Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lute with a bulbous and towards an apparent tip tapered body and with a neck attached to the side of the tip on the so-called stick or block.
  • This neck has a fingerboard which is fretted.
  • the neck carries a peg box at its free end.
  • the sound body consists of an arched back of the lute, the edge of which is always curved outwards between one side of the neck and the other side and which lies on one level. Furthermore, the sound body consists of a ceiling, the edge of which is connected to the edge of the back of the lute.
  • This blanket is provided on its underside facing the back of the lute with spreaders or fan beams, which are referred to below as strips, and cross beams.
  • the blanket On its upper side opposite the underside, the blanket is provided with a tailpiece which is connected to the blanket in a third of a center line of the blanket most distant from the neck on this center line and in its longitudinal extent transverse to the center line.
  • Several strings are stretched between the peg box and the tailpiece. In the half of the midline near the neck, one or more openings are made in the area of the strings between the top and bottom of the cover.
  • the sound body consists of an arched back of the lute, the edge of which is always curved outwards between one side of the neck and the other side.
  • the edge of the back of the lute lies on one level.
  • the back of the lute is covered with a blanket, the edge of which is connected to the edge of the back of the lute.
  • the ceiling like almost all parts of the lute, is made of wood.
  • the grain direction of the ceiling is parallel to its center line. This means that early and late wood of the ceiling form almost straight stripes that are essentially parallel to the center line of the ceiling.
  • the well-known lute is provided with seven crossbeams that lie transversely to the center line and thus in particular transversely to the grain direction of the wood of the ceiling.
  • the predominant surface of the underside of the ceiling is provided with crossbeams.
  • Fan beams are only arranged in the quarter of the surface on the underside facing away from the neck.
  • the central longitudinal lines of these fan beams have a common intersection, if any, that lies in the third of the center line of the top surface facing away from the neck.
  • the parts referred to as strips having only about 1/10 of the cross-sectional area of the parts referred to as bars.
  • the tailpiece is attached to the top of the blanket.
  • six strings are tuned in the tuning E - A - d - g - h - e 'between the tailpiece and the peg box located at the free end of the holder.
  • the lute has become one of the most important sound tools in Western music culture since the 15th century. Many well-known composers left works that were written for the lute. These works, however, can hardly be reproduced on the guitar that plays the role of proxy, or only inadequately, which is why they have largely been forgotten.
  • a string instrument is described in US Pat. No. 1,361,182 which has a body which has a substantially closed frame which surrounds an upper and a lower side. The top and bottom are each convex. This instrument has no crossbars or bars and the body differs from the typical lute shape, so that this instrument will have a sound that differs significantly from that of a lute.
  • German utility model G 88 08 073.0 describes an instrument that reproduces the structure of a guitar described above.
  • this object is achieved in that the ceiling of the lute including the lute holder is curved outwards, the greatest distance between the curved ceiling and the plane being at least 2 mm. Furthermore, a crossbar-free surface is provided on the underside of the ceiling, which corresponds to a first partial surface, for example between the tailpiece and the region of the edge facing away from the neck and a second partial surface of approximately the same size adjacent to the first partial surface between the mutually opposite edge regions.
  • the crossbar-free surface is either designed as a strip-free surface or provided with center-symmetrically arranged strips.
  • the surface area on the underside of the blanket, which lies under the tailpiece has little or no stress, which, however, does not hinder sound entry and sound propagation.
  • the covering if it exists, consists of strips which run essentially in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the central axis.
  • the course of the strips is to be understood so that their central longitudinal lines form at most an angle to the central axis that is less than 45 °.
  • the strips run in a fan shape in such a way that their central longitudinal axes intersect at a fictitious point on the central axis of the ceiling or its extension in the direction of the neck.
  • an even number of strips is provided. This ensures that the central axis remains unpopulated.
  • an odd number of strips is provided. Since the strips are basically arranged symmetrically to the central axis of the ceiling, an odd number of strips ensures that the central axis is also always occupied.
  • the number of bars three, five, seven or nine is particularly suitable as an odd number.
  • the thickness of the ceiling decreases towards the edge, at least in the area of the crossbar-free surface. This creates a high proportion of bass notes.
  • the invention can also be further developed in that at least two strips run under contact-free at least the crossbar, which is closest to the crossbar-free surface. This is done in that the crossbeam has a tunnel-shaped recess at the point of intersection between the crossbeam and the bar. This avoids contact between the bar and crossbeam and enables sound to be introduced via the bars into the area of the area that is provided with crossbars.
  • the fingerboard is extended to the ceiling by a ceiling section.
  • the arrangement of the frets continues on this section. This arrangement makes it possible that the higher strings can be played with higher notes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a lute according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the underside of the ceiling of the lute according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the lute according to the invention.
  • the lute 1 has a bulbous sound body 2. This is designed so that it runs towards an apparent tip 3.
  • a neck 4 is attached to the tip 3.
  • This neck 4 has a fingerboard 5, which is provided with frets, not shown. At its free end, the neck 4 carries a peg box 6.
  • the sound body 2 itself consists of a curved lute back 7.
  • the edge 8 of the lute back 7 is always curved outwards in its course between one side 9 of the neck 4 and its other side 10.
  • the edge 9 lies on a plane which is indicated in FIG. 3 by the reference number 11.
  • the sound body 2 consists of a ceiling 12, the edge 13 of which is connected to the edge 8 of the lute back 7.
  • the blanket 12 On its top 14, the blanket 12 is provided with a tailpiece 15.
  • the tailpiece 15 is arranged on a center line 16 of the top 12, namely in its longitudinal extent transversely to the center line 16. In this position the tailpiece 15 is connected to the top 12, for example by means of an adhesive connection.
  • the cover 12 including the tailpiece 15 is curved by a so-called arrow height 20.
  • This arrow height is 2 mm or more in this exemplary embodiment.
  • a crossbar-free surface 21 is provided on the underside of the ceiling 12.
  • This crossbar-free surface 21 consists of a first partial surface 22 and a second partial surface 23.
  • the first partial surface extends approximately between the string holder 15 and the region 24 of the edge 13 facing away from the neck.
  • the second partial surface 23 adjoins the first partial surface 22 and is approximately the same size as the first partial surface 22.
  • the second partial surface extends between mutually opposite edge regions 25 and 26.
  • strips 27 are arranged in a center symmetrical manner. Their central longitudinal axes 28 intersect at a fictitious point on the extension of the central axis 16 in the direction of the neck 4.
  • a total of seven strips 27 are provided in the exemplary embodiment. However, another odd number of strips 27 is also possible.
  • Five crossbeams 29 are arranged in the remaining surface area of the underside of the ceiling.
  • the rosette 19 is secured with small securing bars 30 against being pressed in.
  • the fingerboard 5 is extended to the ceiling 12 by a ceiling section.
  • the ceiling section has frets.
  • the ceiling 12 is reinforced under the ceiling section on its underside with a piece of hardwood 31.
