Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stimmb ⁇ re Kl ⁇ rinettenbirne to the arrangement between a mouthpiece and a top of a clarinet, the clarinet bulb divided into an upper part and a lower part and for connecting these two parts a collar is provided by means of which the axial distance between the upper part and lower part is changeable.
  • the clarinet is one of the family of woodwind instruments. It usually consists of five parts that can be put together: the mouthpiece, the clarinet pear, the top piece, the bottom piece and the funnel. The mating of these five parts usually takes place by means of cork-covered pins and corresponding receptacles for these pins, which have the individual parts at the respective connection points. If all five parts of the clarinet are inserted into one another in such a way that no gaps remain between the individual parts, the passage opening in the interior of the clarinet extends continuously and with a substantially constant inside diameter from the mouthpiece to the clarinet bulb, the top and the bottom to towards the funnel.
  • the clarinet bulb in two parts from wood, consisting of an upper part and a lower part, and to form such a sleeve in one piece with a part of the clarinet bulb.
  • a sleeve integrally formed with a part of the clarinet bulb is disclosed, for example, in US 5,249,499.
  • the clarinet bulb described here consists of an upper and a lower part, wherein for connecting the upper and the lower part arranged between these two parts adjusting ring is provided.
  • the upper part is screwed into the adjusting ring, while the lower part is rotatably mounted on the adjusting ring. By turning the adjusting ring, the axial distance between upper and lower part can be changed.
  • a disadvantage of this system is that the upper and lower parts of the clarinet bulb can basically rotate against each other by turning the adjusting ring.
  • the rotatable mounting of the lower part relative to the adjusting ring to avoid moving the lower part upon actuation of the adjusting ring.
  • the lower part may oppose as far as possible no resistance to the adjusting ring during a rotation thereof.
  • this means that the lower part of the clarinet bulb is extremely easy to rotate in normal game operation relative to the collar and the top of the clarinet bulb, which is highly undesirable.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a tunable clarinet bulb, which can be tuned in a simple manner, without the upper and lower parts of the clarinet bulb rotate against each other.
  • the tunable clarinet bulb according to the invention comprises a passage extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof and is divided into an upper part and a lower part, which can be joined along the longitudinal axis, and an upper part and the lower part connecting collar, by means of which the axial distance between the upper part and lower part is changeable.

  • a part preferably the upper part in one embodiment of the invention comprises a protruding, thin-walled connection sleeve for insertion into the lower part.
  • the inner diameter of this connection sleeve is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the passage opening of the clarinet bulb, so that even when the clarinet bulb is moved apart a passage opening with a substantially constant inner diameter is maintained.
  • the connecting sleeve may be formed separately or integrally with the part.
  • the lower part is preferably made of wood.
  • the lower part of the clarinet bulb according to the invention and the upper part of the clarinet thus made of wood may be integrally formed. As a result, a spigot connection between the lower part and the upper part of the clarinet is saved.
  • the upper part and / or the lower part including the optionally provided connection sleeve made of rubber or of a plastic material are made.
  • the plastic is, for example, polyoxymethylene (POM), but other plastics can also be provided.
  • the upper part and / or the lower part are equipped with a part of the screw thread forming threaded ring.
  • This may be, for example, a metal ring or a plastic ring, which simplifies manufacturing.
  • This threaded ring can be attached to the upper and lower part by e.g. Screwing and / or gluing be attached.
