Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/068339
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a string instrument in the violin family, capable of versatile use as an acoustic or electric instrument, wherein the string instrument in the violin family comprises: a soundboard comprising an upper plate and a lower plate placed with maintaining an interval, and side plates encompassing the edges of the upper plate and the lower plate; a neck portion extended from the soundboard to one side, of which the end comprises a head; one or more strings fixed between the soundboard and the head; and a piezo pickup which can convert the vibration of the strings into electricity, thereby amplifying sound. The piezo pickup is buried in the place where the lower plate of the soundboard comes in contact with the lower end of a soundpost, so as to be fixed with a pressure plate, and then the soundpost is stood on the pressure plate. The pressure and vibration generated in the strings pass through the upper plate of the soundboard through a bridge and go down the soundpost to be transmitted to the pressure plate, thereby causing a piezoelectric effect of the piezo pickup buried in the lower plate of the soundboard along with generating the acoustic sound of the lower plate of the soundboard.
