Abstract
A sound bar has a striking surface. The sound bar includes: a surface layer having a first surface constituting at least a part of the striking surface and a second surface opposite across a thickness of the surface layer from the first surface; and a base fixed to the second surface of the surface layer. A cutout surface is provided on a peripheral edge portion of the striking surface. The first surface of the surface layer is smaller than the base in a plan view.

A sound bar having a striking surface, the sound bar comprising:
- a surface layer having a first surface constituting at least a part of the striking surface and a second surface opposite across a thickness of the surface layer from the first surface;
- and
- a base fixed to the second surface of the surface layer,
- wherein a cutout surface is provided on a peripheral edge portion of the striking surface, and
- wherein the first surface of the surface layer is smaller than the base in a plan view.
A percussion instrument comprising:
- a plurality of sound bars, each of the plurality of sound bars comprising:
- a surface layer having a first surface constituting at least a part of a striking surface and a second surface opposite across a thickness of the surface layer from the first surface;
- and
- a base fixed to the second surface of the surface layer,
- wherein a cutout surface is provided on a peripheral edge portion of the striking surface, and
- wherein the first surface of the surface layer is smaller than the base in a plan view,
- wherein the striking surface of each of the plurality of sound bars is elongated, and
- wherein the surface layers of all of the plurality of sound bars are made of the same material as each other.
A percussion instrument comprising:
- a plurality of sound bars, each of the plurality of sound bars comprising:
- a surface layer having a first surface constituting at least a part of a striking surface and a second surface opposite across a thickness of the surface layer from the first surface;
- and
