Alphorn mit erweitertem TonumfangAlphorn with extended range

In der Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE29i^.^?'.?"wird ein Alphorn beschrieben, dessen Tonumfang durch eine Klappenmechanik, ähnlich einer Klarinette, über die Naturtonreihe hinaus erweitert werden kann. Die Klappen und die dazugehörige Mechanik sind entsprechend der Länge des Resonanzrohres in Ihren Abmessungen sehr groß, sodaß sich in der Praxis nur Alphörner mit wenigen Klappen (z.B. fünf) realisieren lassen.In the utility model DE29i^.^?'.?" an alphorn is described whose range can be extended beyond the natural tone range by means of a key mechanism, similar to a clarinet. The keys and the associated mechanism are very large in their dimensions, corresponding to the length of the resonance tube, so that in practice only alphorns with a few keys (e.g. five) can be realized.

Um die Töne der chromatischen Tonleiter vollständig über drei Oktaven spielen zu können, brauchte man etwa vierzig Klappen. Abgesehen von der Schwierigkeit, diese Mechanik mit vertretbaren Kosten zu realisieren, wäre ein solches Instrument auch kaum spielbar.In order to be able to play the notes of the chromatic scale over three octaves, around forty keys would be needed. Apart from the difficulty of implementing this mechanism at a reasonable cost, such an instrument would also be almost unplayable.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Alphorn, dessen Tonumfang durch Einfügen einer Ventilmechanik erweitert wird. Solche Ventilmechaniken sind insbesondere von den Blechblasinstrumenten Trompete, Tuba, Waldhorn und anderen bekannt. Ventilmechaniken verlängern oder verkürzen je nach Kombination der betätigten Ventile die effektive Länge des Resonanzrohres und ermöglicht so die für einen Ton der chromatischen Tonleiter charakteristischen Eigenschwingungen (Vergleiche hierzu z.B. 1)).The invention relates to an alphorn whose range is extended by inserting a valve mechanism. Such valve mechanisms are known in particular from the brass instruments trumpet, tuba, French horn and others. Valve mechanisms lengthen or shorten the effective length of the resonance tube depending on the combination of the valves actuated and thus enable the natural vibrations characteristic of a note of the chromatic scale (compare e.g. 1)).

Im Gegensatz zur Klappenmechanik reichen bei einer Ventilmechanik wenige Betätigungselemente aus, um den gesamten Tonumfang zu ermöglichen. So hat z.B. eine einfache Tuba nur drei Ventile. Diese Ventilmechanik wird auch Tubamaschine genannt. Sie kann mit einem Alphorn kombiniert werden.In contrast to the key mechanism, a valve mechanism requires only a few operating elements to enable the entire range of tones. For example, a simple tuba has only three valves. This valve mechanism is also called a tuba machine. It can be combined with an alphorn.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel erhält man, wenn aus dem oberen Teil des Alphorns ein Stück des Mundrohres entfernt und die Tubamaschine mit geeigneten Paßstücken, wie bei einer Tuba, eingefügt wird. Damit eine definierte Tonfolge gespielt werden kann, müssen die Rohrlängen in der Tubamaschine und der Rest des Resonanzrohres vom Alphorn aufeinander abgestimmt sein. Vorteilhafterweise paßt man die Länge eines Alphorns an eine käufliche Tubamaschine an.One example is when a piece of the lead pipe is removed from the upper part of the alphorn and the tuba machine is inserted with suitable fittings, as with a tuba. In order to be able to play a defined sequence of notes, the lengths of the pipe in the tuba machine and the rest of the resonance pipe of the alphorn must be matched to one another. It is advantageous to adapt the length of an alphorn to a commercially available tuba machine.
