Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Chinese national musical instrument technology, specifically relating to a new type of bass ruan musical instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Most ruan instruments on the market today are either the traditional four-string ruan or the modern six-string ruan. Both types of ruan suffer from a narrow bass range and insufficient bass frequency response, making them unsuitable for performance needs. Currently, the field of Chinese folk music orchestras includes many instruments, among which the ruan is a classic instrument with a history of thousands of years. Most ruan instruments on the market are the traditional four-string ruan or the six-string modern ruan. These are mostly mid-range instruments. The traditional large ruan is also a mid-range instrument. Both of these types of ruan have a narrow bass range and insufficient bass frequency range, which makes them difficult to meet the needs of performance.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop some bass ruan instruments to fill the gap in the market and traditional folk music instruments. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a novel bass ruan musical instrument, the specific solution of which is as follows: A novel bass ruan musical instrument includes a soundbox, the soundbox having a front panel with a sound hole, a neck at the top of the soundbox, a fingerboard on the neck, and a headstock at the end of the neck; the headstock has multiple tuning pegs for fixing the strings, and each tuning peg has a tuning pin for adjusting the string tension; the bottom of the soundbox has a tailpiece, the front of the soundbox has a tailplate, a tail cord is provided between the tailpiece and the tailplate, and strings are provided between the tailplate and the tuning pegs; the front panel has a bridge that fits against the strings.
[0005] Based on the above, the angle between the plane where the fingerboard is located and the plane where the soundboard is located is 20-35 degrees, and the end of the fingerboard away from the headstock is suspended in the air.
[0006] Based on the above, the number of tuning knobs is six.
[0007] Based on the above, a nut is pre-embedded on the neck of the instrument, and the soundbox is fixed to the neck by bolts corresponding to the nut.
[0008] Based on the above, the material of the piano pegs is wood.
[0009] Based on the above, the tuning knob is a worm gear tuning knob made of metal.
[0010] Based on the above, the guitar strings are made of metal guitar frets.
[0011] This utility model has substantial features and progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. The novel bass ruan instrument provided by this utility model has a wider bass range compared to traditional ruan instruments; 2. The new bass ruan instrument provided by this utility model has a fingerboard that is tilted and raised relative to the soundboard. In addition, a high bridge structure is formed by the bow plate and the bridge, which increases the structural stability of the product. 3. The novel bass ruan instrument provided by this utility model solves the problems of high frets, heavy fingerboard, and string slippage of traditional ruan instruments by combining guitar frets, fingerboard, and tuning pegs. 4. The new bass ruan instrument provided by this utility model combines traditional wooden tuning pegs with modern metal tuning knobs, which has the technical advantages of more accurate and convenient tuning and less prone to going out of tune.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments. Example
[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a novel bass ruan musical instrument, including a soundbox 1. The soundbox 1 includes a front panel 1-1 with a sound hole on the front panel 1-1. The top of the soundbox 1 has a neck 2 with a fingerboard 3 and a headstock 4 at the end of the neck 2. The headstock 4 has multiple tuning pegs 9 for fixing the strings 11 and tuning pegs 10 for adjusting the tension of the strings 11. The bottom of the soundbox 1 has a tailpiece 6 and the front of the soundbox 1 has a tailplate 5. A tail rope 7 is provided between the tailpiece 6 and the tailplate 5, and the strings 11 are provided between the tailplate 5 and the tuning pegs 9. The front panel 1-1 has a bridge 8 that fits against the strings 11.
[0019] The angle between the plane where the fingerboard 3 is located and the plane where the top panel 1-1 is located is 20-35 degrees, and the end of the fingerboard 3 away from the headstock 4 is suspended in the air.
[0020] To broaden the bass range, the number of tuning knobs 9 mentioned above is six.
[0021] To facilitate the fixing of the neck 2 and the soundbox 1 together, a nut 12 is pre-embedded on the neck 2, and the soundbox 1 is fixed to the neck 2 by bolts 13 corresponding to the nut 12.
[0022] The aforementioned piano shaft 10 is made of wood.
[0023] To improve the problems of string slippage and intonation caused by the traditional tapered piano pinion 10 connecting with the string 11 via a tapered connection, the aforementioned tuning knob 9 adopts a metal worm gear tuning knob 9.
[0024] To ensure more accurate pitch and prevent out-of-tune notes when pressing the strings, the aforementioned string 11 uses metal guitar frets.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model 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 this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
