ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PLAYING A STRUMMED STRINGED MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

The invention concerns an assembly for automatically playing a strummed stringed musical instrument, comprising: - a strummed stringed musical instrument, comprising: • a resonance box (4), one face of this resonance box being formed by a soundboard (6); ・strings, tensioned above the soundboard; • first (12) and second (14) locations on the soundboard, for receiving a mechanical bridge; - a device for automatically playing the instrument, comprising: an electronic bridge (34) positioned in place of the mechanical bridge, said electronic bridge comprising at least one first actuator (50), capable of being deformed in response to a control signal; The first actuator is placed on the soundboard, in the first location, in physical contact with said soundboard only in this first location, so as to transmit, to the resonance box, mechanical excitations generated by the deformation of this first actuator.
