Description

The invention relates to a tenor trombone.

State of the art

In the present invention and in the prior art, a tenor trombone is understood to mean a slide trombone in which a so-called trombone hand pull, which is also referred to as a pull or hand pull, extends the air column in the instrument by pushing it out. Depending on the wavelength, lower tones can be produced when the trumpet handle is pulled out than in the 1st position of the trumpet handle. The positions of the trumpet handle are also known as positions. The train usually consists of an inner and an outer cable. The inner cable has two tubes connected by a crosspiece, with a mouthpiece placed on one tube. The outer cable, which consists of two tubes, which are connected in a U-shape via a semicircular pipe bend, is pushed onto the inner cable. To play, move the outer slide back and forth on the inner slide.

Prior art tenor trombones are most commonly tuned in Bb. This also applies to so-called B / C tenor trombones, which have a valve and a valve bow in addition to the trombone hand slide. Like every brass instrument, a B / F tenor trombone has a "series of natural tones" that the trombonist can blow by changing the lips (tension), tongue and breathing with the slide closed (e.g. in the 1st position).

The individual pipe lengths of the basic length are removed by means of a cord in the middle of the straight pipes and bends. For tuning, it is possible to extend the basic length of the instrument by pulling the main tuning slide by means of a main tuning slide. The basic length is 296 cm, for example. The length of the tube can be changed beyond the basic length of the tenor trombone using the trombone handle. For the trumpet pull, for example, there are usually seven pull positions (positions) known for a fifth in semitone steps, between which the trumpet pull can be continuously shifted.

The B / F tenor trombones are available with a quart valve. The valve is a rotary valve (cylinder valve) with a valve body that can be rotated by 90 ° and through which two pipe channels run. When the rotary valve is actuated (e.g. pushed) from the non-actuated position into the actuated position, the valve body rotates and directs the air flow in such a way that a valve arc is switched on. When the valve bend is switched on, the air column of the tenor trombone is lengthened and the tone jumps a fourth lower. The valve bend of the fourth valve also has its own valve tuning slide.

As an alternative to the B / F tenor trombone, a B / C tenor trombone with a second valve is known. This is also known as the second trombone. The second trombone is a C trombone tuned a whole tone higher with a shortened hand slide. The second trombone is lengthened by a "whole tone" to Bb tuning via the valve that is constantly switched on. When the valve is operated, the valve arc is switched off and the instrument is set to C tuning. In the train position 1 the C, and on train position 2 the H etc.

From the EP 3 410 428 A1 a B / F tenor trombone for children is known. The Bb / F tenor trombone comprises a bell and a slide consisting of an inner slide and an outer slide that is movable on it. The total length of the bell and the slide has a total pipe length. In the 1st layer, the train has a pipe length of less than 150 cm. The bell has a tube length of more than 125 cm. The sonic part comprises a 360 ° pipe bend that has two straight parallel sections and two semicircular pipe bends connected to it and that creates the B-tuning. In addition, a valve bow is formed on the quart valve. After switching the quart valve into the actuated position, the circumferential pipe bend of the bell is also connected to the valve bend (F tuning).

Furthermore are from the publications DE 88 00 539 U1 and CN 209029093 U a trombone case or a trombone case known.

The object of the present invention is to provide a tenor trombone in Bb tuning that can be dismantled into the shortest possible pieces for transport.

• 4th a three-dimensional view of an embodiment of a trombone case.

In 1 Figure 3 is a three-dimensional view of an embodiment of a tenor trombone 1 shown schematically in B tuning. A trumpet pull is shown 110 . From two inner tubes 114 and 115 an inner slide of the trombone handle 110 only the ends can be seen that come from two outer tubes 111 , 112 an outer slide of the trumpet handle 110 stick out. In the first inner tube 114 is in the pipe opening 116 a mouthpiece (not shown) can be inserted. The outer slide of the trumpet handle 110 points at its free end of the train 117 one the two outer tubes 111 , 112 connecting bow 113 on. The draw arch 113 is approximately semicircular. The free end of the train 117 is through the outermost part of the draw arch 113 Are defined. In addition, the free end of the train 117 another parquet protector or the like protrude.

The outer slide of the trumpet handle 110 is by the musician on the inner slide of the trombone handle 110 slidingly movable. The outer slide is in different positions P1 , P2 , P3 , P4 , P5 , in the 1 are shown schematically, moved. The positions P1 , P2 , P3 , P4 , P5 of the trumpet handle 110 are also referred to as layers. The positions shown P1 , P2 , P3 , P4 , P5 may differ slightly from the actual positions. In the embodiment of 1 the outer slide is in the first position P1 shown. In the first position P1 is the outer slide of the trumpet handle 110 completely retracted. Trombonists name the first position P1 also the 1 . Train.

