Abstract

See full text

Provided is a percussion instrument capable of enhancing the expressiveness of performance. A struck surface plate that vibrates to produce a musical sound when struck is disposed on a case, and a sound emission hole is formed to penetrate the struck surface plate. A musical signal is generated by a sound source device according to detection results of percussion sensors that detect the vibration caused by the striking on the struck surface plate. A sounding body produces an electronic musical sound based on the musical signal generated by the sound source device. Because the sounding body is disposed in the case, the musical sound produced by the vibration of the case and the electronic musical sound can be produced from the one case. Accordingly, the expressiveness of the performance using the percussion instrument can be enhanced.
