Abstract

Apparatus for facilitating correct tone generation in stringed instruments, comprising at least one of the elements:
a) handle adapter having a thumb spreader member securable between an index finger and a proximal member of a thumb and fixing the thumb in a splayed position such that a distal member of the thumb remains movable;
b) a bow adapter securable to a frog of a bow of the bowed instrument for guiding a bow and having at least one finger trough formed to impart a desired posture to an associated hand in guiding the bow;
c) Bar indicator which can be fixed to a forearm and by which a movement of the forearm beyond a horizontal position can be signaled.

Description

area:

The Regular sound generation on the string instrument essentially follows from two components together, namely on the one hand from the correct oscillation frequency, which in the practice of music as clean intoned height of the sound is called, and on the other hand from that to his musical usability of disturbing Noises liberated sound of the sound. The height of the sound is determined by the position of the fingers of the left hand on the Fingerboard intended. The sound of the sound is created at the contact point of string and bow, which from the player's right hand over the string is led. This depends on the desired Soundproofing of the sound both from the straight knit in the Right angle to the string running direction of the bow stroke, as well as of the sensitive differentiation in the course of a every bow stroke changing pressure conditions between the individual fingers of the right hand, the bow and the string from.

at all other common musical instruments are all sounds available to the respective instrument at least already in their correct height and can be retrieved immediately in any order. apart of the brass and pipe instruments is in the rest the common instruments even the noiseless Quality of sound already exists and by mere Plucking, striking or blowing even for an untrained Player immediately available. The fact that the strings his both arms, hands and every 10 fingers, each one in a specific, different from the other fingers Function must be used solely to produce the sound, before practicing the music as such at all On the one hand, this is the reason for the Neurology found that no other activity can affect brain development in childhood so favorably like learning a stringed instrument, but also the reason that only a negligible Share of our population in this activity daring, and of these in turn the largest Part of it known sooner or later must give up again without success. To z. B. the required pitch for the sounds of the piano which can be called up by keys to generate, is the professionalism of an additional Training as a piano tuner required. The strings must, apart from his musical competence, this technical professionalism in generating each individual tone. The required, for the eye is not identifiable, sometimes with precision of hundredths of a millimeter operating cooperation of both hands for one and the same purpose, namely the birth of the sound on the string instrument, leads to a demonstrably optimal Crosslinking of the two hemispheres of the brain, taking place the connecting beam significantly increases them and scholastic achievement even in subjects such as math improve significantly. These, about the musical practice far-reaching benefits currently remain for those sections of the population reserved by a consistent, persistent and expert Parental support this for the beginner completely unmanageable requirements in the Gradually learn how to handle sound production.

