An electric double-bass is broken down into a trunk, a detachable framework assembled with the trunk, coupling units provided between the trunk and the detachable framework, accessory parts, strings stretched over the trunk and an electric sound generating system for generating electric tones like acoustic tones of a double-bass, and any resonator is formed in the electric double-bass, wherein a string player disassembles the detachable framework from the trunk for storing the electric double-bass in a case, thereby enhancing the portability of the electric double-bass.
An electric violin , electric viola cello and double-bass are members of the violin family, and the violin family is essential musical instruments of an orchestra. A standard cello is of the order of 120 centimeters, and is twice longer than a standard violin. The standard cello is four times wider than the standard violin. The double-bass is of the order of 2 meters long, and is almost twice as long as the cello. The compass of a stringed musical instrument is dependent on the length of the string, the specific gravity of the string and the tension exerted on the string. The longer the string is, the lower the pitched part is. For this reason, the compass of the cello is lower than that of the violin, and is higher than that of the double-bass.
An electric cello embodying the present invention largely comprises a trunk, a detachable framework, coupling units, strings, accessory parts and a sound generating system. A standard acoustic cello is smaller in size than the standard acoustic double-bass. Although the electric cello is different in dimensions from the electric double-bass, the electric cello is similar in structure to the electric double-bass. In this instance, the electric cello is as long as the acoustic cello, and the strings are shared between the electric cello and the acoustic cello. For this reason, the electric cello is not shown in the drawings. However, there are several differences between the electric cello and the electric double-bass 20 .
The detachable frameworks according to the present invention are appreciated for the large-sized bowed stringed musical instruments of the violin family. However, the detachable framework is available for other members of the electric violin family such as an electric violin and an electric viola. The detachable framework permits a string player to carry the electric violin or the electric violas in a small case. Thus, the detachable framework is desirable for the other members of the electric violin family. source:news a-violin
