KAISERLICHESIMPERIAL PATENTAMT.PATENT OFFICE. Den Gegenstand vorliegender Erfindung bildet eine Vorrichtung, welche das Stimmen chromatisch besaiteter Zithern erleichtert und auf beiliegender Zeichnung in Fig. 1 und 2 in Verbindung mit der Zither, in Fig. 3 gesondert dargestellt ist.The subject of the present invention is a device which does the tuning chromatically strung zithers and on the accompanying drawing in Fig. 1 and 2 in Connection with the zither, shown separately in Fig. 3. Dasselbe besteht aus einem Balken A, auf dem sich eine Rippe α erhebt. Diese Rippe a ist nun so gekrümmt, dafs, wenn man den Balken A an das Ende der Saiten schiebt, durch Aufdrücken des Fingers hinter die Rippe α der Ton der Saite um einen halben Ton erhöht wird.It consists of a beam A on which a rib α rises. This rib a is now so curved that if one pushes the bar A to the end of the strings, pressing the finger behind the rib α increases the tone of the string by half a tone. Man kann auf diese Weise auf der c-Saite den Ton eis erklingen lassen, um alsdann nach dieser die benachbarte eis-Saite zu stimmen. Ist diese gestimmt, so drückt man auf die cis-Saite hinter dem Steg α, wodurch dieselbe in d ertönt, und stimmt hiernach die d-Saite. In this way you can let the tone eis sound on the c-string, in order to then tune the neighboring eis-string after this. If this is in tune, press the c sharp string behind the bridge α, which makes it sound in d, and then tune the d string. So schreitet man beim Stimmen von Saite zu Saite fort.This is how you progress from string to string when tuning. Patent-Anspruch:Patent claim: Eine Vorrichtung zur Erleichterung des Stimmens chromatisch besaiteter Zithern, bestehend aus einem unter die Saiten zu schiebenden Balken A, auf welchem ein Steg a so angeordnet ist, dafs durch Niederdrücken der Saiten auf diesen Steg der Ton jeder Saite um einen halben Ton erhöht wird.A device to facilitate the tuning of chromatically strung zithers, consisting of a bar A to be pushed under the strings, on which a bridge a is arranged so that by pressing the strings on this bridge the tone of each string is raised by half a tone.
