Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a soundboard for stringed musical instruments.
  • the free soundboard allows you to make mute, dynamic and reduced size without sound box.
  • the soundboard is united a belt (fishplates) around its entire perimeter, and this belt is itself secured to the bottom of the instrument also over its entire perimeter.
  • the whole forms a sound box whose air communicates with the outside through one or more openings generally made on the table (gills).
  • volume air from a sound box topped by a table of harmony corresponds to a resonant frequency.
  • the instrument thus constructed generates high frequencies located in the range of the cello and not the double bass. Moreover, amplifying this type of instrument does not avoid problems feedback due to the sound box, except to use sensors, as in the previous example, generating again a sound radically different from the desired acoustic sound.
  • a musical instrument built with the table of free harmony gives its user a touch, vibrational sensations and dynamics identical to those that he obtains with a stringed musical instrument from normal size.
  • an amplification by means of an electrodynamic contact sensor placed on the free soundboard is optionally added, it then replaces the sound box.
  • Air circulates freely around the soundboard free and the air volume is infinite. The air is plus a parameter intervening in the amplitude of the frequencies.
  • the free soundboard has more or less the same mass and the same spring as a traditional table while occupying much less area.
  • the shape and thickness of this table may be irregular in order to modify the stamp and / or the dynamics that we want to achieve.
  • the free soundboard is a plus plate long as wide which rests by the two ends of its length, on two blocks integral with the body of the instrument of music. Apart from its bearing surface on the blocks, the free soundboard remains suspended in the void without any direct contact with the body of the instrument.
  • the assembly of the table surface on its blocks supports can be isolated by a material different from the two elements.
  • the assembly can be carried out by embedding, by full or partial support, or even in abutment, in order to obtain different sounds.
  • the soundboard is in any case maintained motionless and integral with the support blocks by a system of fixing adapted to the materials used for their manufacture.
  • the free soundboard offers resistance to the pressure of the strings by one or more sound bars and / or one or more reinforcement bars and / or one or more souls. In the case of the presence of one or more souls, the free soundboard is in indirect contact with the body of the musical instrument.
  • the free soundboard allows the use of easels of standard dimensions and proportions in violin making.
  • the free soundboard or its elements can be made of different materials depending on the sounds sought (wood, synthetic or composite materials, metals, etc.).
  • a string bass designed on the principle invented, will serve as a non-limiting example.
  • the bars are positioned directly above each other legs of the easel, under the table, parallel to the axis longitudinal of the instrument body according to the procedures traditional violin making.
  • the low side table (6) is wide and its mass is larger than the acute side table (7), it is equipped a soundbar (10) glued in force with sufficient pliers to round its profile and resist pressure some ropes. After tensioning the strings, the profile of the final position of the table is straight. It thus generates low frequencies.
  • the acute side table (7) is narrow and its mass is less important than the low side table (6), it is fitted with a leaner bar (11).
  • the harmony bar (11) is glued in force with enough pliers to round off its profile and withstand the pressure of the ropes. After tensioning the strings, the profile of the final position of the table is straight. It thus generates high frequencies.
  • Figure 1 shows a profile view of the principle invented, with the free soundboard (1) in support of each end of its length on a support block (2) integral of the body mass of the instrument (3) and a bar harmony (4).
  • Figure 2 shows the invented principle applied a double bass seen from the front equipped with two tables of free harmony (6), (7).
  • Figure 3 shows Figure 2 in longitudinal section according to x-x 'in view from y to y'.
  • Figure 4 shows Figure 2 in section transverse along y-y 'in view from x' to x.
