Bow (musical instrument)

The bow means an appliance to rub a string with a rubbed string instrument in music.

I usually put horse tail hair on the wooden pole and use it. By a musical instrument, there is various length to (the length of the pole) of a little less than 1 meter of the Japanese Chinese fiddle with the long thing from around 10 centimeters with the short thing. In addition, there are gut, hemp thread, the thing using the hemp palm hair other than horse tail hair, too.

When it is in the musical instrument of the modern violin family, I am made with a tree and I hand hair of the rattail to the both ends and form with the tension, but form of the tree is not a C-shape such as the bows of the weapons and curves to reverse like Σ character. Italian Corelli improved hair before it became the current style to strongly form, and improvement was added more in Tartini, the 19th century by French トゥールト and was completed.

In materials of the wood, ブラジルボク (with フェルナンブコ フェルナンビーコ ペルナンビーコ) is used for a high quality bow. But the high quality wood is said in late years to show a slight drying up, and in late years CFRP bows made are increasing.

There are many things having a shape having C-shaped older musical instrument and bow of the rubbed string instrument except the West.

The bow of the Chinese fiddle which is a sum musical instrument is very long and there is much quantity of the hair and forms gently again. The pole of the bow bends to reverse a little. This depended on improvement of early musician Kengyo Yatsuhashi in the Edo era, and became longer afterwards. I strongly put a little wool before the improvement by Yabase briefly. I use such a bow in the Chinese fiddle to use in a folk song now.

I rub the string of the musical instrument with a part of the hair of the rattail, but paint with pine resin because frictional force is short only with hair.

In addition, not a stringed instrument, there is the music to rub a saw and a nail with a bow, and to play.

In addition, the musical bow is a kind of stringed instrument making a sound itself.
