Music is a tool that enriches our lives. Recorded electronic sound sources can be listened to on a daily basis due to the development of CDs and portable music players. However, listening to live music requires a performer, and there are few opportunities to listen to live music compared to electronic sound sources. As a method of listening to live music unattended, automatic performance devices such as music boxes have existed in the past. However, most automatic performances are often limited to playing melodies. Percussion instrument automatic performance devices require high-speed movement when playing drums, and it is difficult to create the speed at which the drums are struck. Therefore, percussion instrument automatic performance devices are limited to those that are relatively easy to produce sound, such as keyboard percussion instruments. Has been done. Therefore, in this research, instead of using a large drum as in the past, we used a pipe drum that uses a vinyl chloride pipe that has a relatively small diameter and is easy to produce sound, and whose pitch can be changed by the length of the pipe. Develop an automatic performance device for Tubulum.
