Description

Straight tube high pitch saxophone mute

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of wind instruments, in particular to a straight-tube high-pitch saxophone mute.

Background

The mute is an auxiliary device of the musical instrument, and is mainly used for preventing music from disturbing the citizen. At present, two types of mute applied to the saxophone are provided, one type of mute is in a bowl-shaped structure with a small hole in the middle, and the mute is not good when being placed at a horn mouth of the saxophone in use, and the maximum degree of sound reduction is 20 to 25 percent; the other is to wrap the saxophone in its entirety, which is only applied to the bend saxophone, but not yet applied to the saxophone.

For example, the utility model CN200720152946.5 discloses a mute for saxophone, which comprises a box body, wherein, the box body is provided with two-hand sound-proof gloves, the two-hand sound-proof gloves are provided with two-hand inlets and outlets, the box body is provided with an electronic module box, and the box body is provided with a saxophone neck outlet; the saxophone is required to be completely wrapped in the box body when in use, and only sound with slight volume can be heard outside the box body when in playing, so that an electronic module box is required to be matched for use, and the electronic module box is used for converting the sound and outputting the converted sound through an earphone; although the technical scheme can achieve a good mute effect, the use is inconvenient.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present invention provides a straight-tube high-pitch saxophone mute, which comprises a sleeve 1 for being sleeved in a main tube of the saxophone, wherein a sound transmission hole corresponding to a sound hole of the saxophone is formed on a side wall of the sleeve 1, the sound transmission hole is coaxial with the corresponding sound hole, and the aperture of each sound transmission hole does not exceed the aperture of the corresponding sound hole.

Due to the arrangement of the sound transmission holes, the air flow entering the main pipe through the sound holes needs to be guided and limited through the sound transmission holes, so that the energy of the air flow is weakened, the resonance effect of the air flow and the main pipe is reduced, and the mute effect is achieved; the noise reduction effect of the straight-tube high-pitch saxophone mute provided by the invention can reach 60-65% of the sound volume when the mute is not used; the straight-tube high-pitch saxophone mute provided by the invention has good performance tone quality and is convenient to install, good exercise equipment is provided for saxophone enthusiasts, and the straight-tube high-pitch saxophone mute can be used in both households and dormitories.

In one embodiment, the sleeve 1 is provided with a first sound transmitting hole corresponding to the sound hole of the treble portion of the main tube, a second sound transmitting hole corresponding to the sound hole of the midrange portion of the main tube, and a third sound transmitting hole corresponding to the sound hole of the bass portion of the main tube; the apertures of the first sound transmission hole, the second sound transmission hole and the third sound transmission hole are respectively smaller than the apertures of the corresponding sound holes.

In one embodiment, the sleeve 1 is in the shape of a trumpet that conforms to the shape of the main tube of the saxophone.

In one embodiment, the sleeve 1 is provided with a fourth sound-transmitting aperture for restricting and guiding the air flow through the overtone key-hole of the saxophone and the first sound-hole below the overtone key-hole; when the sleeve 1 is applied to a straight pipe high-pitch saxophone with a key of falling b, the first sound hole is a sound hole of falling b; the fourth tone holes are the overtone key tone holes 2 and the downb tone holes 3 in fig. 1. The aperture of the fourth sound transmission hole is approximately the same as the aperture of the corresponding sound hole.

In one embodiment, the aperture of the first sound transmission hole is two thirds of the aperture of the corresponding sound hole; the aperture of the second sound transmission hole is half of the aperture of the corresponding sound hole; the aperture of the third sound transmission hole is three fifths of the aperture of the corresponding sound hole.

In one embodiment, the sleeve 1 is connected with a bell mouth plugging piece 5 for plugging the bell mouth of the saxophone, and the bell mouth plugging piece 5 is connected to the tail end of the sleeve 1; the center of the bell mouth plugging piece 5 is provided with a fifth sound transmission hole 7.

In one embodiment, the bell mouth plugging piece 5 is a revolving body structure, and a revolving generatrix on the upper surface of the bell mouth plugging piece is a broken line or an arc line; the longitudinal section of the bell-mouth closure 5 is meandering in order to guide and restrict the air flow through the bell-mouth closure 5 and finally out of the sleeve 1 from the fifth sound transmission opening 7, further reducing the loudness and frequency of the sound produced by the saxophone.

In one embodiment, the diameter a of the fifth sound transmission hole 7 is 14 mm, which not only allows air flow to pass through, but also has good sound attenuation effect and small influence on playing resistance.

In one embodiment, the upper and/or lower end of the sleeve 1 is provided with a seal in contact with the inner wall of the saxophone, the seal being used to connect, fasten and seal with the saxophone; under the condition of having the sealing piece, the air current generated during playing enters the sound transmission hole from the sound hole, so that the resonance with the main pipe of the saxophone is avoided.

In one embodiment, the seal is made of silicone, felt or cork; the seal prevents the mute from falling and shifting during use.

In one embodiment, the seal comprises a first seal 4 provided at the upper end of the sleeve 1; the first seal 4 is cylindrical and is disposed around the small opening at the upper end of the sleeve 1.

In one embodiment the seal comprises a second seal 6 provided at the lower end of the sleeve 1, the second seal 6 being provided around the lower edge of the sleeve 1 and being provided with a flange turned towards the inside of the sleeve 1.

In one embodiment, the straight tube high pitch saxophone mute is made of a metal material, such as an aluminum alloy, a copper alloy, so as to retain the tone of the saxophone to some extent.

The straight-tube high-pitch saxophone mute provided by the invention can be used for straight-tube saxophones (mainly high-pitch saxophones with b-tone down).

Although the invention has been described in detail hereinabove with respect to a general description and specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements can be made thereto based on the invention. Accordingly, such modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope of the invention as claimed.
