ABSTRACT:
A string instrument of the invention is capable of producing a stable amount of sounds from a low sound region to a high sound region. A vibration mode is measured when the frequency of a basic vibration of strings becomes equal to that of a basic frequency of a top plate, and two stiffeners of predetermined lengths are attached on the rear surface of a top plate along two nodal lines appearing on the top plate in that vibration mode. The stiflenets do not affect in a low sound region but causes the vibration mode to change in a high sound region, thereby making it possible to produce increased amounts of sounds in every sound region, particularly that on E-line which has been thought to be difficult for a conventional violin to produce.
