ABSTRACT:
An electronic rubbed-string instrument of a type which generates musical tones in response to rubbing operation of operation member across an instrument body or string in a similar way to a violin and a viola. When a part of instrument body is rubbed with an operating member, characteristics (e.g., tone color characteristics, pitch characteristics) of a musical tone to be generated are controlled in response to a speed of the operating member. Further, the characteristics of the musical tone are controlled in response to pressure applied to a part of the instrument body with the operating member. Furthermore, the characteristics of the musical tone are controlled in response to a direction in which the bow is moved across the strings.