• – Herausforderungen für die linke obere Extremität des Spielers bei der Erzeugung der Tonhöhe: Um den erforderlichen Druck zu erzeugen, den die Finger der linken Hand beim Abgreifen der Tonhöhe auf die Saiten auszuüben haben, nimmt der Anfänger gewöhnlich den von der Rückseite gegenhaltenden Daumen zu Hilfe, welcher durch diese Beanspruchung bei der untrainierten Hand eines Anfängers in überstreckter Richtung einknickt, was den gesamten Bewegungsspielraum zwischen Hand, Griffbrett und Fingern enorm einengt und den Daumen als flexiblen Drehpunkt für das, den typischen Reiz des Streicherklanges ausmachende Vibrato unbrauchbar macht. Durch Ermüdung kommt es ferner oft zum Absinken des linken Arms und zum Abknicken seines Handgelenks und damit zum Kippen der auf den Saiten aufsetzenden Finger, womit die Beweglichkeit der gesamten Hand in einem Maße eingeschränkt ist, dass auch die, für die saubere Tonhöhe erforderliche millimetergenaue Platzierung der Finger nicht mehr möglich ist. Die Folge sind die als „Katzenmusik" bekannten „schrägen" Töne der Anfänger.
• – Herausforderungen für die rechte obere Extremität des Spielers bei der Erzeugung des Klangs: Zur Vermeidung von unerwünschten Geräuschen bei der Bogenstrichführung und der Erzeugung eines Klangs von musikalisch verwendbarer Qualität, ist ein hochsensibles, weit flexibleres Zusammenspiel der Finger der rechten Hand erforderlich als z. B. bei der Führung eines Stiftes beim Schreiben. In jedem Augenblick der Strichführung sind die unterschiedlichen, ständig wechselnden Druckverhältnisse zwischen Bogen und Saiten im Sinne des Stick-Slip-Effektes zu dosieren und zu differenzieren. Durch die Rauheit und Klebrigkeit des mit Pferdehaar bespannten und mit Kolophonium – ein klebriges Baumharzprodukt – behandelten Streichbogens, haftet beim Streichen die Saite am Bogen (Stick) und wird mit der Streichbewegung mitgezogen, dadurch wird die Saite gespannt. Sobald die zunehmende Spannung der Saite stärker ist als die Haftung, löst sich die Saite und schnellt zurück (Slip). Der durch das Spannen entstandene Knick in der Saite bewegt sich nun regelmäßig zwischen den Enden der schwingenden Saite hin und her und erzeugt dadurch den Ton. Dieser Vorgang gleicht prinzipiell dem beim Anzupfen der Saite. Beim Streichen wird er aber durch den ständig vorbeistreichenden Streichbogen sofort wiederholt, wenn die Saite zurückgeschnellt ist, bis zu mehrere hundert Mal pro Sekunde, dadurch entsteht ein andauernder Ton. Der beim Anstreichen, d. h. beim In-Schwingung-Versetzen der Saite erforderliche Druck, würde im nächsten Augenblick die bereits schwingende Saite wiederum bremsen und den Klang ersticken, weswegen der Druck, sobald die Saite schwingt, in einer ihrer Schwingung sowie der Strichgeschwindigkeit angepassten Weise wieder zurückgenommen werden muss. Beim Umkehren der Strichrichtung muss der auf der Saite liegende Bogen anhalten, um sich danach in die entgegen gesetzte Richtung zu bewegen. Nur eine in Bruchteilen von Sekunden auf hundertstel von Millimetern genau auf einander abgestimmte Kooperation sämtlicher Finger der rechten Hand kann hier vermeiden, dass in diesem Moment auch die Schwingung der Saite zum Stillstand kommt und der Ton abbricht. Der Bogen darf in diesem Augenblick den Kontakt zur Saite nicht ganz verlieren, um nicht beim wieder Auftreffen auf die Saite ihre Schwingung zu unterbrechen. Er darf aber gleichzeitig auch nicht den allermindesten Druck mehr auf sie ausüben, sondern muss sozusagen auf ihrer Schwingung „schwimmen", d. h. er muss zulassen, dass die Vibration der Saite ihn in der Größenordnung von Nanometern auf ihr springen lässt. Sobald er, nach seinem Stillstand, sich in die andere Richtung zu bewegen beginnt, muss sein Druck sukzessive in einer Weise zunehmen, die erlaubt in die noch durch den vorherigen Strich vorhandene Schwingung der Saite so einzutauchen, dass diese Schwingung nicht gebremst, sondern sukzessive aufgegriffen und schließlich erneut verstärkt wird. Für den jeweiligen Finger stellen hierbei folgende Herausforderungen: [Eingeschobene Anmerkung zur räumlichen Orientierung in der Beschreibung: Im Folgenden wird in diesem Text zur Beschreibungen des Bogens und seiner Handhabung die Spitze des Bogens als sein „vorderes" Ende, die Schraube an dem als Frosch bekannten Griff als sein „hinteres" Ende bezeichnet. Die von der Bogenstange abgewendete Fläche der horizontal verlaufenden Bogenhaare wird als nach „unten" weisen betrachtet, die den Bogenhaaren abgekehrte Seite der Bogenstange als nach „oben" weisend.]
• – Der Kleine Finger hat den in jedem Augenblick der Strichführung sich ändernden Hebel des gesamten Bogens auszubalancieren, wozu er mit seiner Kuppe auf dem hinteren Ende der runden Bogenstange aufsetzen muss um dieses Ende, mal stärker, mal schwächer, je nach der jeweiligen Länge des Hebels, hinunterzudrücken. Die Spitze des kleinen Fingers hierbei auf der Rundung der Bogenstange zu halten ohne abzurutschen ist für den Anfänger nicht möglich, weshalb er sich angewöhnt das Ende der Bogenstange mit dem kleinen Finger zu umgreifen und so auf die sensible Austachierung des Hebels und damit auf einen wesentlichen Teil der geräusch-vermeidenden Geschmeidigkeit in der Bogenführung zu verzichten.
• – Der Daumen hat den Drehpunkt für den Hebel zu bilden in dem er mit seiner Spitze an der leicht gerundeten Ecke des vorderen oberen Teils des Frosches, d. h. des Bogengriffs, den Bogen von unten gegen hält. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass auch hier für den Anfänger gar nichts anderes möglich ist, als dass Fingerspitze und Gerätecke gegeneinander abrutschen, ist das lang anhaltende Aufsetzen der Daumenspitze auf der Ecke für den Anfänger schmerzhaft und führt auf die Dauer beim Könner zu einer gewissen Hornhautbildung. Die der Daumenkuppe entgegenstehende Wölbung an dieser Stelle erfüllt beim Fortgeschrittenen Spiel den Zweck, dass die Daumenspitze durch stärkeres oder schwächeres Krümmen des letzten Daumengelenks um diese Rundung, flacher oder steiler auf ihr auftreffend, sozusagen ein wenig herumrollen kann, wodurch der Neigungswinkel des Bogens zum Spieler und der Winkel der Verkantung der Bogenhaare zur Saite und damit die Klangfarbe verändert wird.
• – Der Zeigefinger hat, bei dem perfekt ausbalancierten Bogenhebel des Könners, den in jedem Augenblick der Strichführung unterschiedlichen Druck des Bogens auf die Saiten im Sinne des Stick-Slip-Effektes zu dosieren und zu differenzieren. Um den hierzu erforderlichen Kontakt insbesondere des Zeigefingers mit der Bogenstange zu verbessern, wird üblicherweise ein dünnes Leder oder Kunststoffstück vor dem Frosch an der Bogenstange angebracht; die hierdurch erreichte Verbesserung der Griffigkeit des Bogens ist äußerst gering.
• – Ring- und Mittelfinger haben die Funktion der Richtungsführung des Bogens sowohl bezüglich des Neigungswinkels der Fläche der Bogenhaare zum Spieler, als auch bezüglich der Richtung des Strichverlaufes. Sie liegen dabei üblicherweise an der glatten Außenseite des Frosches an, was für ihre Funktion kein Hindernis bedeutet aber auch keine nennenswerte Hilfe bietet. In den meisten Fällen kommt es jedoch durch das beschriebene Abrutschen von Daumen und kleinem Finger zum differenzierten Einsatz der weiteren Finger, im Dienste der geschilderten subtilen Schwingungsverhältnisse zwischen Bogen und Saite, gar nicht mehr. Die Art in welcher der Bogen in der Hand liegt gleicht dann eher einem Schlagstock als einem Schreibstift. Eine flexible Führung ist nicht mehr möglich, was zum Leidwesen aller Mitbewohner zu den so bekannten Kratz- und Quietschtönen der Anfänger führt. Diese unbefriedigende Klangerzeugung versucht der bemühte Schüler bekanntermaßen dadurch zu kompensieren, dass er durch Heben des rechten Ellenbogens, sowie das versteifen des Handgelenks, bestrebt ist den Druck des Bogens auf die Saiten zu erhöhen, wodurch die zur Geräuschvermeidung erforderliche geradlinige Strichführung des Bogens und damit auch das Klangergebnis noch zusätzlich beeinträchtigt wird. Nur ein entspannter Arm und ein in beiden Richtungen bis zu seinem Anschlag sich flexibel biegendes Handgelenk, – mit dem dadurch sich im Verlaufe des so genannten Aufstrich von fallend zu steigend und im Verlaufe des so genannten Abstrich von steigend zu fallen verändernden Neigungswinkel des Unterarms –, machen den geschilderten individuellen Einsatz eines jeden Fingers im Dienste der Strichführung möglich.

The known difficulties to be mastered by the teacher, the student and the supporting parent consist of the following components:

• - Challenges for the left upper extremity of the player in creating the pitch: In order to generate the required pressure which the fingers of the left hand have to exert on picking up the pitch on the strings, the beginner usually takes the back of the thumb which, due to this stress, buckles in an overstretched direction in the untrained hand of a beginner, which enormously restricts the entire range of motion between the hand, fingerboard and fingers and makes the thumb unusable as a flexible fulcrum for the vibrato, which is the typical attraction of the string sound. Fatigue also often causes the left arm to fall and the wrist to bend, causing the fingers on the strings to tip over, limiting the mobility of the entire hand to such an extent that the millimeter-perfect placement required for the clean pitch the finger is no longer possible. The result is the "weird" sounds of beginners known as "cat music".
• - Challenges for the right upper extremity of the player in the generation of the sound: To avoid unwanted noise in the bow stroke and the generation of a sound of musically useful quality, a highly sensitive, much more flexible interaction of the fingers of the right hand is required as z. B. in the leadership of a pen when writing. At every moment of stroke, the different, constantly changing pressure conditions between the bow and strings in terms of the stick-slip effect are to be dosed and differentiated. Due to the roughness and stickiness of the covered with horse hair and with rosin - a sticky resin product - treated bow, sticks when stringing the string on the bow (stick) and is pulled along with the stroking movement, this is the string ge stressed. As soon as the increasing tension of the string is stronger than the adhesion, the string detaches and snaps back (slip). The tension caused by the bend in the string now moves regularly between the ends of the vibrating string and thus produces the sound. This process is basically the same as plucking the string. When swiping, however, it is immediately repeated by the constantly passing bow, when the string has shot back, up to several hundred times per second, thus creating a lasting tone. In the next moment, the pressure that is required when painting the string, ie when the string is put into vibration, would in turn brake the already vibrating string and stifle the sound, which is why the pressure, as soon as the string vibrates, is adjusted in one of its modes as well as the line speed must be withdrawn. When reversing the stroke direction, the bow on the string must stop to move in the opposite direction. Only a cooperation of all the fingers of the right hand, which is precisely coordinated with each other in fractions of a second to a hundredth of a millimeter, can avoid the moment when the vibration of the string comes to a standstill and the sound breaks off. The bow must not lose contact with the string at this moment, so as not to interrupt its vibration when it hits the string again. At the same time, he must not put more pressure on them, but must, as it were, "swim" on his vibration, ie he must allow the vibration of the string to make him jump on the order of nanometers Standstill, begins to move in the other direction, his pressure must gradually increase in a way that allows to immerse in the still existing by the previous stroke vibration of the string so that this vibration is not slowed down, but successively picked up and finally reinforced again The following challenges are posed for each finger: [Inserted Note on Spatial Orientation in the Description: In what follows, in this text, to describe the bow and its handling, the tip of the bow will be its "front" end, the screw on the frog known grip as its "rear" end The turned surface of the horizontally running bow hairs is considered to be pointing "downwards", the side of the bow bar facing away from the bow hairs being pointing "upwards."]
• - The little finger has to balance the leverage of the entire bow, which changes every moment of the stroke, which he has to put on with his dome on the rear end of the round bow bar around this end, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, depending on the length of the lever to push down. The tip of the little finger here on the curve of the bow bar to hold without slipping off is not possible for the beginner, which is why he gets used to embrace the end of the bow bar with the little finger and so on the sensitive Austachierung of the lever and thus to a substantial part to renounce the noise-avoiding smoothness in bowing.
• - The thumb has to be the pivot point for the lever in which he holds with his point on the slightly rounded corner of the front upper part of the frog, ie the bow handle, the bow from below against. Quite apart from the fact that even here for the beginner, nothing else is possible than that fingertip and equipment corners slide against each other, the long-lasting touchdown of the thumb tip on the corner for the beginner painful and leads in the long run at the expert to a certain cornea formation. The opposite of the thumb tip arch at this point meets the purpose of advanced play the purpose that the thumb tip by stronger or weaker curvature of the last thumb joint to this rounding, flatter or steeper impacting it, so to speak, a little roll around, whereby the angle of inclination of the bow to the player and the angle of the canting of the bow hairs to the string and thus the timbre is changed.
• - With the perfectly balanced bow lever of the expert, the index finger has to dose and differentiate the pressure of the bow on the strings in the sense of the stick-slip effect, which is different at every moment of the stroke. In order to improve the necessary contact in particular of the index finger with the bow bar, a thin leather or plastic piece is usually mounted in front of the frog on the bow bar; The improvement in the grip of the bow achieved by this is extremely low.
• - Ring and middle finger have the function of directional guidance of the arc both in terms of the inclination angle of the surface of the bow hair to the player, as well as with respect to the direction of the stroke course. They are usually on the smooth outside of the frog, which means no obstacle to their function but also provides no significant help. In most cases, however, it comes through the described sliding off of thumb and little finger for differentiated use of the other fingers, in the service of the described subtle Vibration between bow and string, not more. The way in which the bow lies in the hand is more like a baton than a pen. A flexible leadership is no longer possible, which leads to the chagrin of all roommates to the well-known scratching and squeaking sounds of beginners. This unsatisfactory sound production tries the sought-after students known to compensate that he strives by raising the right elbow, and the stiffening of the wrist, to increase the pressure of the bow on the strings, which required to avoid noise straight line stroke of the bow and thus the sound result is additionally impaired. Only a relaxed arm and a flexible wrist flexing in both directions to its stop, with the angle of inclination of the forearm changing as it progresses from falling to rising and falling from rising to falling in the course of the so-called smear. make possible the described individual use of each finger in the service of the strokes.

who not patient, thanks to meticulously corrective private lessons and domestic help in practicing, all involuntarily This is the case here revealed only too well-known frustration and resignation. The initial neglect of compliance with one correct hand, finger and arm position in the sense described leads to posture errors, which later only with considerable Effort or in most cases not at all can be corrected.

Of the Reason why the strings these incomparable difficulties to cope with are the other instruments superior to emotional differentiation

expression of the string instrument: the glissando, the sliding between the notes Thanks to the non-specified pitch on the one hand, and the Modulation between rough and soft, loud and quiet during the course of single tones, thanks to the non-specified sound quality on the other hand. So these are the technical challenges of the streak instrument using this unique spectrum of sensation expression whose subtlety we would otherwise at most to find expression in our voice.

State of the art:

• – Die Erfindung WO0077761 ist eine von verschiedenen Geräten, welche, zur Vermeidung des Einknickens untrainierter Finger in überstreckter Richtung, über die betreffenden Gelenke geschoben werden und den Finger vor und nach dem Gelenk durch ihre Formgebung zur erwünschten Krümmung zwingen. Der Nachteil dieser Geräte ist, dass ein noch untrainierter und daher schwacher Finger in der für ihn ungewohnten Belastungslage reflexartig dort Halt such, wo er ihn findet. Im Falle dieser Gerätes bedeutet dies, dass er unwillkürlich den Strecker (Muskel) und nicht den Beuger, den er kräftigen sollte, aktiviert, denn durch den Strecker schmiegt sich der Finger fester in die das Gelenk und die angrenzenden Fingerbereiche einhüllende Rundung des Gerätes, was das Gefühl von Festigkeit und Sicherheit vermittelt. Ein eigenständiges Aktivieren des Beugers innerhalb der vorgeformten, aufgezwungenen Rundung hätte eine Lockerung des beim Strecken fest sitzenden Gerätes zu Folge, was unwillkürlich das Gefühl von Verunsicherung auslöst und daher reflektorisch vermieden wird. Diese Geräte wenden sich dem Symptom des Einknickens in überstreckter Richtung zu, indem sie dieses von außen mechanisch verhindern; sie behandeln aber nicht die Ursache, nämlich die mangelnde Kraft des Beugers, der zu verstärkter Anspannung stimuliert werden müsste. Ein ähnlicher Zusammenhang findet sich bei der Erfindung US2004123719 . Das Endglied des kleinen Fingers ist hier zur Gänze in unausweichlich steiler Position rundum gehalten. Dadurch ist sein Abrutschen und Einknicken verhindert. Was er dabei nicht ausbildet, ist die eigenständige Differenzierung des Einsatzes seines Streckers und Beugers, auf die er letztendlich doch angewiesen ist, da im Verlauf eines erfolgreichen Strichs der Neigungswinkel auch dieses Glieds nachgeben muss. Abgesehen hiervon ist der kleine Finger bei dieser Erfindung erhöht in einem Abstand zur Bogenstange gehalten, was nicht seiner endgültigen, auf der Bogenstange aufsitzenden Position entspricht und daher auch das Training seinen anderen Gelenke während des Einsatzes der Erfindung nur bedingt der angestrebten Benutzung des Bogens dient.
• – Die Erfindungen US2003131710 , 2003-07-17, und US 6537075 , 2003-03-25, stellen Gerät vor bei denen unter anderem auch die Kraft der Beuger der Finger trainiert wird. Der Nachteil ist hier, dass es sich um ein separates Gerät handelt, welches nicht am Instrument selber beim Üben einsetzbar ist. Es fehlt daher beim Training der Muskeln die Instrumentspezifische Haltung von Hand und Fingern. Dies ist ein nicht zu unterschätzender Nachteil: Da es bei der Handhabung des Streichinstruments auf eine Bewegungsgenauigkeit von Millimeterbruchteilen ankommt, sind die unabhängig vom Instrument trainierten Bewegungsabläufe nur sehr bedingt auf die instrumentale Praxis anwendbar. Auch zu berücksichtigen ist, dass sowohl der instrumental Erfolg als auch die genannten Vorteile für die Gehirnentwicklung nur eintreten bei frühzeitigem Beginn in der Kindheit, dass aber in diesem Alter die Motivation zum „Trocken-Training" an einem für die kindliche Auffassung reizlosen Gerät sehr begrenzt ist.
• – Die auf die Gitarre bezogene Erfindung DE3106966 hält zwar die linke Hand, den Daumen und die Finger in der erforderlichen Weise vom Griffbrett und Instrumentenhals entfernt. Da das den Daumen abspreizende Gerät jedoch fest auf dem Instrumenthals sitzt, dessen Widerstand der Daumen sucht, ist der Daumen des Streichers nach wie vor in Gefahr nun beim Drücken gegen das Gerät, so wie zuvor beim Drücken gegen den Instrumenthals, in der bekannten überstreckten Richtung einzuknicken. Außerdem berücksichtigt dieses Gerät nicht die z. B. beim Cello bereits während dem Krafttraining erforderliche Gewöhnung an den breiten Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Fingern.
• – Die Erfindung US5136911 richtet sich auf die Festlegung des Abstands zwischen den Fingern des Spielers. Die Finger werden hier fest umschlossen durch Ringe in ihrer Lage gehalten. Hierdurch ist aber nicht nur die seitliche den Abstand betreffende Haltung der Finger festgelegt, sondern die beim Streichinstrument unerlässliche, auf das Griffbrett klopfende, hammerartige Auf- und Ab-Bewegung der Finger, welche eine maßgebliche Rolle beim Krafttraining der Finger spielt, wird völlig unterbunden.
• – Erfindungen wie DE3922030 und DE9302670 haben einerseits den bereits genannten Nachteil, dass die Motivation zum „Trocken-Training", ohne Musikinstrument, bei der Hauptzielgruppe des Streichinstrumentunterrichts zu bezweifeln ist. Zum anderen gehen diese Erfindungen das Problem an seinem Endpunkt an, nämlich an dem Ort der Berührung von Fingerkuppe und Saite. Ob der Finger an dieser Stelle die nötige Kraft zum herabdrücken der Saiten ( DE9302670 ) aufweist und dabei auch an dem für die Tonhöhe mit hundertstel Millimeter-Genauigkeit festzulegenden Ort aufzukommen in der Lage ist ( DE3922030 ) hängt jedoch maßgeblich von der Haltung des Handgelenks sowie der Daumengelenke und der durch diese bedingten Lage der gesamten Hand und ihrer Finger ab. Diese Wurzel der sich beim Aufsetzen der Fingerkuppe offenbarenden Haltungsmissstände ist jedoch bei den vorliegenden Erfindungen nicht berücksichtigt.

To remedy the problems of the left hand described inventions of the following type are known:

• - The invention WO0077761 is one of several devices which, in order to avoid the buckling untrained fingers in the overstretched direction, are pushed over the respective joints and force the finger before and after the joint by their shape to the desired curvature. The disadvantage of these devices is that a still untrained and therefore weak finger in the unfamiliar load situation reflexively there stop where he finds it. In the case of this device, this means that he involuntarily activates the extensor (muscle) and not the flexor, which he should strengthen, because through the straightener, the finger nestles more tightly into the rounding of the device, which envelops the joint and the adjacent finger areas conveys the feeling of firmness and security. An independent activation of the flexor within the preformed, imposed rounding would result in a loosening of the device which is firmly seated during stretching, which involuntarily triggers the feeling of uncertainty and is therefore avoided by reflex. These devices address the symptom of buckling in an overstretched direction by mechanically preventing it from the outside; but they do not treat the cause, namely the lack of force of the flexor, which would have to be stimulated to increased tension. A similar relationship can be found in the invention US2004123719 , The end member of the little finger is here completely in an inevitably steep position held all around. This prevents its slipping and buckling. What he does not train here is the independent differentiation of the use of his extensor and flexor, to which he is ultimately dependent, since in the course of a successful stroke of the inclination angle of this member must yield. Apart from this, the small finger is held in this invention increased at a distance to the bow bar, which does not correspond to his final, sitting on the bow bar position and therefore the training of his other joints during the use of the invention only partially serves the intended use of the bow.
• - The invention US2003131710 , 2003-07-17, and US 6537075 , 2003-03-25, introduce devices in which, among other things, the strength of the flexor fingers is trained. The disadvantage here is that it is a separate device that can not be used on the instrument itself when practicing. Therefore, when training the muscles, the instrument-specific posture of hand and fingers is missing. This is a not to be underestimated disadvantage: Since it comes in the handling of the string instrument on a movement accuracy of millimeter fractions, the trained independently of the instrument movements are only very limited to the instruments dental practice applicable. It should also be considered that both the instrumental success and the advantages mentioned for brain development occur only with early onset in childhood, but that at this age very limited the motivation for "dry training" on an unfriendly device for the child is.
• - The invention related to the guitar DE3106966 Keeps the left hand, thumb and fingers as necessary from the fingerboard and instrument neck. However, since the thumb-splaying device sits tightly on the instrument neck whose resistance the thumb is looking for, the thumb of the stringer is still in jeopardy when pressed against the device, as before, when pressed against the instrument neck, in the known overextended direction buckle. In addition, this device does not consider the z. B. the cello already during the weight training required habituation to the wide distance between the individual fingers.
• - The invention US5136911 is aimed at determining the distance between the fingers of the player. The fingers are firmly enclosed by rings held in place. As a result, not only the lateral attitude of the fingers concerning the distance is determined, but the hammer-like up and down movement of the fingers, which plays a decisive role in the strength training of the fingers, which is essential for the string instrument and taps the fingerboard, is completely prevented.
• - inventions like DE3922030 and DE9302670 On the one hand, there is the drawback already mentioned that the motivation for "dry training", without a musical instrument, is to be doubted in the main target group of stringed instrument lessons.On the other hand, these inventions tackle the problem at its end point, namely at the place of touch of the fingertip and Whether the finger at this point the necessary force for pressing down the strings ( DE9302670 ) and also able to pay at the location to be determined for the pitch with hundredth of a millimeter accuracy ( DE3922030 ) depends to a large extent on the position of the wrist and the thumb joints and the condition of the entire hand and their fingers. However, this root of the posture defect that manifests itself upon placement of the fingertip is not taken into account in the present inventions.

