Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, with the picks formed separately and independently according to the application as described above, even during performance, it is necessary to appropriately replace them with a predetermined pick according to the performance, which is extremely inconvenient and very troublesome.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such points, and its object is to eliminate the trouble of replacement according to the performance during performance, and to provide a pick for stringed instruments that can be easily adapted to and used for any of hard, medium, and soft.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] To achieve the above objective, the present invention is based on a pick for stringed instruments used when playing a stringed instrument, and comprises a substantially circular or angular plate-shaped pick body. Furthermore, the pick body is provided with a plucking portion along its periphery and used to pluck the stringed instrument, a gripping portion provided inside the plucking portion and used to grip the pick by multiple fingers from both sides, and an ended notch groove extending to separate the plucking portion and the gripping portion and having a discontinuous portion connecting the plucking portion and the gripping portion. The discontinuous portion of the notch groove is provided at a distance from the plucking position where the stringed instrument is plucked by the plucking portion, and connects the plucking portion integrally and cantileveredly to the gripping portion, and the discontinuous portion is constricted relative to the gripping portion. ru.

[0008] Furthermore The discontinuous portion of the notched groove is positioned on the base side of each finger that grips the gripping piece from both the front and back sides. Its defining characteristic is its presence.

[0009] Furthermore, the pick body may be made of metal.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple discontinuous portions of the notched grooves may be provided in close proximity to each other at the separated positions.

[0011] Furthermore, the gripping piece may be provided with holes for preventing slippage. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] In short, the pick body's plucking portion, which runs along the outer edge, and the gripping portion, which is located inside the plucking portion, are integrally connected at a distance from the plucking position where the plucking portion of the pick plucks the stringed instrument, by a discontinuous portion of a notched groove that extends in a terminal shape, separating the two portions. In this way, when the plucking portion and the gripping portion are integrally connected by a discontinuous portion at a distance from the plucking position, the range of flex of the plucking portion starting from the discontinuous portion at the distance from the plucking position becomes larger.

[0013] Therefore, if the finger's gripping position on the gripping piece is brought closer to the discontinuity of the notched groove, the flex of the plucking piece increases, resulting in a flexible tone and functioning as a soft pick. On the other hand, if the finger's gripping position on the gripping piece is moved away from the discontinuity so as to cover a wide area of ​​the notched groove, the flex of the plucking piece decreases, resulting in a hard tone that takes advantage of the hardness of the material itself and functioning as a hard pick. Furthermore, if the finger's gripping position on the gripping piece is set to an intermediate position that slightly covers the notched groove near the discontinuity, the flex of the plucking piece becomes moderate, resulting in a normal tone and functioning as a medium pick.

[0014] This eliminates the hassle of switching picks in the middle of a performance, allowing you to easily adapt to hard, medium, and soft strings simply by changing your finger position with a single pick.

[0015] Furthermore, the length of the notched groove can be changed depending on how the fingertips are held at the discontinuous point where the plucking part separates from the plucking position. This allows for a wide range of tonal flexibility to be expressed even during performance by changing the degree of flexibility of the plucking part.

[0016] Furthermore, by positioning the discontinuous portion of the notch groove on the side where the fingers grip the gripping piece from both the front and back, it becomes easier to press the discontinuous portion of the notch groove with the fingertip side, and it becomes easier to adjust the flex width of the flicking piece starting from the discontinuous portion.

[0017] Furthermore, by forming the pick body from metal, durability can be dramatically improved compared to resin or tortoiseshell materials. In addition, the structure, which integrally connects the plucking portion and the gripping portion via discontinuous sections of notched grooves, allows for sufficient flexibility despite the inherent rigidity of the material.

[0018] Also, by providing a plurality of discontinuous portions of the notch groove, the length of the notch groove is shortened by the plurality of discontinuous portions. For this reason, although the bending width of the elastic piece portion starting from the plurality of discontinuous portions of the notch groove becomes smaller than that of the single discontinuous portion, the bending width of the elastic piece portion can be changed according to the gripping position of the finger with respect to the gripping piece portion, and it has functions as a soft pick, a hard pick, and a middle pick. Thereby, the trouble of replacing the pick according to the performance during the performance is eliminated, and with a single pick, simply by changing the gripping position of the finger, it can be easily adapted and used for any of hard, medium, and soft.

