A resonance signal generating method includes generating a first resonance signal of a first pitch circulating through first loop processing by inputting a first excitation signal to the first loop processing including first delay that delays the signal by a time corresponding to the first pitch and first attenuation that attenuates the signal, the first pitch being a pitch having a resonance frequency of a predetermined speaking length of a piano, generating a second resonance signal of a second pitch circulating through second loop processing by inputting a second excitation signal to the second loop processing including second delay that delays the signal by a time corresponding to the second pitch and second attenuation that attenuates the signal, the second pitch not being a pitch having a resonance frequency of any of speaking lengths of the piano or a pitch of a harmonic thereof but being higher than the first pitch, and outputting the first resonance signal circulating through the first loop processing and the second resonance signal circulating through the second loop processing.

A resonance sound signal generation device comprises a designation receiver that receives designation of a pitch, a sound signal instructor that provides an instruction for generating a sound signal corresponding to the designated pitch, a producer that produces a resonance sound signal representing a resonance sound based on a plurality of pitches, a determiner that determines whether another pitch is designated at a time of designation of one pitch, and a resonance sound instructor that instructs the producer to produce a resonance sound signal of the one pitch and a resonance sound signal of the another pitch based on the one pitch and the another pitch when determination is made that the another pitch is designated at the time of designation of the one pitch, and does not instruct the producer to produce resonance sound signals when determination is made that the another pitch is not designated at the time of designation of the one pitch.

A stringed instrument pickup and feedback system, comprising a sound pickup device disposed on a string instrument. The sound pickup device comprises a transducer and at least one pickup, a sound processing circuit and a power supply. The pickup activates the transducer to realize resonance enhancement on the instrument body. The transducer is disposed on the string instrument unrestricted by internal bracing. The instrument can be any of pickup, guitar, ukulele, violin, Guqin, Guzheng and Mandolin. The present invention enables the construction of stringed instrument to add vibration and amplify sound of a stringed instrument using the transducer and thus reduce the dependence on rare woods in manufacturing these instruments.