• – Für die Erfindungen US5355757 , US4554859 , WO9743752 ist wiederum auch die Frage der Zweckmäßigkeit des „Trocken-Übens" geltend zu machen. Da es sich hier um die Strichführung handelt, welche sich, wie beschrieben, an der Schwingung er Saiten zu orientieren hat, stellt sich nicht nur die Frage der Motivation, sondern es bleibt auch der Zweck einer Strichübung ohne schwingende Saite lediglich auf die Richtung des Strichs beschränkt ohne den weit herausfordernderen Zusammenhang der durch die einzelnen Finger zu beobachtenden Wechselwirkung von Schwingung und Druck zu betreffen.
• – Gemeinsam ist diesen beiden Erfindungen mit Erfindungen wie US2004237751 , DE9217842 , WO8911146 , DE3100676 und DE69005120T , dass sie alle ausschließlich das Endprodukt einer regelgerechten Arm-, Hand und Fingerhaltung fokussieren, nämlich die geradlinige Strichführung. Durch die in diesen Erfindungen geschilderten „Umzäunungen" des Bogens bei der Strichführung kann auch ein, wie ein Schlagstock gehaltener Bogen in einer geradlinigen Bahn gehalten werden. Um eine befriedigende Klanqualität zu erreichen, reicht die geradlinige Bogenführung nicht aus. Einen weit größeren Anteil an ihr haben die differenziert flexiblen Funktionen der einzelnen Finger im Rahmen der geschilderten subtilen Druckverhältnisse. DE8703312 entledigt Hand und Arm ihrer Druckerzeugenden Funktion und drückt den Bogen durch eingesetzte Gewichte auf die Saite, um an der Flexibilität von Hand und Arm zu arbeiten. Eine von der Druckfunktion befreite Hand hat es zwar leichter die geschmeidige Flexibilität der einzelnen Finger und des Handgelenks, sowie den entspannten Arm aufrecht zu halten, lernt aber genau die notwendige Unterscheidung zwischen den, im Rahmen des erforderlichen Drucks, anzuspannenden Muskeln einerseits und den hieran nicht zu beteiligenden, gelöst zu haltenden Muskeln andererseits, nicht. Die Erfahrung hat gezeigt, dass, sobald die eingesetzten Gewichte vom Bogen, aus guten, die fortgeschrittene Bogenbenutzung betreffenden Gründen, wieder entfernt werden, der Schüler den nun ins Leere gehenden Strich mit der Kraft seines Armes zur Tonerzeugung auf die Saite zu drücken versucht, wozu er Handgelenk und Finger versteift und die zuvor erworbene Flexibilität zunächst wider verliert.
• – Gemeinsam ist den bekannten Erfindungen zur Unterstützung des Bogenstrichs, dass sie nur das vom Körper entfernt liegende Endprodukt ins Auge fassen, die Bogenbewegung, während sie die in Arm, Hand und Fingern liegenden Ursachen einer fehlerhaften, bzw. die dort zu veranlagenden Grundlagen einer regelgerechten Bogenführung weder in den Blickpunkt rücken, noch an Ort ihrer Entstehung behandeln.

To remedy the problems of the right hand described inventions of the following type are known:

• - For the inventions US5355757 . US4554859 . WO9743752 Again, the question of the expediency of the "dry practice" is to be asserted.Since this is the stroke, which, as described, has to be based on the vibration of the strings, it is not only the question of motivation, but the purpose of a stroking without a vibrating string is limited to the direction of the stroke without affecting the much more challenging context of the interaction of vibration and pressure to be observed by the individual fingers.
• - Common is these two inventions with inventions such as US2004237751 . DE9217842 . WO8911146 . DE3100676 and DE69005120T in that they all focus exclusively on the end product of a regular arm, hand and finger position, namely the straight-line stroke. The bow-shaped "fencing" described in these inventions can also hold a sheet held like a baton in a straight line have the differentiated flexible functions of the individual fingers in the context of the described subtle pressure conditions. DE8703312 removes the hand and arm of its pressure-generating function and pushes the bow by weights inserted on the string to work on the flexibility of hand and arm. A hand freed from the pressure function, although it is easier to maintain the supple flexibility of the individual fingers and wrist, as well as the relaxed arm, but learns exactly the necessary distinction between the, under the required pressure, to be tense muscles on the one hand and this not On the other hand, it does not. Experience has shown that as soon as the applied weights are removed from the bow for good reasons related to advanced bow use, the student attempts to press the now vacant stroke to the string with the power of his arm to produce sound, including He stiffened his wrist and fingers and initially lost the previously acquired flexibility.
• - Common to the known inventions in support of the bow stroke that they only envisage the end product lying away from the body, the bow movement, while lying in arm, hand and fingers causes a faulty, or to be assessed there basics of a rule Bowing neither in the focus, nor treat it at the place of its creation.

To sum up applies to all here mentioned both the left and the right hand inventions that they all only a very be In the limited area, we can pick out of all the problems posed by the sound instrumentation of the bowed instrument and treat it separately, and thus can not really contribute to the actual improvement of the tone, which continues to be unaffected by all the disregarded factors. It is only in agreement with all the factors described that the sound on the string instrument begins to be musically usable and thus becomes the necessary source of motivation and not a burden for the practitioner. This must also be the reason why one looks in vain for the aforementioned devices in the trade.

Object of the invention:

• – Für die linke Hand und den linken Arm soll dies durch einen am Arm befestigten Griffadapter erreicht werden, welcher – den Arm durch eine Schiene, – den Daumen durch einen ihn abspreizenden Fortsatz und – die Finger durch eine zwischen sie greifende Gabel zur eigenaktiven Einnahme der regelgerechte Haltung bringt.
• – Für die rechte Hand soll dies durch einen am Bogen befestigten Bogenadapter erreicht werden, welcher Finger und Daumen durch körperformgerechte Mulden die regelgerechte Haltung unwillkürlich einnehmen lässt.
• – Für den rechten Arm soll dies durch einen am Unterarm befestigten Strichindikator erreicht werden, welcher den erforderlichen, sich gegenseitig bedingenden Bewegungsverlauf des rechten Handgelenks, Ellenbogens, Unter- und Oberarms zum Ziele der regelgerechten geradlinigen Strichführung anzeigt.

The present invention has the purpose right and left fingers, hands and arms accordingly already from the first lesson in their, the sound generation on the string instrument concerned whole by bringing a corresponding set of devices in the, for proper tone generation necessary to bring cooperative positions.