[0019] Also, by providing an anti-slip hole in the gripping piece portion, even if the finger sweats during playing, the anti-slip effect can be exhibited with a simple structure of just making a hole in the gripping piece portion at a low cost.

[0021] Hereinafter, a pick for stringed instruments according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] Figure 1 shows a front view of a stringed instrument pick according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the stringed instrument pick from Figure 1 in use, held in the fingers.

[0023] In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a pick used for playing a guitar as a stringed instrument (hereinafter referred to as "pick"). This pick 1 has a pick body 10 with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a roughly rounded triangular shape, with three first to third corners 11 to 13. The pick body 10 is made of a metal such as stainless steel, and each of the corners 11 to 13 is chamfered.

[0024] The pick body 10 has a plucking portion 14 along its perimeter, and the guitar strings are plucked using the first to third corners 11 to 13, etc. The pick body 10 also has a gripping portion 15 located inside the plucking portion 14, and as shown in Figure 2, when playing, the gripping portion 15 is held between the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 from both sides. In this case, both the front and back surfaces of the gripping portion 15 are formed to be flat.

[0025] Furthermore, the pick body 10 has notched grooves 16 that extend discontinuously along the space between the inner circumferential surface of the plucking portion 14 and the outer circumferential surface of the gripping portion 15. These notched grooves 16 extend at approximately equal intervals to separate the inner circumferential surface of the plucking portion 14 and the outer circumferential surface of the gripping portion 15 from the inward and outward directions, and are formed in the shape of an end-band with discontinuous portions 17 that connect the plucking portion 14 and the gripping portion 15. In this case, the plucking position where the guitar string is plucked by the plucking portion 14 is the third corner portion 13, and the discontinuous portion 17 is located near the first corner portion 11, which is a spaced-out position away from this plucking position.

[0026] Both ends of the notched groove 16 are chamfered in a roughly semi-circular shape, with a discontinuous portion 17 located between them. The gripping piece 15 is formed in a shape that is almost similar to the pick body 10. The first corner 11 of the plucking piece 14 and the corner of the gripping piece 15 that corresponds to this first corner 11 are integrally connected via the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16. At this time, the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16 is located on the base side of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 that grip the gripping piece 15.

[0027] Here, we will briefly explain the manufacturing method of the pick body 10.

[0028] The pick body 10 is cut out from a 0.5 mm thick stainless steel plate in a roughly rounded triangular shape, and a notched groove 16 is formed between the plucking edge 14 and the gripping edge 15 on the inside by laser processing. In other words, the notched groove 16 is laser processed along the inner circumference of the plucking edge 14 and the outer circumference of the gripping edge 15.

[0029] Afterward, the edges of the pick body 10 and the area around the notched groove 16 are mechanically polished to remove burrs and other debris. In this case, the polishing method involves rotary barrel polishing, in which the pick body 10 is rotated together with small stones, to give the pick body 10 a mirror finish.

[0030] Therefore, in this embodiment, the flicking piece 14 along the edge of the roughly rounded triangular pick body 10 and the gripping piece 15 inside the flicking piece 14 separate the two pieces 14 and 15. Ended band The discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16 is integrally connected to the first corner 11 of the three corners of the pick body 10. In this way, when the plucking portion 14 and the gripping portion 15 are integrally connected by the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16, the amount of flexibility of the plucking portion 14 increases starting from the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16 located near the first corner 11.

[0031] Therefore, when the gripping positions of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 on the gripping piece 15 are brought closer to the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16, the flex of the plucking piece 14 increases, resulting in a flexible tone and functioning as a soft pick. On the other hand, when the gripping positions of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 on the gripping piece 15 are moved away from the discontinuous portion 17 so as to cover a wide area of ​​the notched groove 16, the flex of the plucking piece 14 decreases, resulting in a hard tone that takes advantage of the hardness of the material itself and functioning as a hard pick. Furthermore, when the gripping positions of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 on the gripping piece 15 are set to an intermediate position so as to slightly cover the notched groove 16 near the discontinuous portion 17, the flex of the plucking piece 14 becomes moderate, resulting in a normal tone and functioning as a middle pick.

[0032] This eliminates the hassle of changing picks during a performance, allowing you to easily adapt to hard, medium, and soft strings simply by changing the grip position of your thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 using just one pick.

