 1. By pressing the button 65, the sliding piece 62 slides, causing the locking edge 64 to disengage from the annular groove 61. The main body 51 can then be pulled down to remove the shoulder support. The assembly and disassembly are very convenient and simple.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the chin rest 7 includes a connecting sleeve 71 that can be fitted onto the end of the main body 1. The connecting sleeve 71 has a support portion 72 with an arc surface that can support the chin. The connecting sleeve 71 also has a snap-fit ​​hole 73 that can engage with the button 65 when it is fitted onto the main body 1. When it is necessary to remove the chin rest 7, it can be pulled outwards directly, making installation and removal convenient and quick.

[0037] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the main body 1 has multiple button holes 12. The elastic button 2 includes a protruding post 21 located inside the main body 1 and protruding from the button hole 12. A third return spring 22 is provided between the lower end of the protruding post 21 and the main body 1 to push the protruding post 21 back to its original position. When practicing with the left hand, the finger presses the protruding post 21. When the finger is released, the protruding post 21 is pushed back to its original position by the third return spring 22. When the finger presses, the protruding post 21 slides relative to the main body 1. The finger does not feel particularly stiff, deeply replicating the tactile sensation of finger pressing on a piano string, thereby practicing finger strength and control, and improving the practice effect.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body 1 also has a hand-holding part 8 protruding to one side to maintain the left hand shape. The hand-holding part 8 includes a support block 81 integrally formed with the main body 1 and capable of supporting the palm. The support block 81 has an arc-shaped contour edge 82. During practice, the support block 81 supports the left palm, restoring the left hand shape during real violin playing, allowing the left hand shape to form muscle memory and ensuring the practice effect.

[0039] This violin training aid helps stabilize the left-hand frame and trains function within a precise finger position framework. It improves muscle parts that are difficult to train in regular practice, greatly reducing the technical difficulties for beginners in violin operation.

[0040] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
