Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device of the capo type for the easy production of chords on a string instrument, in particular a guitar.
  • PCT application WO 102910 has already proposed a device for selecting the position of the chords.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a device which allows a simple and easy use of a guitar, without knowledge of music theory.
  • this result is obtained with a device of the capo type for the easy realization of chords on a string instrument, in particular a guitar, characterized in that it consists of an easel held manually by the user. and enclosing the handle of the instrument at the location chosen by said user, said bridge comprising on its face coming into contact with the strings respectively: - a coxswain for the creation of locks, - a stud for support on a rope, - a cameraman coming to be placed between two successive bars of the handle of the instrument.
  • the device according to the invention is in the form of an easel (2) comprising two lateral flanges (3,4) parallel to each other and perpendicular to the upper face (5) of said easel.
  • One of the flanges (4) is shorter than the other (3) so as to allow the device to rotate around the handle of the instrument.
  • the two flanges are joined on their front edge by a rounded edge on the upper face.
  • the bridge On its upper face, the bridge has a ring (6) in which the user inserts the finger, in this case the middle finger, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the bridge comprises respectively: - a coxswain (7) longitudinal and perpendicular to the planes of the flanges (3,4); - a stud (8); - a cameraman (9).
  • the coxswain, the stud and the cameraman will for example be made of relatively flexible synthetic material to dampen and attenuate vibrations.
  • the coxswain (7) will be systematically placed between two successive bars of the neck of the guitar. It allows the strikethrough, essential for agreements.
  • the stud (8) will pluck a given string, if necessary for the agreement concerned.
  • the device will be formed with a table of different agreements, indicating where and how the device should be positioned. For some agreements, it will still be necessary to use an additional finger.
  • FIG. 3 Illustrated in Figure 3 the placement of a device (1) on the neck (10) of a guitar. It can be moved laterally (position 11 and position 12) and in rotation (position 13 and position lA).
  • Rotation is made possible due to the structure of the flange (4).
  • the device will advantageously be made of a transparent material, so that the user can view the position of the helmsman, the stud and the cameraman.
  • the device is easy to use.
  • the device can be designed for right and left handed users. It should be noted that the user's fingers are very little in contact with the strings, which avoids injuries especially for beginners, which is common with a usual approach to learning chords. The device can even be used by people who have lost one or more fingers as well as by people with large fingers, for whom learning to play the guitar has been forbidden until now.
  • the tuning can be performed quickly and precisely by pinching on the neck of the instrument, the thumb coming below the neck.