[0033] Furthermore, since the discontinuous portion 17 of the notch groove 16 is located at the base of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 that grip the gripping piece 15 from both sides, it becomes easier to press the discontinuous portion 17 of the notch groove 16 with the base of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2, and it becomes easier to adjust the bending width of the flicking piece 14 starting from the discontinuous portion 17.

[0034] Furthermore, since the pick body 10 is made of a metal such as stainless steel, its durability can be dramatically improved compared to resin or tortoiseshell materials. In addition, the configuration in which the plucking portion 14 and the gripping portion 15 are integrally connected via the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16 effectively provides sufficient flexibility to the rigidity of the material.

[0035] Furthermore, at the discontinuous portion 17 between the plucking position (third corner 13) and the separated position (near the first corner 11) of the plucking piece 14, it is possible to change the length of the notched groove 16 depending on how the fingertips of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 hold the instrument. This allows for changing the degree of flexibility of the plucking piece 14 even during performance, enabling the expression of tonal flexibility over a wide range.

[0036] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and encompasses various other modifications. For example, in the above embodiment, both the front and back surfaces of the gripping piece 15 are formed as flat surfaces, but as shown in the first modified example in Figure 3, anti-slip holes 22, 22, ... may be provided in the gripping piece 21 of the pick body 20 of the pick 2. In this modified example, both ends of the notched groove 23 are not chamfered in a substantially semi-circular shape, but are instead cut out in a straight line.

[0037] In this first modified example, each of the 11 holes 22, approximately 1 mm to 3 mm in size, is formed in a circular shape. Even if the fingers become sweaty during playing, an anti-slip effect can be achieved with an inexpensive configuration that simply involves drilling multiple holes 22, 22, ... in the gripping piece 21.

[0038] Furthermore, the number of holes 22, 22, ... in the gripping piece 21 of the first modified example is not limited to 11, but any number may be provided. Moreover, the shape of each hole is not limited to a perfect circle, but may be elliptical, polygonal, or formed by combining holes of different sizes and shapes.

[0039] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the gripping piece 15 was formed to be substantially similar in shape to the pick body 10, but as shown in the second modified example in Figure 4, a gripping piece 31 may be provided that is shaped like three superimposed rhombuses with their tips pointing towards the first to third corners 11 to 13, respectively. In this modified example, the inner surface of the notched groove 32 is formed to conform to the shape of the gripping piece 31. In this case, the gripping piece 31 adds originality to the pick body 30, making it possible to claim it as one's own unique pick 3.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the discontinuous portion 17 of the notch groove 16 was positioned near the first corner portion 11, which is at a distance from the plucking position where the guitar string is plucked by the plucking piece portion 14. However, as shown in the third modified example in Figure 5, the end band-shaped notch groove 46, which extends discontinuously between the inner circumferential surface of the plucking piece portion 44 along the edge of the pick body 40 of the pick 4 and the outer circumferential surface of the gripping piece portion 45 inside the plucking piece portion 44, may be divided into two longitudinal sections, a first notch groove 461 and a second notch groove 462. These two discontinuous portions 471 and 472 may be positioned near the first corner portion 41 and the second corner portion 42, respectively, which are at a distance from the plucking position of the plucking piece portion 44 and are close to each other. In this case, the pick body 40 is formed from a thin metal plate such as stainless steel, which has a thickness of 0.5 mm and is in the shape of a roughly rounded triangle, and the distance (length) of the second notch groove 462 from the two discontinuous portions 471 and 472 to the third corner portion 43 (the plucking position of the plucking piece portion 44) is set to be approximately the same.

[0041] In this third modification, the notch groove 46 is divided longitudinally into a first notch groove 461 and a second notch groove 462 by two discontinuous sections 471 and 472, thus shortening the length of the notch groove 46. As a result, although the flex width of the plucking portion 44 starting from the two discontinuous sections 471 and 472 of the notch groove 46 is smaller than that of a single discontinuous section, it is possible to change the flex width of the plucking portion 44 according to the gripping position of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 on the gripping portion 45, and thus it functions as a pick for soft, hard, and medium picks. This eliminates the hassle of changing picks in the middle of a performance, and allows one pick 4 to be easily adapted to hard, medium, and soft picks simply by changing the gripping position of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2.

