Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for electroacoustic amplification of a string instrument with a tailpiece button and with a pickup device fastened to the string instrument via a holder, which pickup device can be connected to an amplifier via leads guided through the hollow tailpiece button.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to further develop the known device so that the pickup device can be attached to a string instrument in an extremely simple manner. Another task is to provide a device that can be removed from the stringing instrument in just a few simple steps.
- the pickup device is a microphone and that this microphone is arranged in the interior of the body of the stringed instrument and is held by the hollow button holder button.
- the invention particularly exploits the fact that a string holder button is present in any case with stringed instruments.
- This tailpiece button is used for string instruments to attach the tailpiece string.
- the invention proposes to replace this conventional tailpiece button with a hollow tailpiece button, which at the same time serves as a holder for a microphone to be inserted into the body of the string instrument.
- the microphone arranged in the hollow string-holding button can be removed at any time and the remaining cavity can be replaced, for example, by a blind plug.
- the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment in connection with three figures for use with a violin.
- the invention is not limited to violins. Rather, the invention can be used with any kind of stringed instruments that have a tailpiece button. In the case of a cello, for example, this is a support spike.
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention in a top view of the body of a violin open at the top
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the device according to the invention in the installed state
- FIG. 3 shows possible embodiments for a hollow tailpiece button, a blind plug and a microphone plug with a microphone.
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention in a plan view of the body 10 of a violin which is open at the top.
- the tailpiece button that is already available with every violin is now replaced by a bracket. sets, which is designed as a hollow tailpiece button 1.
- This inner part of the tailpiece button, which tapers conically in this example, is seated in the shaft of the block 4 customary in the violin Violin 11 arranged.
- a detachable connection is preferably provided at the end of the hollow tailpiece button 1 opposite the microphone 3, via which leads 16 to the amplifier can be connected to the microphone.
- the detachable connection is formed as a plug 5 and socket 6, which is formed at one end of the supply lines 16 and is seated at the end of the hollow tailpiece button 1 opposite the microphone 3.
- the plug 5 and the socket 6 preferably have a bayonet lock.
- FIG. 1 shows the side view of FIG. 1 of the device according to the invention.
- the already known reference signs are used for the same parts. Since the hollow tailpiece button 1 according to the invention has the dimensions of the already usual tailpiece button in the violin, it is easily possible to attach the tailpiece strand 7 coming from the tailpiece 8 to the hollow tailpiece button 1.
- the hollow tailpiece button 1 like the already usual tailpiece button, has an annular recess 17, around which the tailpiece string 7 is guided for fastening. The hollow tailpiece button 1 is clamped in the shaft of the block 4.
- FIG. 3 shows a particularly preferred embodiment of the hollow tailpiece button 1.
- This hollow tailpiece button 1 now also has the dimensions of a tailpiece button already present in the violin.
- the hollow tailpiece button 1 now has a cylindrical opening with an internal thread, into which the blind plug 2 shown in FIG. 3b or the microphone plug 14 shown in FIG. 3c together with the microphone 3 can be screwed.
- the blind plug 12 is suitable for being screwed into the hollow tailpiece button 1.
- To the thread plug 12 has an external thread 15.
- Blind plug L2 is then screwed into the hollow tailpiece button 1 if no electroacoustic amplification of the violin is to be carried out.
- FIG. 3c shows the microphone 3 already described, which is now fastened in a microphone plug 14.
- the microphone plug 14 is similar to the blind plug T2 and also has an external thread 15.
- the microphone 3 can be connected to an electrical amplifier via a feed line 16.
- the feed line 16 leads through an opening 18 through the microphone plug 14 to the microphone 3. If the tones of the violin are to be amplified electro-acoustically, this microphone plug 14 together with the microphone 3 is screwed into the hollow tailpiece button 1. The microphone 3 is thus inside the body of the string instrument.
- the hollow tailpiece button 1, the blind plug 12 and the microphone plug 14 are preferably formed from aluminum and in particular black anodized.
- the blind plug 12 and the microphone plug 14 shown in FIG. 3 it is possible to install the hollow tailpiece button 1 once in the string instrument. This hollow tailpiece button 1 can then remain in the string instrument forever.
- the microphone 3 is held by a microphone plug 14 which is the same as the blind plug_2.
- the blind plug 11 can be used to close the opening in the hollow tailpiece button 1 if none Reinforcement is desired, so that this new hollow string holder button 1 does not differ from a conventional tailpiece button.
- each string instrument only has to be converted in one time, the installation and removal of the microphone 3 is carried out very quickly can be used and different microphone types can be used at any time.
- a microphone can of course also be used, which can be held even in the hollow seat holder button 1.
- the microphone itself is expediently provided with an external thread and black eloxed.
- a screw connection and a clamping connection ⁇ can be provided.
- a transmitter unit for wireless transmission can also be used as an amplifier.
- This system is generally applicable for all string instruments that are equipped with a tailpiece button or can be equipped with such a string.
