Abstract

Der Resonanzkörper (3) des Saiteninstrumentes umschliesst Bauteile (6,8), die bewirken, dass die von den Saiten (4,5) über den Steg (1) auf die Decke (2) des Resonanzkörpers (3) eingeleiteten Tonschwingungen zu gegenläufigen bzw. phasenverschobenen Schwingungen des Bodens (11) führen. Hierdurch wird die durch die schwingende (15) Decke (2) auf die im Resonanzkörper (3) eingeschlossene Luft wirkende Pump- und Saugbewegung durch die Tonschwingungen des Bodens (11) ergänzt. Die hierzu im Resonnanzkörper (3) eingeschlossenen Bauteile bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem unterhalb des Steges (1) an zwei Stellen an der Decke (2) anliegenden Hebel (6), einer diesen seitlich am Resonanzkörper (3) abstützenden Stütze (16) und einem Tragbogen (8). Dadurch, dass der Hebel (6) auf den mittleren Bereich des Tragbogens (8) einwirkt, üben seine im Eckbereich zwischen dem Boden (11) und der Zarge (10) anliegenden Enden (7) eine Spreizkraft aus, die zur Aufwärtsbewegung des gewölbten Bodens (11) führt. Somit erhält das Instrument einen volleren und reicheren Klang.

Figure 00000001
The resonance body (3) of the stringed instrument encloses components (6, 8) which cause the sound vibrations introduced by the strings (4,5) via the bridge (1) to the ceiling (2) of the resonance body (3) to run in opposite or opposite directions lead phase-shifted vibrations of the floor (11). As a result, the pumping and suction movement acting through the oscillating (15) ceiling (2) on the air enclosed in the resonance body (3) is supplemented by the sound vibrations of the floor (11). The components enclosed for this purpose in the resonance body (3) essentially consist of a lever (6) lying below the web (1) at two points on the ceiling (2), a support (16) supporting it laterally on the resonance body (3) and a Supporting arch (8). Because the lever (6) acts on the central area of the supporting arch (8), its ends (7) in the corner area between the floor (11) and the frame (10) exert a spreading force which leads to the upward movement of the curved floor (11) leads. This gives the instrument a fuller and richer sound.
