Definitions
- the specially designed resonant bridge causes the string to vibrate swinging upward when vibrated, and shortened when it swings down.
- the slight side angle and the compensating curve of the string channel produce the string movement described above.
- Fig. 1 Thus, the resonance of the sound is extended. It creates overtones. This is achieved through an aluminum bar, (other materials such as plastics, ceramics or other metals can also be used), which has for each string individually tailored to sound, string thickness and intonation string channel.
- Fig. 2 By inserting a pen, 4 and 5 , in the aluminum bridge, the resonance bridge is tilted, so you can change the angle to the string, and adapt to peculiarities such as the guitar design. After adjustment, the bridge can be fixed with the screws.
- Fig. 3a Conventional bridges can be easily replaced by the specially designed resonance bridge.
- Fig. 6 Conventional bridges can be easily replaced by the specially designed resonance bridge.

Abstract
Aufleg- und kippbarer Brückenersatz für Saiteninstrumente, welcher für jede Saite einen genau angepassten Kanal besitzt. Bei Schwingung der Saite führt die exakt unter der Saite verlaufende Kurve zu einem Resonanz und Obertonreichen Klang. Durch den Kippmechanismus der Brücke kann der Klang und die Intonation angepasst werden.Insertable and tiltable bridge replacement for string instruments, which has a precisely adapted channel for each string. When the string vibrates, the curve running exactly under the string leads to a resonance and overtone-rich sound. The tilting mechanism of the bridge allows the sound and intonation to be adjusted.
Description
Die eigens konstruierte Resonanzbrücke bewirkt, dass die Saite wenn sie in Schwingung gebracht wird, nach oben schwingend sich verlängert, und gekürzt wird, wenn sie nach unten schwingt. Der leichte Seitenwinkel und die kompensierende Kurve des Saitenkanals erzeugen die oben beschriebene Saitenbewegung.
