Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A board for a stringed instrument which forms a front plate or a back plate of a stringed instrument, includes: a veneer that includes a concave portion for partially reducing the thickness of the veneer, in which the veneer is curved to be convex toward one surface side. In this board for a stringed instrument, fiber of the veneer may extend along the curved shape of the veneer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A board for a stringed instrument which forms a front plate or a back plate of a stringed instrument, the board comprising: a veneer that includes a concave portion for partially reducing the thickness of the veneer; and a plate that is laminated on the veneer and covers the concave portion, wherein the veneer is curved to be convex toward one surface side. 2. The board for a stringed instrument according to claim 1 , wherein fiber of the veneer extends along the curved shape of the veneer. 3. The board for a stringed instrument according to claim 1 , wherein a decorative sheet is laminated on one surface or both surfaces of the veneer by an adhesive. 4. A method of manufacturing a board for a stringed instrument which forms a front plate or a back plate of a stringed instrument, the method comprising: a process of forming a concave portion on a veneer so as to partially reduce the thickness of the veneer; a process of laminating a plate on the veneer so as to cover the concave portion; and a process of curving the veneer to be convex toward one surface side. 5. The method of manufacturing a board for a stringed instrument according to claim 4 , further comprising: a laminating process of laminating a decorative sheet on one surface or both surfaces of the veneer by an adhesive, wherein the process of curving the veneer to be convex toward one surface side is performed after the laminating process. 6. A stringed instrument comprising: the board for a stringed instrument according to claim 1 .