In the embodiment of 1 instructs the tenor trombone 1 a bell 140 with a valve 120 on. The valve 120 switches to the tube length of the tenor trombone 1 in permanent normal position a second valve arc 122 to, so that the B-tuning results. The secondary valve arch 122 has a valve tuning slide 121 the tuning of the instrument. The sound part 140 also has a tuning slide 130 on.

At the end of a funnel-shaped section of the sound part 140 is a so-called bell 150 arranged. The bell 150 points at its free bell end 157 a bell rim 151 on. Usually is at the height of this bell rim 151 the 3rd position for the outer slide of the trumpet handle 110 .

In an in 1 illustrated embodiment is the bell 150 from the sound part 140 designed to be removable. For example, have bells 150 and sound part 140 an internal thread and an external thread for screwing. Alternatively, there are other connections between bells 150 and sound part 140 possible. In 1 is an embodiment with a screw connection 154 shown. Alternatively it is possible to have a bell 150 and bell 140 are not removable, for example molded in one piece.

In 1 is in one embodiment the tuning slide 130 on the sound section 140 arranged. The trumpet pull 110 is there with the bell 150 via sound part 140 and valve 120 and tuning slide 130 connected.

In the embodiment of 1 is the trumpet pull 110 significantly shortened compared to a conventional trombone. In order to obtain the pipe length required for the B tuning, in one embodiment in FIG 1 the sound part 140 in the area of the vocal arc 130 around two pieces of pipe 131 , 132 extended. The two pieces of pipe 131 , 132 can for example be designed very simply as separate tubes, which by means of trains with the bell 140 and the voice bow 130 are connected. Alternatively, it is possible that the two pipe pieces 131 , 132 as part of the bell 140 or the vocal arc 130 are trained. For example, the two are pieces of pipe 131 , 132 with bell 140 or vocal sheet 130 molded in one piece.

In an in 1 The illustrated embodiment is due to the shortening of the trumpet handle 110 in the first position P1 the distance d between the edge of the bell 151 and the free end of the train 117 less than 30 cm. This allows a short trumpet stroke 110 can be achieved so that the tenor trombone 1 in relatively short individual parts 110 130 , 140 , 150 can be dismantled and stowed away in a correspondingly compact manner. For example, it is possible that in the exemplary embodiment in FIG 1 shown tenor trombone 1 to be carried in the aircraft hand luggage. Because of the relatively short trumpet handle 110 the outer slide is only in five positions P1 to P5 movable. Nevertheless, the valve bend is included 122 the tenor trombone 1 Playable over a sufficiently wide range.

In the embodiment of 1 is a tenor trombone 1 with a second valve 120 shown. This in 1 illustrated valve 120 is designed as a rotary valve. The positions X , Y of the secondary valve 120 are in the 2 and 3 shown as an example. At the second valve 120 is in the permanent normal position X of the secondary valve 120 - shown in 2 - the secondary valve bend 122 switches on to B tuning. In the actuated position Y - shown in 3 - on the other hand becomes the secondary valve arc 122 through the secondary valve 120 bridged, so that there is a big jump from B-tuning to C-tuning. However, the invention is not limited to the in 1 shown valve 120 limited, but other types of valves, such as pressure valves, multi-way valves, etc. can also be used.

In 4th is an embodiment with a trombone case 2 shown schematically in three-dimensional view. Is shown in 4th also a tenor trombone in disassembled condition with a trombone hand slide 110 and a valve 120 and a voice bow 130 and a bell 140 and a bell 150 . There is a recording area for each piece of the tenor trombone 210 , 220 , 230 , 240 intended. Accordingly, in 4th also a set of tenor trombone 1 and trombone case 2 shown.

In the embodiment of 4th is a trombone case 2 shown with the lid open. The trombone case 2 has a first molded receiving area 210 and a second receiving area 220 to accommodate a trumpet handle in a cross arrangement 110 and a sound part 140 the tenor trombone 1 . The first recording area 210 and the second receiving area 220 are in one embodiment of 4th created by recesses in a solid material, for example plastic or foam. The recesses are lined with fabric, for example.

In the embodiment of 4th is also a third recording area 230 for recording a tuning slide 130 and a fourth recording area 240 to hold a bell 150 the tenor trombone 1 . In the in 4th illustrated embodiment is the bell 150 in the lid of the trombone case 2 fixable, with an associated recess of the fourth receiving area opposite 240 is trained.
