Definitions

  • Stringed musical instruments with a soundboard such as guitar, violin or piano are known.
  • the soundboard is connected to the strings through a transducer, bridge type or any other equivalent device, and is thus excited when vibrating the strings.
  • the soundboard then radiates in the ambient air to produce a sound in correspondence with the vibration of the strings.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an instrument for string music and soundboard having a homogeneous sound emission over a given frequency range.
  • a string and soundboard musical instrument in which the soundboard is excited by the strings by means of a transducer and is associated with differential stiffening means. defining on the soundboard at least two zones having complementary vibratory behavior, the two zones being separated by a slot extending in a fron ⁇ RESPECT common to the two zones.
  • the transducer extends astride the slot to be connected to the two areas of the soundboard, so that the two zones are excited simultaneously when one of the strings is attacked.
  • the soundboard is stiffened so as to have at least two zones, both excited simultaneously, whose vibratory behavior is complementary.
  • that of the zones which will present a hollow of answer, and thus which will be able to emit only a muffled or reduced sound will be helped by the other zone, which on the contrary will present a full of answer, so that this another zone will emit a sound that will compensate for the weakness of the sound emitted by the first zone.
  • the different areas of the soundboard are excited simultaneously. It is thus possible to take full advantage of the complementary vibratory behaviors of the two zones.
  • the excitation of a zone of the sounding board by the half of the transducer can indirectly cause the excitation of the second zone but then the sound emitted by this second zone will be very attenuated compared to the one emitted by the first zone.
  • the sound of the musical instrument is felt to be fuller over an enlarged frequency range.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a simulation showing the overall impedance of a guitar according to the invention (curve A) and of a classical guitar (curve B), that is to say from a guitar without a slot to a table harmony, depending on the frequency. It is clearly visible in this figure that the radiation is more uniform for the frequency range concerned for the guitar according to the invention than for the classical guitar.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic front view of a guitar according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a view of the inner face of the soundboard, with its dam
  • Figure 3 is a graph showing the impedance of each of the areas of the soundboard of the guitar of Figure 1 as a function of frequency.
  • the invention is here illustrated in application to a guitar. It is obvious that the invention applies to any exciting string instrument, via a transducer, a soundboard, such as a violin or a piano.
  • the guitar illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises, in a manner known per se, a sound box 1 closed in its posterior part by a soundboard 2 on which is attached a bridge 3. Ropes are stretched between the end of a neck 5 integral with the body 1 and the bridge 3. The strings have not been shown here for clarity. The attack of one or more strings causes the vibration thereof, this vibration being transmitted via the bridge 3 to the soundboard 2 which itself starts to vibrate and thus radiate in the ambient air. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the soundboard 2 is stiffened by a dam 6 made of dimensions 7 (only some of them are referenced) glued to the internal face of the soundboard.
  • the dam 6 is designed to define on the soundboard two zones 2A and 2B which have distinct but complementary vibratory behaviors, as will be explained below.
  • the two zones 2A, 2B each extend between the peripheral edge of the soundboard 2 and a central axis of symmetry X. It is immediately apparent that the dam 6 has an asymmetrical configuration, conferring on each of the two zones 2A, 2B, singular vibratory behavior.
  • a slot 8 has been made in the soundboard 2 along the border between the two zones 2A, 2B, in this case the axis of symmetry X.
  • the slot extends here from the hearing up to 'close to the edge of the soundboard.
  • Each of the zones 2A, 2B has a free edge which is stiffened by an attached stiffener (9A and 9B respectively).
  • the soundboard no longer has a hearing or rosette, the slot 8 taking the place of it.
  • the zones 2A and 2B are provided with a complementary vibratory behavior so that, at least in a given frequency range, a trough of Frequency response of one of the areas corresponds to a full frequency response response.
  • a trough of Frequency response of one of the areas corresponds to a full frequency response response.
  • This arrangement allows a more uniform radiation throughout the frequency range concerned, and gives the instrument a fuller, more homogeneous sound.
  • the vibratory behavior of the two zones may be adjusted so that one responds better to the low frequencies, and the other responds better to the high frequencies.
  • the soundboard 2 and the dam 6 are arranged to install in the soundboard, after tension of the strings, a state of static stresses close to a critical state of buckling, so that the table of harmony in an equilibrium configuration at the limit of the buckling.
  • This configuration promotes the appearance of non-linear vibrations of the soundboard, allowing an enrichment of the sound spectrum and giving rise to a more dynamic dynamic.
  • the two zones 2A, 2B are of superimposable shapes but are rendered dissymmetrical from the point of view of their frequential response by the use of an asymmetrical dam
  • any other disposition can be used to define on the soundboard two distinct frequency behavior zones.
