Keywords: creation. string music. ethnic diversity Introduction This research is oriented to the development of the creation of musical instruments in producing new concepts based on local whisdom in North Sumatra. This research is also based on the curiosity about the phenomenon of the diversity of concepts and organological structures of some traditional stringed musical instruments, such as those owned by Pakpak ethnicity. Karo ethnicity. Toba Batak ethnicity and ethnic Malays in North Sumatra and are now being eliminated by instrument products other stringed music from various parts of the Based on literature studies on several previous studies such as: . research on Batoan L Sitepu . on organological studies of Pakpak, . research on Beri Pana S . on Organology Studies Kulcapi Karo, . Jakri Octora T . on organology studies Gambus Melayu, . Gideon Simaremare . research on organological studies of Toba Batak The results of the study show data on the diversity of organological structures in the form of instruments, game techniques, and the relevance of the functionalities of each instrument which has very diverse characteristics. Furthermore, based on the resume of the KDBK research team from the results of previous research, there are important issues to be addressed immediately. These issues include: . the patterns of making stringed music are mostly still carried out in very Budapest International Research and Critics Institute-Journal (BIRCI-Journa. Volume I. No 4.

Its functionality is still very limited. Less developed and less interested in the traditional musical instruments by the respective community groups and the wider community. Musical instruments of this tradition are still unable to compete with stringed musical instruments from other countries. In addition, based on the FGD which was conducted by a team of lecturers with traditional music artists, music academics and students about the existence of traditional stringed musical instruments in North Sumatra, several important issues were found to be These problems include the fact that there is an attitude of ignorance between traditional artists and music academics in North Sumatra to develop the diversity of traditional musical instruments to be able to compete with other popular and popular musical instrument products in almost all parts of the country. Based on the temporary findings in the field, that at present almost most music artists and the general public in North Sumatra are more fond of using modern stringed music products imported from abroad. If conditions like this are allowed to drag on, then in the end the traditional stringed musical instruments possessed by North Sumatra become extinct and even become extinct, replaced by other stringed instruments which do not breathe ethnic culture in the archipelago that deserves to be preserved and preserved as a wealth from Maha Karya - Maha by ethnic ancestors in North Sumatera. Based on the initial resume of the results of previous studies and the results of the lecturer team discussions with various parties, it can be identified the things that need to be followed up to be corrected immediately, namely: 1. It is important to study the concept of organology in the diversity of traditional string music in North Sumatra to be explored more deeply as knowledge to be developed in creating musical instrument products that are more innovative and more flexible, both in form and function. This effort is also specifically intended to be able to develop and discover new concepts in the field of music creation based on local whisdom in North Sumatra in the interests of continuing ethnic music learning and for the benefit of the wider community. II. Methodology The approach uses in this study is a qualitative approach. The process of tracking data and information is done diachronically to find out in a complete and complete manner the diversity of traditional stringed musical instruments in North Sumatra. Data collected comes from two sources, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data is obtained through in-depth interview techniques and participant observation aimed at collecting data followed by focus group discussions. Other features are video cameras, photos and audio visual recorders that are very useful in documenting data. The selection of informants is based on grouping key informants that include artists making, users, experts and academics of basic music. The number of informants is not limited as long as the data needed is still needed to answer the objectives of this study. Secondary data is obtained from relevant agencies and related organizations, such as documents about the existence of traditional stringed instruments and so on.

