Abstract
A musical instrument includes: a vibrating member configured to be vibrated by a playing operation; an adjusting mechanism configured to perform physical adjustment to change a vibration manner of the vibrating member in playing; a detector configured to detect an adjustment state of the adjusting mechanism; a musical-sound generator configured to generate musical sound based on the playing operation; and a controller configured to control a manner of generation of the musical sound by the musical-sound generator, based on the adjustment state detected by the detector.
Claims8
A musical instrument comprising:
- a supporting body;
- a vibrating member supported by the supporting body and configured to be vibrated by a playing operation;
- an adjusting mechanism configured to perform physical adjustment to change a vibration manner of the vibrating member,
- wherein the adjusting mechanism includes an adjustment operating member that is changeable in position to adjust a degree of tension of the vibrating member and change the vibration manner of the vibrating member;
- a detector configured to detect an adjustment state of the adjusting mechanism;
- a musical-sound generator configured to generate musical sound based on the playing operation;
- and
- a controller configured to control a manner of generation of the musical sound by the musical-sound generator, based on the adjustment state detected by the detector.
