Abstract:
The musical instrument includes: a pickup that acquires an electric sound signal corresponding to a sound performed on the musical instrument; effector circuitry that imparts an effect to the acquired electric sound signal; a vibrator that produces mechanical vibration corresponding to the effect-imparted sound signal; and a transmission device that transmits the mechanical vibration, produced by the vibrator, to the body of the musical instrument with a characteristic having a fundamental frequency region of the musical instrument suppressed. The electric sound signal corresponding to the performed sound is imparted with an effect, the vibrator is driven by the effect-imparted sound signal, and a mechanical vibration sound is generated from the body of the musical instrument. The thus-generated mechanical vibration sound is audibly generated from the body as a vibration sound additional to the performed sound, which allows a user to experience a performance feeling that has never existed before.

Claim (Index 15):
The method as claimed in  claim 9 , which further comprises:\n imparting, via a second effector circuitry, an effect to the electric sound signal acquired by the pickup; and producing, via a second vibrator mounted to the body of the musical instrument, mechanical vibration corresponding to the sound signal imparted with the effect by the second effector circuitry.