The number of strings used by the string are nine strands consisting of metal strings and nylon Tone area There are similarities in the use of the tone area between kulcapi and khucapi which both use the pentatonic tone region Tone area The tone of the area played on the kulcapi instrument is in the tonic tone region (Major and Mino. The tone area played on the hasapi instrument is in the pentatonic region (Major and mino. The tone area played on the khucapi instrument is in the region of tonic penta The tone area played in gambus instruments is in the region of the Arabes tones including . ayati, nahwan, sika, hijaz and other. 2 Formulation of the Concept of Creation in the Form of Stringed Musical Instruments Based on Ethnic Diversity in North Sumatera Based on the results of the analysis of the similarities and differences of each of the traditional musical instrument consumptions, a North Sumatra ethnic diversity based instrument model can be formulated by adopting the method and collaborating elements of the equation and exploring existing differences into new concepts. By adopting, collaborating and exploring these elements with the aim of not eliminating the overall characteristics of each of these instruments, it was created the consequence of creating the stringed musical instrument model as follows. Head section By considering bringing back the diversity of patterns that each traditional instrument has, then adopting existing forms by collaborating and exploring elements of the head part in the kulcapi, hasapi and khucapi instruments becomes a new concept, namely by making the shape of the head of the instrument is round opal shaped and has 4 tuning stemers in an effort to present the diversity of characters and expand the tone area in one instrument. Neck section Budapest International Research and Critics Institute-Journal (BIRCI-Journa. Volume I. No 4. December 2018. Page: 124-135 e-ISSN: 2615-3076(Onlin. , p-ISSN: 2615-1715(Prin. bircu-journal. com/index. php/birci emails: birci. journal@gmail. org@gmail. In formulating of instrumentAos concept of neck part on the research team conducted exploration to unify the concept of each instrument, namely by presenting a number of existing concepts. For example, it presents five tone space barriers at the top of the neck and at the bottom empties the tone space barrier. This effort to still be able to bring back the characteristics of each tradition. By continuing to collaborate the elements that exist then the neck of the instrument has increased the size of the width to be twice the width of the neck of the previous instrument to accommodate the 4 string consents in expanding the tone area both pentatonic and diatonic. Instrument body parts At the front, the same thing is done, which is still adopting the existing elements and exploring the addition of ornaments to beautify the shape of the front body. Taking into account the sound quality produced, the research team still uses the old concept, namely by presenting a resonator cover on the front of the instrument body. The closure of this resonator was explored by presenting cultural symbols from each ethnic group that were diadobsi, namely the symbol of ethnicity Karo. Malay. Toba Batok and Pakpak in certain Resonator hole The resonator hole will be located on the back and still follow the old pattern and added three resonator holes that are not too large in the front as an attempt to expand the sound of the instrument. Tail section The tail section is functionally still an instrument part that can be supported on the player's But aesthetically the tail must have the beauty of its shape. In this case the tail section is conceptualized in a form that is derived from the diversity of the motifs of the traditional artisan which are related in a form that has aesthetic value. Strings / strings In the draft concept of the North Sumatra ethnic diversity based stringed musical instrument using four strings / strings of metal and strings of synthetic nylon material. The reason for using four strings is to be able to expand the range of playing in the tone area and still be able to present melodic characters from each of the related ethnicities. Tone area By using the four strings / strings of the tone area it will clearly be wider covering the area of the related tradition, both diatonic tones and pentatonic tones. Each string will be 1 cm apart, the interval between strings 1 and 2 is tert, the distance between string 2 and string three is tert, the distance between strings 3 and 4 is kwin. This is adjusted to the interval interval arrangement in kulcapi . win string interval distanc. accommodated on strings 4 and 5, khucapi . ers string interval interva. is accommodated on strings 3 and 2, and hasapi distance . ersar string interva. is accommodated on strings 2 and 1 Thus, playing the tone area will become wider and can be more participative in developing patterns of melodic forms.

Sketch of a form of stringed musical instruments based on ethnic diversity in North Sumatera 3 Instrument Making Process After reviewing, analyzing and formulating the conceptual form of the instrument the research team carried out several stages including: - Preparing equipment and raw materials to be used on the basis of the formula for the creation of stringed musical instruments. The equipment used includes: measuring instruments . , wood cutting machines, wood smoothers, wood holes, and some chisels to form wood. The raw material used is the type of mahogany or tualang wood, this type of wood has good quality in sound production and is easy to form according to the formulated consequences. - After the equipment and raw materials are available, the process of making stringed musical instruments begins to be carried out step by step to produce the desired form according to the requirements. The steps are as follows: Forming images on wooden blocks The beam formation process becomes the basic form of the instrument The perforation process in the resonator section The process of making the front resonator cover The process of forming the head according to the motive. The process of forming the tail according to the motif The process of smoothing all parts of the instrument The process of mounting ears or tuning the stem in the head The process of mounting the tone on the top of the instrument neck. The second stage of refining process for certain parts The process of installing strings / strings. The process of testing and evaluating the sound of instruments Revision process for incompatibility. The process of giving traditional ornamental motifs to the instrument. Finishing process. IV. Conclusion Based on the findings of analysis, the formulation of instrumentAos form can be concluded in two ways: Budapest International Research and Critics Institute-Journal (BIRCI-Journa. Volume I. No 4. December 2018. Page: 124-135 e-ISSN: 2615-3076(Onlin. , p-ISSN: 2615-1715(Prin. bircu-journal. com/index. php/birci emails: birci. journal@gmail. org@gmail. Formulate the structure instrument, namely: - Taking into account the findings of similarities and differences of instrument-related organological concepts, the conceptual instrument form can be constructed by adopting and developing existing equations, and exploring differences into a single unit in the structure of new stringed musical instruments. - In formulating the concept of instrumentAos form was associated with several traditional ornamental motifs (Karo. Melayu. Toba Batak and PakPa. to add to the aesthetic value of instrument. Formulate the range of the instrument tone area, namely: - Taking into account the tone area of the related traditional instrument which has differences, then an extension of the tone area is formulated by adopting all the differences to remain present in the new instrument. In this case four strings of string / string are used which can represent the entire tone area of the related instrument. The interval pattern of the tone is set on each string based on the distance pattern. - Kulcapi Karo on strings 4 and 3, which is spaced kwin . entatonic tone are. - Khucapi Pakpak on strings 3 and 2 is a distance pattern ters . entatonic tone are. - Hasapi Toba on strings 2 and 1, namely the distance pattern . iatonic tone regio. - To present the Arabes scale pattern as the tone area of the Gambus instrument, it will be done by adjusting the interval interval of 1,2,3,4 based on the tone area in question.
