Definitions
- the invention has the task of assertiveness, dynamics, long-sounding and well-responding sound with a wide frequency spectrum, more in one instrument to unite, as was previously possible.
- the invention assumes that it is possible to dispense with an acoustic amplification in an acoustic performance, then a cavity as a Helmholzresonator is not necessary. Furthermore, the invention is based on the fact that two solids, of the same material and with the same mass, but one with a smaller area, has a higher stiffness and a narrower frequency spectrum than the other with the largest possible area , You can now divide this larger area into individual plates and place them in the cavity (s) of an instrument so that the instrument can remain in its original form.
- the invention now combines these two findings so that an instrument body is built with one or more cavities into which or into the plates are built, which are excited via Verbunungen any kind by the side oscillations. Also, the cavities may continue to be equipped with peel holes and the ceiling of the instrument with or without connection to the plates, depending on the desired performance for the desired acoustic performance.
- the plates can be built longitudinally and horizontally or longitudinally and vertically, transversely and horizontally or transversely and vertically, but also obliquely in any direction or at the same time in several directions into the cavity (s).
- the thicknesses of the plates can be chosen freely. Through these variations, the instrument maker can freely design an instrument in its tone. He can thus respond to the different materials and the outer shape and fulfill the sound request of the musician.
- An instrument equipped with such plates in the cavities is electrified superior to an instrument of similar size but without plates in the cavities because it has a longer sounding tone and a higher assertiveness. It is also superior to a solid-body and semi-solid-body instrument as it has a higher dynamic range and a wider frequency range for similar masses.
- This new design extends the previous sound possibilities and brings together the sound wishes of many musicians in one instrument.
- Figure 1 shows an electrified plucking instrument in front view with two pickups and two regulators, a switch and a cable.
- the tailpiece, the fretboard end and two sound holes are recognizable.
- the resonance chambers are shown with a broken line.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of the chambers a and b, respectively.
- FIG. 3 shows a section of the chamber d.
- Cavity c is left as a conventional resonance chamber with sound hole.
- plates are fan-shaped, upright, connected to the wall, floor and ceiling. They vary in their strength in themselves and with each other. Four short plates hit the fifth long plate.
- the chamber b is executed with plates and a sound hole.
- Plates connected only to the floor and run freely towards the ceiling.
- the plates run in different directions and are mounted obliquely to the base.
- In the chamber d are lying plates with beams or blocks connected to each other mounted superimposed, adapted in its basic form to the chamber.
