PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a musical instrument capable of enhancing an acoustic effect by detecting vibration of a vibrating member with high quality.SOLUTION: A musical instrument 100 includes pieces 102L, 102H for supporting one end of a string and a sound-board 104 for transmitting vibration of a string by the pieces, and then first sensors 106L, 106H for detecting vibration of the pieces, converting the vibration to an electric signal, and outputting the signal, and a second sensor 108 for detecting vibration of the sound-board 104, converting the vibration to an electric signal, and outputting the signal. By providing a piece for picking up vibration of a string, namely a vibration source of a musical instrument 100 and the sound-board 104 for allowing the vibration of the piece to ring as sound with the sensor 108, acoustic output to a music genre and a performance site (performance place) is obtained.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】振動部材の振動を高品位に検出し、音響効果を高めることのできる楽器を提供する。【解決手段】弦の一端を支える駒１０２Ｌ、１０２Ｈと、駒により弦の振動が伝達される響板１０４とを備え、駒の振動を検出し電気信号に変換して出力する第１のセンサ１０６Ｌ、１０６Ｈと、響板１０４の振動を検出し電気信号に変換して出力する第２のセンサ１０８とを有する。楽器１００の震動源である弦の振動を拾う駒と、駒の振動を音響として響かせる響板１０４とにセンサ、１０８を設けることで、音楽ジャンルや演奏場所（演奏会場）に合わせた音響出力を得る。【選択図】図１
