Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of microphones for musical instruments and especially pianos and accordions.
  • the present invention relates to a special type of microphone stand which is placed on the instrument in positions which avoid external placements that hardly match with a clean sound being picked up.
  • a microphone is placed on a stand at the foot of the piano. Same thing happens to equip an accordion with a microphone.
  • This mode of recording involves two different types of problems: somebody can hit the stand and displace it changing its position, which would change the quality of the sound being picked up; another problem derives from the fact that the microphone, positioned on the ground, in addition to the piano sound, picks up all the background noise coming from the stage, such as the resonances from the understage, that muddy the picked up sound.
  • the present invention relates to a microphone stand (10) which can be applied to grand and upright pianos.
  • the stand (10) is placed directly on the lid of the piano through a clamp (16): the telescopic arm (11) allows the microphone to be positioned both within the harmonic box of the piano and externally, for picking up a broader sound.
  • the clamp (16) and the telescopic rod (11) are connected together by two pins, namely an pivot pin (13) and a junction pin (15), connected to each other through a suspension spring (14) which eliminates the vibrations.
  • the stand (10) is a telescopic rod (11) and is positioned inside the piano by means of a clamp (16) which is clamped directly to the open lid of the piano: in this way the microphone, that is joined to the rod (11) by means of a special coupling for universal microphone holder (12), can pick up the sound produced directly from the piano, without any danger of being displaced and/or hit.
  • the stand (10) can be placed in any preferred position across the lid, so that the microphone can pick up the sound from any point of the harmonic box.
  • the clamp (16) can be manufactured with any material suitable to dampen the sounds to avoid even the slightest vibration, such as rubber or other material functional for the purpose.
  • the stand (10) consists of a belt (17), preferably an elastic one, with a pass-through ratchet mechanism (19) which is applied to the piano lid and to which a support (18) is anchored, where the pin (15) supporting the stand (10) for the microphones is screwed on.
  • This embodiment also allows the microphone to be placed inside the harmonic box of the piano and, by making it slide through the support (18), to position it at the point where it is believed that the sound is picked up at the best.
  • the same inventive idea - especially the one with the belt (17) -, can also be applied to an accordion, for which picking up the sound is known to be very difficult: indeed, currently, the only way to provide an accordion with a microphone is to apply the microphone to a floor stand but, as already mentioned, all the more so in the case of the accordion, this causes the a sound picked up very roughly, because the accordion player, even more than the piano player, walks on foot, moving from the microphone focus, and thus the quality of the sound being picked up changes greatly.
  • the microphones are attached directly to the instrument, they harmoniously follow the movement of the body of the accordionist and manage to keep the focus of the microphone always in the same spot, ensuring a smooth and clean picking up of the sound.
  • Both the two models of stand (10), either the one with the clamp (16) or the one with the belt (17), are adaptable to any type of microphone.
