The quijongo is a type of musical bow used by the indigenous peoples of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In some countries, such as El Salvador, it is known as the carimba. It was probably used by the indigenous Chorotega people of Nicoya. It consists of a bow measuring 140cm in length, made of flexible wood with a string (generally metal) stretched between its ends. At a point a third of the way between its ends, a jicara or calabaza gourd is affixed to serve as a resonator. Sound is created by striking the string with a stick, and the tone can be modulated by covering and uncovering the soundhole in the resonator with the fingers, changing the tone by a fourth or sixth. Occasionally, it is amplified by placing the base of the bow on a separate box. == References == *(Quijongo at Encarta ) *(Instrumentos musicales originados en la época Colonial ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「quijongo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
