Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flute mouthpiece (according to the preamble of claim 1).
  • Mouthpieces of this type are generally known, particularly in the case of recorders.
  • the core of these flute mouthpieces is usually made of cedar wood. After playing the recorder for a long time, the moisture exiting from the mouth of the flute player during swelling can cause the mouthpiece to swell, so that the dimensions of the core gap formed in the mouthpiece can change, which leads to a change in the sound quality and the sound of the flute.
  • the result is that the sound of the flute changes disadvantageously with increasing playing time.
  • a frequently practicing musician must therefore have a plurality of flutes in order to obtain a reasonably constant sound quality by changing the instruments over his entire practice period.
  • the vertical dimension of the core column can be changed in a particularly simple manner. This changeability of the vertical dimension allows the musician to swell len of the mouthpiece by simple vertical adjustment of the pivotable section to restore the original optimal dimensions of the core column and thus to achieve the desired sound quality again.
  • the characteristic of the flute mouthpiece can also be fundamentally changed, for example a so-called “wide construction” can be achieved if the upper, inside the mouthpiece Edge of the core is set to a level which is deeper than the labium edge, or, for example, a “narrow construction” can be achieved if the upper, inner edge of the core on the mouthpiece is moved into a plane approximately common with the labium edge.
  • the idea of the invention thus consists in designing the top edge of the core on the inside of the mouthpiece of a flute mouthpiece to be vertically adjustable, so that the vertical dimension of the core column can be individually selected and adjusted by the musician.
  • the upper surface of the core can be bendable, but according to claim 2, an advantageous embodiment is such that the pivotable section of the core is an insert piece stored in the core. This has the advantage that the production is considerably simplified and the adjustable flute mouthpiece can be manufactured inexpensively.
  • a particularly simple and advantageous embodiment of the adjustment actuation is specified in claim 3, the adjustment rod advantageously being inserted from below through the openings into the insert piece after the core has been inserted into the mouthpiece.
  • the embodiment according to claim 5 is particularly cost-effective since only the pivotable section of the core made of wood, preferably of cedar wood or an even harder wood or a suitable synthetic material, must be formed in order to achieve the essential property of the selected wood or synthetic material in this area To exploit material, namely to ensure the absorption of moisture in the breathing air with a low tendency to swell.
  • the rest of the core can then consist, for example, of a plastic that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the special design of the pivotable section and the core body described in claim 6 has the advantage of simple manufacture while at the same time ensuring a transition zone between the upper surface of the core body and the upper surface of the pivotable section which is as free of interference as possible. This configuration makes it possible to avoid unwanted detachment of the overall flow on the upper surface of the core.
  • the embodiment according to claim 7 allows the mouthpiece to be cleaned in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • an elastic insert is advantageously inserted between the wooden insert and the base of the recess in the mouthpiece cover. Due to the elastic insert, uneven force effects on the wooden insert resulting from the attachment of the mouthpiece cover can be compensated. It is also particularly advantageous according to claim 10 if the wooden insert is made of cedar wood.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flute mouthpiece 1 which has a longitudinal bore 11.
  • a core 2 is only partially inserted into the longitudinal bore 11.
  • the core 2 lies directly against the wall of the longitudinal bore 11 over approximately three quarters of its circumference.
  • Only the top surface 22 of the core is from the wall Surface 16 of the longitudinal bore 11 spaced in this area, so that between the upper surface 22 of the core 2 and the wall surface 16, a wind tunnel designated as core gap 3 is formed.
  • This wind tunnel has a blow-in opening 30 at the lip-side end of the mouthpiece and a blow-out opening 31 at its mouth-side end.
  • an upward-directed radial opening which is referred to as a cut-up 12 is provided in the mouthpiece body 10.
  • the cold cut 12 is delimited on its side opposite the blow-out opening 31 by a labium 13 whose labium edge 14 delimiting the cold cut is formed at an acute angle.
  • the labium has an inclined surface 15 that widens the cutout outwards.
  • the core 2 consists of a core body 20 which delimits the core to the outside of the longitudinal bore and downwards.
  • the core body 20 also forms part of the upper surface 22 of the core extending from the injection opening 30. This part is about a fifth to a third, preferably a quarter, of the total longitudinal extent of the upper surface 22.
  • a groove-like undercut 23 which extends horizontally and transversely to the longitudinal bore and is open towards the inside of the mouthpiece, is formed in the core body 20, as shown in FIG 3 shows.
  • a spring-like projection 24, directed towards the injection opening 30, of an insert 21 designed as a pivotable section of the core 2 is inserted such that the undercut 23 and the projection 24 together form a pivot axis 29 for the insert 21.
  • the insert 21 extends to the mouth end of the core 2 and the upper surface of the one Set piece 21 continues the upper surface 22 of the entire core 2 to the blow-out opening 31.
  • the insert 21 has an insert 25 which extends transversely to the longitudinal bore through the insert 21 in the interior thereof and can also be pushed into the insert 21 from the side.
  • the insert 25 is provided with a substantially vertically extending threaded hole which is accessible through an opening provided in the lower surface of the insert 21.
  • An elastic insert 28 is arranged between the lower surface of the insert 21 and the lower part of the core body 20.
  • This elastic insert preferably extends over the entire width of the core and is thinner in the end region on the inside of the mouthpiece than at the opposite end.
  • a hole penetrates the elastic insert 28, the lower section of the core body 20 and the lower wall 17 of the mouthpiece body 10.
  • a screw 26 is passed through this hole from below , which is screwed into the threaded bore in the insert 25.
  • the screw 26 serving as an adjusting rod rests with its head 27 on the outer surface of the lower wall 17 of the mouthpiece body 10 and is supported there on a support collar 18 running perpendicular to the axis of the bore.
  • the screw head 27 is preferably designed as a knurled head.
  • the core column is narrowing.
  • the mouthpiece body 10 has a removable mouthpiece cover 4.
  • the mouthpiece cover 4 extends over the entire length of the core gap and is fastened to the mouthpiece body 10 in a known manner with a clamp. As shown in Fig. 2, the mouthpiece cover is much wider than the core gap.
  • the mouthpiece cover 4 has a recess 40 which is open towards the core gap 3 and which is also wider than the core gap 3.
  • the cutout 40 receives a wooden insert 42 which delimits the core gap 3 upwards and which is itself wider than the core gap.
  • an elastic insert 41 is provided, which keeps the fastening forces of the mouthpiece cover 4 as far as possible from the wooden insert 42, so that the wooden insert 42 cannot warp. In this way there is a clean seal between the core gaps 3 over the entire length and the wooden insert 42 of the mouthpiece cover 4 ensures.
  • the wooden insert 42 of the cover 4 can optionally be provided with a step 43 projecting into the core gap, which also makes the top of the core gap variable in different dimensions. This has the advantage that children who z. B. have a lower air volume, can select any desired narrowing of the core gap.
