Electric stringed musical instrument and method of designing the same

摘要

An electric stringed musical instrument including: a string which vibrates by a performance operation; a body which supports the string via a bridge; a pickup sensor mounted on a portion which vibrates by a vibration of the string, the pickup sensor being configured to detect a vibration having propagated from the string and output an electric signal; and a supporter having a spring structure which supports the bridge with respect to the body to bring a vibration characteristic of the electric stringed musical instrument closer to a vibration characteristic of one acoustic stringed musical instrument.

1. An electric stringed musical instrument designed to mimic a vibration characteristic of a desired acoustic stringed musical instrument, the electron stringed musical instrument comprising:
a bridge; a body for supporting a string via the bridge, the body having no soundbox; a pickup detecting a vibration which has propagated from the string and outputting an electric signal as a function thereof; and a support having a spring structure which supports the bridge with respect to the body to bring a vibration characteristic of the electric stringed musical instrument closer to a vibration characteristic of the desired acoustic stringed musical instrument; wherein:
the vibration characteristic of the electrical stringed musical instrument has a single peak;the vibration characteristic of the desired acoustic musical instrument has first and second peaks, the frequency of the second peak being higher than the frequency of the first peak, the two peaks appearing due to (i) a top board of a sound box of the desired acoustic stringed musical instrument and (ii) air around a sound hole of the desired acoustic stringed musical instrument and in the sound box of the desired acoustic stringed musical instrument; andthe support is configured to function such that the frequency of the single peak of the vibration characteristic of the electrical stringed musical instrument is brought closer to the frequency of the second peak of the desired acoustic stringed musical instrument when compared with the case where the supporter is not used.