[0042] Furthermore, at the discontinuous portions 471 and 472 between the plucking position (third corner 43) and the separated positions (near the first corner 41 and second corner 42) of the plucking portion 44, it is possible to change the length of the long second notch groove 462 depending on how the fingertips of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 hold the instrument. This makes it possible to change the degree of flexibility of the plucking portion 44 even during playing, thereby expressing flexibility in tone over a wide range.

[0043] Furthermore, in the third modified example, the distance of the second notch groove 462 from the two discontinuous portions 471 and 472 to the plucking position of the plucking piece 14 is set to be almost the same. As a result, the flex width of the plucking piece 44 starting from the two discontinuous portions 471 and 472 at both ends of the second notch groove 462 is the same. Therefore, even if the front and back sides of the pick body 40 are reversed, the gripping positions of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 on the gripping piece 45 remain unchanged regardless of which of the two discontinuous portions 471 and 472 of the notch groove 46 is used, making it possible to perform the same type of playing.

[0044] Furthermore, as shown in the fourth modified example in Figure 6, the end band-shaped notched groove 56, which extends discontinuously along the inner circumferential surface of the flicking piece 54 along the edge of the pick body 50 of the pick 5 and the outer circumferential surface of the gripping piece 55 inside the flicking piece 54, may be divided longitudinally into a first notched groove 561 and a second notched groove 562. The distance (length) of the second notched groove 562 from the third corner 53 (the flicking position of the flicking piece 54) to the third corner 53 may be longer than the distance from the first discontinuous portion 571. In this case, the pick body 50 is formed from a thin metal sheet, such as stainless steel, which is approximately a triangular shape with rounded corners and has a thickness of 0.5 mm.

[0045] In this fourth modification, the distance (length) of the second notch groove 562 from the two first and second discontinuous portions 571 and 572 to the third corner portion 53 is made longer from the first discontinuous portion 571 than from the second discontinuous portion 572. As a result, although the amount of flex of the plucking portion 54 starting from the two discontinuous portions 571 and 572 of the notch groove 56 is reduced, by changing the gripping position of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 relative to the two discontinuous portions 571 and 572 of the second notch groove 562, it becomes possible to play in a way that is adaptable to slightly different flexible or hard timbres.

[0046] Furthermore, as shown in the fifth modified example in Figure 7, the width (length in the shorter direction) of the end band-shaped notch groove 66, which extends discontinuously along the inner circumferential surface of the flicking piece 64 along the edge of the pick body 60 of the pick 6 and the outer circumferential surface of the gripping piece 65 inside the flicking piece 64, may be set to be narrow, approximately one-third of the width of the flicking piece 64, and the discontinuous portion 67 of the notch groove 66 may be positioned near the first corner 61, which is spaced apart from the flicking position (third corner 63) of the flicking piece 64. In this case, the pick body 60 is formed from a thin metal plate such as stainless steel in a roughly rounded triangular shape with a thickness of 0.5 mm, and the gripping piece 65 is formed in a shape approximately similar to that of the pick body 60.

[0047] In this fifth modification, a nearly circular hole 68 is provided in the discontinuous portion 67 of the notch groove 66, allowing the pick 6 to be easily carried or used as an accessory by passing a string or the like (not shown) through this hole 68. Moreover, by setting the width of the notch groove 66 to be narrower, the amount of flexibility of the plucking portion 64 starting from the discontinuous portion 67 of the notch groove 66 is slightly reduced, but it enables playing with a slightly harder tone.

[0048] Furthermore, as shown in the sixth modified example in Figure 8, the end-shaped notched groove 76, which extends discontinuously between the inner surface of the flicking piece 74 along the edge of the pick body 70 of the pick 7 and the outer surface of the gripping piece 75 inside the flicking piece 74, may be divided into two longitudinal sections: a first notched groove 761 and a second notched groove 762. These two discontinuous sections, 771 and 772, may be positioned near the first and second corners 71 and 72, respectively, and the shapes of the first notched groove 761 and the second notched groove 762 may be significantly different. In this case, the pick body 70 is formed from a thin metal sheet, such as stainless steel, with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a roughly rounded triangular shape, and the gripping piece 75 is formed in a shape that roughly resembles an M shape by the first notched groove 761 and the second notched groove 762, which have significantly different shapes from each other.