• - For the left hand and the left arm this is to be achieved by a handle adapter attached to the arm, which - the arm by a rail, - the thumb by a spread-out extension and - the fingers through an intervening fork for self-active taking of the regular attitude brings.
• - For the right hand, this should be achieved by a bow adapter attached to the bow, which leaves the fingers and thumbs by body shape appropriate troughs take the rule-correct posture involuntarily.
• - For the right arm, this should be achieved by a bar indicator attached to the forearm, which indicates the required, mutually conditional course of movement of the right wrist, elbow, lower and upper arm to the goals of regular linear line guidance.

The set according to the invention is intended to allow the pupil with progressive skill and consolidation of the right one Posture of the involved limbs, gradually to the one or the other to be able to dispense with other support and optionally the still required according to the invention Serve supports individually or in various combinations to be able to. The surfaces of the user's limbs the parts of the kit according to the invention are intended to their shaping adapted to the body shape, both through Upholstery as well by smooth surface texture to convey an optimally pleasant touch experience thus promote the innervation of the touching zones.

The Set according to the invention is therefore intended in one embodiment more pronounced supports for beginners offer and in advanced versions by receding or by omitting individual Supports successively allow more freedom of movement. The inventive design of the surface The bow adapter should be one, even the more advanced accompanying offer improved grip, which is why the bow adapter according to the invention as an attachment to the known bow, as well as solid Component of the same should be available.

The Components of the kit according to the invention are intended Furthermore, in their body-forming shaping the light Differences in the angle of inclination of the individual members in the cello playing opposite the violin / viola playing in a cello version as well as in a violin / viola version meticulous take into account and thus the acquisition of the regular attitude optimally serve.

Further should all instrument-specific versions also by size specific versions of the different Body size correspond to their users. The set according to the invention is intended by the choice of Material sufficient stability and breaking strength provide at normal load and at the same time the user so little weight as much as possible with additional weight. It should also by the material used easily from welding residues to be clean.

The Set according to the invention is also the economic The circumstances of its users can, as his designs both in upholstered as being produced in a less costly unpadded form can be.

The on hand and arm to be fastened parts of the invention Sets should be easy to use buckles, Velcro closures or elastic textile bands easily applied by children and can be taken off.

Nature of the invention:

The Set according to the invention consists of a handle adapter for the left hand, a bow adapter for the right hand and a dash indicator for the right arm, the use of only individual elements of the set for the Beginner is worthless, since the regular sound on the string instrument only through the entirety of those described in the paragraph "Territory" Movements, can be generated.

Handle adapter:

Of the Handle adapter is used to avoid wrong posture of the left Arms, the left hand and her fingers and thus to avoid tapping wrong, d. H. in their frequency impure and thus musically unusable pitches on the strings of the String Instruments.

The Rail prevents buckling of the left wrist, tilting the hand and the lowering of the arm. The tines bring both the fingers in the distance required for the correct pitch as well as in the required direction without them in their vigorous to restrict tapping exercise movement. you are not padded but smooth, allowing fingers to move quickly and unrestrained between to be able to move them up and down. The extension, which the two outer joints of the grasping thumb spreads from the palm thus prevents the overstretched Kinking of these joints, and causes the thumb to the flexor of his last member to tense with his own strength to this against to support the instrument neck. The body-shape-appropriate Adaptation of the appendage to the thumb rounding holds the Thumbs off from the set by this extension, the Middle finger opposite regular position to avoid one or the other side.

As soon as the fingers are strengthened and in the regular position they are not accustomed to the leading tines more necessary, but stand in the context of progress to be practiced so-called wide position in the way. The wrist and especially the thumb are, however, experience significant relies on a support for longer. The handle adapter can therefore in a further embodiment without the bar and the tines are made. An advantageous embodiment of this Execution is shown in protection claim 2 in category A. It is important that the invention Handle adapter in this version only below the Joint of the thumb around this closes to the outside Do not touch limbs of the thumb from the outside, so that these are not activated by their extensor can support against this shell, but to seek their hold in the curve. Where previously the bar was allowed, the flat, fitting to the finger roots surface of the upper part of the palm in the course of the so-called wide location in advanced game along this surface to glide.

A third version of the handle adapter, on the students According to experience, it is still dependent on many years are to prevent slipping in posture mistakes sustainably Finally, it only consists of the, the thumb joints spreading from the palm and thus to the self-active curvature causing part of the handle adapter, which is similar to the preceding Versions in the saddle between forefinger and grasping Thumb nestles.

Of the Handle adapter is made according to the different degree of Skills of its users, the different angle of inclination the attitude to cello and violin / viola, the different body size, as well as the budget in different sizes, as also in different versions and compilations made of its components.

Arch adapter:

