Description

Streichinstrumente (Cello, Bratsche, Geige) werden vorteilhaft mit einer oder mehreren Metallsaiten bezogen, die gegenüber Darmsaiten reinere Schwingungstypen infolge homogenerer Massenverteilung sowie eine große Frequenzkonstanz und Haltbarkeit aufweisen. Sie zeichnen sich aber auch durch eine. erhelilich größere Steifigkeit aus. Diese erhöht die Eigenschwingungen des Instrumentkörpers dadurch, daß sie als Zusatzfeder in der Längsachse parallel zur Federung von Decke und Boden wirkt. Dies führt zu einem Klangcharakter, der nach neueren physikalischen Untersuchungen (Meinel E. T. N 1937 Bd. 14, H. 4 S. 119 und Ak. Zs. jahrg. 5, 1940, H. 3 und 5) sich vom Idealklang der alten italienischen Instrumente entfernt. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist die schlechte Ansprache der Metallsaite, da, verglichen mit der Darmsaite, zur Erzeugung gleich großer Saitenamplituden eine größere mechanische Energie von der Bogenbewegung aufgebracht werden muß.String instruments (cello, viola, violin) are advantageously covered with one or more metal strings which, compared to gut strings, have purer vibration types due to a more homogeneous mass distribution as well as a high frequency constancy and durability. But they are also characterized by a. earnestly greater rigidity. This increases the natural vibrations of the instrument body in that it acts as an additional spring in the longitudinal axis parallel to the suspension of the ceiling and floor. This leads to a sound character which, according to recent physical studies (Meinel E. T. N 1937 vol. 14, no. 4 p. 119 and Ak. Zs. Year 5, 1940, no. 3 and 5) differs from the ideal sound of the old italian instruments removed. Another disadvantage is the poor response of the metal string, since, compared to the gut string, a greater mechanical energy has to be applied by the bow movement in order to generate string amplitudes of the same size.

Um die Geigenkörperresonanzen nach niedrigeren Frequenzen hin zu verschieben und die Ansprache zu verbessern unter Ausnutzung der Vorteile von #Metallsaiten, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, deren Steifigkeit durch eine Feder auf ein den Darmsaiten angeglichenes-Maß herabzusetzen. Hier erweist sich die Druckfeder (vgl. Abb. i Saitenhalter, 2 Halteschraube, 3 Saite, 4 Steg, 5 Geigendecke, 6 Gegenlager, 7 Druckfeder), welche auf den für die vorgegebene Tonhöhe notwendigen Längszug vorgespannt ist, wegen ihrer wesentlich geringeren Dimension der Zugfeder Überlegen. Außerdem erübrigen sich, ähnlich wie bei Darmsaiten, die für Metallsaiten unerläßlichen Feinstimmer mittels Schraubübersetzung.In order to shift the violin body resonance towards lower frequencies and to improve the response while utilizing the advantages of #metal strings, it is proposed according to the invention to reduce their stiffness by means of a spring to a level that is matched to the gut strings. Here, the compression spring (i tailpiece, 2 retaining screw, 3 strings, 4 ridge 5 violin top, 6 abutment, 7 compression spring see. Fig.), Which is biased to the necessary for the predetermined pitch longitudinal tension proves, because of their much lower dimension of the Mainspring Superior. In addition, similar to gut strings, there is no need for the fine tuners that are essential for metal strings by means of screw transmission.