[0049] In this sixth modified example, the notched groove 76 is divided longitudinally into a first notched groove 761 and a second notched groove 762 by first and second discontinuous portions 771 and 772, thus shortening the length of the notched groove 76. However, the two discontinuous portions 771 and 772 are close together, and the roughly triangular first notched groove 761 located between the first corner portion 71 and the second corner portion 72 is short, while the second notched groove 762 is formed to be long along the gripping piece portion 75 which resembles an M shape.

[0050] Therefore, in the sixth modified example, the flex width of the plucking portion 74 starting from the two discontinuous portions 771 and 772 of the second notch groove 762 is comparable to that of a single discontinuous portion, and the flex width of the plucking portion 74 can be changed according to the gripping position of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 on the gripping portion 75, thus having the functionality of a soft pick, a hard pick, and a medium pick. This eliminates the hassle of changing picks in the middle of a performance, and allows for easy adaptation to hard, medium, and soft picks simply by changing the gripping position of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 with a single pick 7.

[0051] Moreover, in the sixth modification, the gripping piece 73, which is formed in a shape that closely resembles an M, adds originality to the pick body 70, allowing it to be presented as one's own unique pick 7.

[0052] Furthermore, as shown in the seventh modified example in Figure 9, a notched groove 86 with an end band extending discontinuously along the inner surface of the flicking piece 84 along the edge of the pick body 80 of the pick 8 and the outer surface of the gripping piece 85 inside the flicking piece 84 may be formed such that the gripping piece 85 is a substantially rectangular shape different from that of the pick body 80, by positioning the discontinuous portion 87 near the first corner 81 of the first corner 81 to the third corner 83 and slightly separating it from the third corner 83. In this case, the pick body 80 is formed from a thin metal sheet such as stainless steel in a substantially rounded rectangular shape with a thickness of 0.5 mm.

[0053] In this seventh modification, a nearly circular hole 88 is provided in the discontinuous portion 87 of the notched groove 86, and it is possible to make the pick 8 easier to carry by passing a string or the like (not shown) through this hole 88, or to use it as an accessory. In addition, in this seventh modification, a nearly circular hole 89 for anti-slip purposes is provided in the gripping piece 85 of the pick body 80. This hole 89 is made to be approximately the same size as the hole 88 in the discontinuous portion 87, and even if the fingers become sweaty during playing, an anti-slip effect can be achieved with an inexpensive configuration that only requires making a nearly circular hole 89 in the gripping piece 85.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above embodiments and their respective modifications, the pick bodies 10 to 80 were formed from thin metal sheets such as stainless steel, which have a thickness of 0.5 mm and are in a roughly rounded triangular shape. However, the pick bodies may also be formed from thin metal sheets such as steel, or from thin sheets of resin or tortoiseshell.

[0055] Furthermore, in the above embodiments and their respective modifications, the thickness of the pick body 10 to 80 was set to 0.5 mm, but the thickness of the pick body is not particularly limited as long as it is within the range of approximately 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0056] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16 located near the first corner 11 was positioned on the base side of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 that grip the gripping piece 15. However, in each modified example, if the playing does not require much flexibility of the plucking piece starting from the discontinuous portion of the notched groove, the base side of the thumb and index finger that grip the gripping piece may be located at the second or third corner. Also, in the above embodiment, the guitar string was plucked with the third corner 13 when the discontinuous portion 17 of the notched groove 16 was located on the base side of the thumb Y1 and index finger Y2 that grip the gripping piece 15. However, in each modified example, the guitar string may be plucked with any of the first to third corners depending on the base side of the thumb and index finger that grip the gripping piece, and the guitar string may also be plucked between adjacent corners.

[0057] Furthermore, while the above embodiments and their modifications describe the use of roughly rounded triangular pick bodies 10 to 80 having three corners 11, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81 to 13, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, the pick body does not need to be triangular in shape. It may be a roughly circular plate-shaped pick body, a teardrop-shaped plate-shaped pick body with one corner, or a plate-shaped pick body with four or more corners.

[0058] Furthermore, although the above embodiments and their respective modifications describe picks 1 to 8 for plucking guitar strings, they may also be applied to picks for plucking the strings of basses, mandolins, banjos, and other instruments. [Explanation of symbols]
