Countdown - Behind Closed Doors

GRIF (German Griff, lit. - handle, grab) - detail of a number of muses. tools. 1) The stringed bow and plucked instruments have a long narrow plate made of hardwood (usually black) or plastic, which is glued to the neck and over which the strings are stretched. During the game to G. in decomp. in its places the fingers of the left hand press the strings, changing the length of their vibrating part, and therefore the pitch of the sound. Many instruments, especially plucked ones, have fixed or embedded nut-frets on G. Nar Instruments, as a rule, are made without G., their strings are pressed directly to the neck. There are also false G., for example. at sovr. Bulgarian fortunetellers, where the game is used with flageolets. 2) At electronic muses. tools contact strip or tape to which the artist touches with his fingers and, by changing the voltage of the electric. currentextracts sounds of various heights. 3) The harmonica (button accordion, accordion) has a part of the body on which the keyboard of the right hand is attached (the name is conditional, since the specified part does not actually perform G. functions).