• – Die für den kleinen Finger vorgesehene Mulde ist der Fingerkuppe mit einem gewissen Spielraum körperformgerecht angepasst und befindet sich auf der oberen Seite des Bogens am Ende der Bogenstange hinter dem Frosch. Bei der Violin/Viola-Ausführung befindet sich diese Mulde genau auf der oberen Seite der Bogenstange, entsprechend der zum Erdboden gewendeten Fläche der Bogenhaare beim Violinspiel, während sie bei der Cello-Ausführung, je nach der Größe des Bogenadapters, um wenige Millimeter seitlich verschoben, etwas schräg oben an der dem Spieler abgewandten Seite der Bogenstange lieg, entsprechend der schräg zum Spieler gewendeten Auflagefläche der Bogenhaare auf den, den Fingerdruck gegen-stützenden Saiten. Durch ihren leicht hochgezogenen Rand auf der äußeren, den Fingernagel betreffenden Seite sichert die Mulde den Finger gegen Abrutschen. Durch einen, die Fingerkuppe an ihrer Innenseite stützenden Wulst verhindert sie auch das Einknicken des letzten Gelenks und veranlasste den Finger seinen Beuger zu aktivieren und aus eigener Kraft das Englied zu krümmen. Der besagte leicht hochgezogene Rand auf der Außenseite der Mulde ist durch seinen eher flachen Neigungswinkel und seine geringe Höhe nicht in Gefahr den Finger zu verleiten sich durch Aktivierung seines Streckers gegen ihn abzustützen, sondern schützt ihn lediglich vor dem Abrutschen. Diese Mulde ermöglicht dem kleinen Finger ohne die bekannten Schwierigkeiten des Abrutschens und Einknickens, bei gleichzeitiger Eigenaktivierung der richtigen Muskeln seine, das Bogengewicht ausbalancierende Hebelfunktion durch den flexiblen Einsatz seiner sämtliche Gelenke auszuüben.
• – Der Daumen wird auch bei dieser Hand durch Abspreizen seines zweiten Gliedes mittels eines Fortsatzes am überstreckten Einknicken verhindert und dazu veranlasst sein Endglied aus eigener Kraft zu beugen, was für die regelgerechte, druckflexible Handhabung des Bogens unerlässlich ist. Der Fortsatz ist bei der Cello-Ausführung etwas ausgeprägter in der Weise, dass das letzte Daumenglied zu einer etwas deutlicheren Krümmung veranlasst wird als bei der Violin/Viola-Ausführung, entsprechend dem etwas stärkeren Neigungswinkel der Hand und der Finger zur Bogenstange beim Cellospiel im Vergleich zum Violinspiel. In die, unter dem Fortsatz liegende Mulde schmiegt sich die weiche Innenseite des letzten Daumengliedes bequem ein. Die Mulde wird so tief in den Griffkörper hinein gelegt, dass an ihrem Grund die bekanntermaßen an diesem Ort befindliche vordere obere, gerundete Ecke des bekannten Frosches als eine kleine Wölbung hervor tritt. Um dem Daumen zu gestatten durch stärkeres oder schwächeres Krümmen seines letzten Gelenks um diese Wölbung zu rollen und so den Winkel der Bogenhaare zum Verlauf der Saite in der bekannten Weise zu verändern, umschließt ihn, in der Ausführung für Fortgeschrittene, die Mulde nicht an der Seite seines Nagels, was ihm die Freiheit zu verstärkter Krümmung gibt. Sein Abrutschen wird in dieser Ausführung lediglich durch eine kleine Kante am Rand der Mulde verhindert, auf die er mit dem Fingernagel etwa senkrecht auftrifft. Damit der Anfänger die regelgerechte Position des Daumens jederzeit von selber findet, ist es jedoch erforderlich, dass der Bogenadapter in der Ausführung für Anfänger die Daumenkuppe auch auf der Seite ihres Nagels mit einem gewissen Spielraum körperförmgerecht umschließt und ihr dadurch sicheren Halt am regelgerechten Ort gibt.
• – Der Zeigefinger findet vor dem Frosch ein sich schräg dem Verlauf der Bogenstange anschmiegendes körperformgerecht angepasstes Bett entsprechend der bekannten Haltung dieses Fingers bei der Bogenführung, in welches sich seine zwei vorderen Glieder bequem einschmiegen um den, während der Tonerzeugung auszuübenden, ständig wechselnden Druck auf die Bogenstange differenziert dosieren zu können. Das Bett für den Zeigefinger ist bei der Violin/Viola-Ausführung in seiner Richtung dem des Mittel- und des Ringfingers ähnlicher, d. h. es führt den Zeigefinger in einer fast ebenso steilen Neigung zum Verlauf der Bogenstange wie Mittel- und Ringfinger, so dass der Zeigefinger, entsprechend dem geringeren Druck, den er auf die leichter ansprechenden Saiten der Violine auszuüben hat, nur bis zu seinem zweiten Glied in Kontakt mit der Bogenstange ist, während er sich bei der Cello-Ausführung in einem flacheren Winkel dem Verlauf der Bogenstange mehr anschmiegt, entsprechen dem größeren Druck, den die schwerer ansprechenden Cellosaiten erfordern.
• – Mittel- und Ringfinger finden jeder ein auf der Seite des Frosches nach oben verlaufendes, leicht schräg nach vorne geneigtes körperformgerecht angepasstes Bett das sie in der regelgerechten Lage hält. Durch diesen gut anliegenden Berührungskontakt mit dem Bogen wird ihre Funktion der Richtungsführung des Bogens sowohl bezüglich des Neigungswinkels der Fläche der Bogenhaare zum Spieler, als auch bezüglich der Richtung des Strichverlaufes, optimiert. Bei der Violin/Viola-Ausführung verläuft das Bett dieser Finger geringfügig steiler als bei der Cello-Ausführung, d. h. sie liegen fast rechtwinklig zur Richtung der Bogenstange entsprechend der regelgerechten Richtung dieser Finger bei der Position des Violinbogens, welcher mit der Fläche seiner Haare parallel zum Erdboden gehalten wird und nicht, wie beim Cellospiel, schräg zum Spieler gewendet.

The bow adapter is used for faster learning of the rule-compliant, pressure-flexible and flexible inclination handling of the bowed instrument bow. For this purpose, the well-known grip of the bow, the so-called frog, according to the invention extended on all sides by ergonomic shaping, so that the fingers and the thumb of the right hand of the player when embracing the frog nestle directly into the wells provided for them and this involuntarily get into the required position.

• - The provided for the little finger trough is the fingertip with a certain amount of body shape adapted and is located on the upper side of the arch at the end of the bow bar behind the frog. In the Violin / Viola version, this trough is located exactly on the upper side of the bow bar, corresponding to the surface of the bow hairs turned to the ground in violin playing, while in the cello version, depending on the size of the bow adapter, laterally shifted by a few millimeters , Slightly obliquely up on the side facing away from the player of the bow bar, according to the obliquely turned to the player support surface of the bow hair on the finger pressure against supporting strings. With its slightly raised edge on the outer, fingernail-related side, the trough secures the finger from slipping off. By a, the fingertip on its inside supporting bulge, it also prevents the buckling of the last joint and caused the finger to activate his flexor and to bend the Englied on their own. The said slightly raised edge on the outside of the trough is by its rather low angle of inclination and its low height not in danger of tempting the finger to support by activating its extensor against him, but only protects him from slipping. This trough allows the little finger without the known difficulties of slipping and buckling, while self-activation of the right Mus Its flexibility in balancing the lever function through the flexible use of all his joints exercise.
• - The thumb is prevented in this hand by spreading his second member by means of an extension of the overstretched buckling and causes his end member to bend on his own, which is essential for the regular, pressure-flexible handling of the bow. The extension is slightly more pronounced in the cello version in that the last thumb member is caused to a slightly clearer curvature than in the violin / viola version, corresponding to the slightly stronger inclination angle of the hand and the fingers to the bow bar in cello playing in comparison to the violin play. The soft inside of the last thumb stick snuggles into the hollow below the extension. The trough is placed so deeply into the handle body that at its bottom, the front upper, rounded corner of the known frog known to exist at that location emerges as a small camber. In order to allow the thumb to bend over this curvature by more or less bending its last joint and thus changing the angle of the bow hairs to the course of the string in the known manner, it does not enclose the trough at the side in the advanced version of his nail, which gives him the freedom to increased curvature. His slipping is prevented in this embodiment only by a small edge on the edge of the trough, which he strikes with the fingernail approximately perpendicular. So that the beginner finds the regular position of the thumb at any time by itself, however, it is necessary that the bow adapter in the version for beginners the thumb tip on the side of her nail with a certain margin enclosing body-shaped and thus gives her a secure grip on regular place.
• - The index finger finds in front of the frog obliquely to the course of the bow rod conforming bodyformgerecht bed according to the well-known attitude of this finger in the bowing, in which nestle his two front limbs comfortably around the, during the tone generation auszubenden, constantly changing pressure on the To be able to dose bowed rod differentiated. The bed for the index finger is in the direction of the violin / viola in the direction of the middle and the ring finger similar, ie, it leads the index finger in an almost equally steep slope to the course of the bow bar like middle and ring finger, so that the index finger according to the lower pressure which it has to exert on the lighter-responding strings of the violin, it is only in contact with the bowed rod up to its second link, while in the cello version it conforms more closely to the course of the bow-rod, correspond to the greater pressure required by the harder cello strings.
• - Middle and ring finger find each one on the side of the frog upwardly extending, slightly obliquely forward inclined bodyformgerecht adapted bed that keeps them in the regular position. By this close contact with the sheet bow their function of directional guidance of the arc is optimized both in terms of the inclination angle of the surface of the bow hair to the player, as well as with respect to the direction of the stroke course. In the violin / viola version, the bed of these fingers is slightly steeper than in the cello version, ie they are almost perpendicular to the direction of the bow bar according to the regular direction of these fingers at the position of the violin bow, which with the surface of his hair parallel to Earth is held and not, as in cello playing, turned obliquely to the player.

