Definitions
- strings for musical instruments have a continuous one Core made of steel wire, steel cable, natural fiber (mostly sheep or cow gut), Plastic (monofilament or multifilament with many individual fibers) or a combination from these materials.
- the soul is with one or more wires wound from metal or another material.
- wire spinning is often replaced by silk or textile spinning.
- the string can only consist of the soul itself, e.g. Steel wire at the high E string of the violin or the high strings on the steel side guitar or gut with the pure gut string of the high E string of the violin.
- EP 0 120 363 A2 also includes so-called end heads for attachment shown at the end of the string. These end heads are used to hold the string the fasteners of the musical element.
- end heads are used to hold the string the fasteners of the musical element.
- Strings with end heads are also from GB-PS 237,342 known.
- the object of the invention is to provide a string for a musical instrument, due to the conflicting requirements for such a string can be better met and in particular the risk of breaking the string in the End area of the string is reduced. This is achieved according to the invention. that at least at one end of the tone generating portion of the string Section of the string-extending clamping section is attached, by means of which the string can be connected to the musical instrument, the sound-generating Section and the clamping section made of different materials consist.
- the string on the tuning machine or on the tailpiece of the Musical instruments can be attached.
- This clamping section which on the Sound of the string no longer exerts an influence, can be made from a notch tolerant Material exist and can be dimensioned practically arbitrarily.
- the clamping section can consist of a steel wire, while the sound-producing section is a plastic or mineral fiber core or has a combination thereof.
- a piece of fabric tube can be provided in which is both the clamping section and the sound generating section pass.
- This piece of fabric hose can be lace-up or braided in this way be formed and have such a diameter that it at a Tensile stress on the two inserted sections contracts automatically and secures the two sections against pulling out.
- the connection can be secured with an adhesive.
- the clamping section even from a fabric hose into which the End of the tone producing section of the string protrudes.
- This fabric tube can in turn be designed such that it is subject to tensile stress automatically against the inserted end of the sound generating section clamped and / or the connection can be made using an adhesive or be saved.
- the rope or hose-like clamping section is advantageously flexible trained and extended the also flexible tone generating section.
- end heads known from the prior art are used only for attachment the string on the corresponding fastening elements of the musical instrument, however, they do not constitute extensions of the sound producing section in the between the fastening elements of the musical instrument, free area of the string.
- the string instrument shown in Fig. 1 includes several over a resonance body 7 stretched strings 1. At a first end of the strings 1 are these are attached to a tailpiece 3, at their second end they are on pegs 5 a tuning mechanism 6 set.
- the vertebrae 5 could have a hole, through which the end of string 1 is inserted, which in its subsequent Area around the vertebra 5 several times.
- the vertebrae 5 are rotatable via actuators 8, whereby the string tension and so that the tone of the string can be changed.
- String 1 comprises a central sound generating section 9, which in the area between the upper saddle 4 and the web 2 and a little over the upper saddle 4 in the direction of the vertebra 5 and runs somewhat over the web 2 in the direction of the tailpiece 3.
- the tone-generating section 9 of the string is formed by a core 10, which with a braid 11 is surrounded.
- the core 10 made of steel, a natural fiber (for example sheep or cow gut), plastic or mineral fiber consist.
- Metal wires are usually used for the spinning 11 used.
- the end regions of the soul 10 remain free from the covering 11.
- a fabric tube is pushed over each of these end regions of the core 10, which forms a clamping section of the string.
- the fabric hose is made from lace or braided and has one adapted to the diameter of the core 10 Inside diameter, with an insertion of the end of the core 10 into the fabric tube is currently possible.
- the angle of release of the chuck section 12 forming fabric hose is chosen so that the fabric hose with the application of a tensile force acting in the longitudinal direction contracts or strives to reduce its inner diameter.
- the core 10 is when the string 1 is stretched in the clamping section 12 forming fabric hose set.
- an adhesive bonding of the core 10 to the fabric tube forming the clamping section 12 provided, for example a super glue can be used is.
- the fabric hose is provided with a loop 13, whereby the string 1 can be attached to the tailpiece 3 in a simple manner.
- the clamping section could 12 consist of a piece of wire. This could be done in different ways be connected to the tone generating portion of the string, for example via a piece of fabric tubing into which the end of the tone generating section 9 and the end of the wire section forming the clamping section 12 is inserted are that can be additionally glued to this piece of fabric hose. Also other connections between the sound generating section and the or the clamping section (s) come into question, for example soldering. Furthermore, it would be conceivable and possible to remove the clamping section from the stringing wire the string core by forming this over the end of the string core is also extended.
- a string according to the invention especially in the case of very expensive string souls such as sheep intestine falling advantage of a saving in the string core of the tone-generating section.
- a fabric hose that connects the sound producing section of the String with the clamping section 12 is suitable or even the clamping section can form, for example, consist of polyester or nylon.