It is possible to differentiate the needs of the beginner from those of the advanced in various implementations, in that the body-conforming protrusions of the arcadaptor surface between and around the fingers / thumbs are more prominent in the beginner's style, for the purpose of making the fingers safer in their respective position, while these surveys may be somewhat flatter in the advanced version, to allow the already strengthened, skilled hand more flexibility of movement. The bow adapter according to the invention is a, corresponding to the possibilities of modern plastic material further development of the user interface of the well-known bow handle / frog, which serves not only the beginner to consolidate the regular attitude, but also offers the virtuoso a user-friendly interface. It therefore makes sense to include him both directly in the production of a bow, as well as put on a known bow as an adapter. The adaptation of the respective embodiments to the outer shape of the known violin and cello bows allows that they can be placed properly on the respective sheet. The eyelet around the bow screw as well as the part of the adapter that surrounds the entire upper front part of the frog in the area of the thumb recess hold it firmly on the bow. The fact that the cavity for the bow rod also corresponds to the frog of the larger, lying in front of the frog dimension of the bow rod, the adapter ge with removed frog, except for the known slightly thicker, lying in front of the frog part of the bow bar ge with some pressure be pushed to then be pushed back over the behind it reused frog and the reinserted bow screw in its intended position. Its nature of either minimally elastic material or its coating of non-sliding elastic material allows it to be slipped on the well-known sheet with gentle pressure.

Of the Bow adapter will, according to the differences of attitude Cello and violin / viola, as well as the different body size and the degree of skill of their users, made in different versions. To the necessary Subtleties of the shapes in relation to their body shape correspondence and in terms of their conformity with the known ones Attitude of the respective limbs in the instrument use in the required To take into account both the design in different, the Body size of the user corresponding Sizes, than the use of suitable models the limbs in professional game posture required. handle adapter and bow adapters are therefore both based on their specific shape of casts of the body parts concerned, the they enclose, or by which they are held. Around here copies of the appropriate, regular positions of the concerned Being able to create links is the hand of experts instrumental use required.

What the material condition is an embodiment with smooth surface particularly easy to care for, as welding residues can be easily removed. A sprayed on thin, z. B. velvety padding, however, has the advantage to strengthen the tactile experience and thus also the Inervation the zones concerned. An additional inlaid padding in the bed of the index finger or the middle and ring finger, supports in this sense the index finger in its function the pressure dosage and the middle and ring finger in their sensitive trend-setting function.

Stroke indicator:

The correct position of the fingers of the right hand is enough for a successful bowing is not enough. To the for the generation of music-usable, unpleasant noises liberated tones, required rectilinear movement of the bow to ensure is also the control of the Movements of the right wrist, arms and elbows required. A to be fixed to the forearm along the Elle, at both ends closed tube containing a free-running ball in it, serves the student as an indicator of the right or wrong Move. The bow is over to the top Pulled strings, the right arm is stretched out and the wrist a little lower than the elbow. The ball is thus at the Wrist lying end of the tube rolled. Will the bow in the other direction over the strings painted to the frog comes to the strings, the wrist must be arched upwards and the elbows are a little lower than this. The ball is therefore rolled to the elbow facing the end of the tube. Your Movement draws the student's attention to one otherwise hardly noticeable to him in the nuances of their inclination angle Movement and gives him unmistakable signals.

The Tube on a piece of sleeve tube made of elastic textile or to attach textile rubber bands allows the stroke indicator by simply overlaying the forearm to the required position along the outside of the forearm. The Velcro closure allows a more complete consideration of the size, or the scope of the user arm.

By a padded jacket can the ball in its rolling speed be slowed down a bit. The padding of the inside of the two Ends of the tube can make the ball a gentle reversal the rolling direction help, not by a jerky impact the ball the subtle suppleness in the direction reversal affect.

For the beginner would be the use of only individual elements worthless because the movements controlled by the set only in their entirety to produce the desired tone on the string instrument. It has to be Pupils but in the course of his progress enabled are in free combination to use the supports, derer He still needs it while he begins to renounce others already to be able to.

Advantages of the invention:

Of the Use of the string set according to the invention in The music education practice reduces the playing of the string instrument details to be observed even one very young Children manageable measure in which the movement possibilities mechanically restricted to the regular processes and so getting used to wrong, the progress Disabling movement is avoided. Thereby unnecessary a variety of grueling, the spielifer interrupting corrections and straightforward progress is made possible.

The most significant value of this invention may lie in the fact that what was previously possible only in the privileged situations of one-to-one tuition, combined with home-based assistance, Thanks to the, by the invention manageable task, can be successfully taught in groups. The community in the group is in turn a source of motivation whose dynamics was previously reserved only for the really advanced. But nothing has this dynamic motivation as necessary as the difficult, patience-requiring initial phase.

in the Course of development of all-day school programs on the one hand, as well the well-known research results to the the intelligence and the Social competence-promoting effect of musical instrumental playing On the other hand, the stated advantages of the invention are in not yet to be seen, forward - looking innovation to progressive popularization of musical activity. It is certainly not an invention whose success is in an explosive but short-lived fashion trend, but in a slow but unstoppable path breaking developmental need.

If one z. B. considers that in the course of, by the industrialists Revolution and the invention of machines freed manpower, in the middle of the 19th century the term "sport" in general first came up and in 1896 the first Olympic Games took place, then There is reason enough to ask yourself to what extent that electronic ages free human potential becomes new creative dimensions.

Of the Football did not take a century to get to develop from its beginnings to global popular sports. What speaks against a development of music as a "popular sport" at the end of another century, when through the invention the necessary user-friendly devices in general becomes accessible?

professor Hans Günther Bastian summarizes the result of his, from the German Ministry of Culture co-financed, in Europe so far most extensive study to the musical pleasure together with the words: "In the social Area, the results are sensational. ... educational policy with Music is the best social policy! "He adds," Politicians, who want to save money here today, it must tomorrow for To spend on psychiatry and rehabilitation. "

professor Bastian hereby points to the core of musical activity hin: The principle of the competition for the first place is alien to the music. It's not about the "fastest", the "strongest", or being the "loudest" is about feeling for the common rhythm, the mutual dynamics, the harmonious complement. A promising future Trend after the dead end of the doping competitions?
