Definitions

  • the invention relates to a voice post and a tuning pole tool set and a method for mounting the voice stick in particular in a stringed instrument.
  • US 5,208,408 A describes a height-adjustable prong made up of several parts.
  • a first and a second component wherein the first component has a bore.
  • the second component has a post that matches the dimensions in width and length of the bore of the first component.
  • the items may be plugged together that a height of the voice stick can be set in a range of a few millimeters by means of between discs of different sizes. It is cumbersome to adjust the height, as to the voice post must be repeatedly installed and removed.
  • the present invention has the object to facilitate the installation of such a Stimmstocks. This object is achieved by a prong tool set for installation of a reed between the ceiling and the bottom of the stringed instrument with the features of claim 6.
  • a voice post in particular for stringed instruments, which is composed of two or more voice post components and has pivotable end pieces on its end faces.
  • the second voice post component further comprises a threaded portion and the first part of the voice memorandum an internal thread corresponding to the threaded portion, so that the voice post components can be screwed together and thus adjusted in height to each other.
  • the threaded portion has a fine thread.
  • a scale with an equidistant graduation is arranged on one of the two or more post components, the division of the scale corresponding to the pitch of the fine thread.
  • the Stimmstock can also be used in any kind of stringed instruments, also in historical instruments or in plucked instruments or in other musical instruments with a reed, and can advantageously be used retrospectively.
  • This post can, in that it is precisely adjustable in height, especially be retrofitted.
  • the precise adjustment of the height of the peg makes it possible to harmonize the vibrations of the instrument's top and bottom, significantly improving its sound characteristics and internal stability.
  • the dimensions of the voice block can be adapted to suit violin, viola, violoncello, double bass.
  • a pitch in a range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm, preferably 0.8 mm and for a cello a pitch in a range of 1 mm to 1, 5 mm, preferably 1, 25 mm be provided.
  • the scale can be printed in high contrast on film and also be sized so that it covers an open portion of the threaded portion.
  • the threaded section can be reliably protected from dirt.
  • the invention provides in a development that the voice post components made of fiber-reinforced plastic, preferably made of carbon (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) can exist.
  • This material has the advantage that a fine thread can be cut with a small pitch.
  • the prior art could not provide such a fine scale classification, as in the previously used materials such. B. wood, no exact fine thread could be cut.
  • the surface of the machined carbon has a certain roughness, which prevents the playing of the instrument can adjust a set voice pole, since the thread has a high frictional force under the pressure of the strings.
  • Materials with a plastic matrix of thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin or thermoplastic materials with variable fiber content can be used.
  • the voice post is substantially cylindrical. It may have two or more attachment portions which have a polygonal cross-section, preferably octagonal. Such a cross-section can be well with a tool include, even through the narrow F holes of a violin can be adjusted so the post also still in its length. However, it is also possible to realize other cross-sections, for example, hexagonal or ten-cornered.
  • each end piece has a part-spherical section and a flat end surface.
  • a part-spherical recess may be provided on the end sides of the voice stick, in which the part-spherical section is received.
  • the tail can be tiltably mounted in the recess.
  • the flat end surface can fit flat against the tilted wall of the ceiling or floor, which in particular on the inside of the soft spruce wood ceiling produces no impression or the ceiling can be damaged.
  • the invention may further provide that the part-spherical recess for attachment of the end piece on the edge has a flanging.
  • the recess and the respective end piece may have magnetic fastening means which are poled to one another such that the end piece can be held magnetically within the recess. These fasteners are used to hold the movable end pieces captive during assembly and a first positioning.
  • an inventive prong tool set for mounting the above-described voice block between the ceiling and the bottom of a stringed instrument comprises in addition to the voice post one or more adjustment tool (s), each having a fork portion, a shaft and a holding portion, in particular in the form of a loop.
  • the shaft is arcuate to reach the respective attachment portions of the voice block and has a length corresponding to at least a length of a distance corresponding to a predetermined first string instrument F hole to a predetermined position on a string instrument bottom.
  • the voice pole can be easily reached and adjusted at the predetermined position below a right foot of a bridge.
  • a predetermined position within the meaning of the invention is an area in the interior of the instrument, below the right foot of the web, ie usually the tonfriendlyen string of the instrument, eg. For violins of the E string, in about 5 mm lower than the position the bridge is located.
  • As an alternative adjustment tool can be used for the here presented also a traditionally used Stimmstocksetzer, wherein a gripping area of the Stimmstocksetzers corresponds to the gripping area of the setting tools.
  • the kit may include an insertable insertion tool for insertion into the string instrument, the insertion tool having an angled shaft and a forceps portion.
  • the insertion tool may comprise an actuator in the form of a spring-loaded punch.
  • the forceps section may be a simple forceps with two forceps jaws. If larger voice sticks, eg. For cello or double bass are used, the forceps portion of the insertion tool may be a double forceps, and thus have a total of four jaws. This allows the vocal pole to be held securely and carefully inserted into the instrument through the first F-hole.
  • the tool set according to the invention in addition to an installation during the construction of the string instrument of the vocal can be readily used also after the installation of web and strings.
  • the mentioned adjustment tools reach by their curved shape to reach the points within the string instrument in a suitable manner.
  • the tuning post does not have to be removed again and again, due in particular to the slope or curvature of the ceiling and the floor, but can remain in place. An instrument maker can thus save additional, time-consuming work steps.
  • the shank of the adjusting tools and the angled shank of the insertion tool can be wrapped with a plastic.
  • this may be a plastic, which is also used for heat shrink tubing.
  • the delicate side edges of the F holes and the wooden, painted ceiling of the string instrument can be spared.
  • a color distinction of the plastic sheath can be provided depending on the type of instrument.
  • the insertion tool can be generally black, and setting tools for violins red and for violas yellow. The colors are free to choose.
  • the first adjustment tool may have a longer shaft than the second adjustment tool.
  • the voice pole can thus be optimally positioned, since this is usually placed below the pitch of the highest string of the stringed instrument and thus closer to an F-hole than to the other F-hole.
  • the shanks of the tools can also be the same length, wherein they can have a different bending radius. The voice post can thus be easily and precisely installed.
  • a method according to the invention for mounting the above-described voice block can be carried out by means of the above-described vocal-tool set in a stringed instrument.
  • the voice pole is provided and preset at a predetermined height, which is predetermined by the distance between the ceiling and the bottom of the stringed instrument.
  • the height between the ceiling and the floor can be measured by means of a sound-pencil internal button. If an old, wooden sound post is replaced, the strings can first be removed and the wooden tuning stick removed.
  • the length of the voice block according to the invention could be adjusted according to the length of the wooden voice block.
  • the insertion tool is used to insert the vocal guide through the first F-hole of the prank instrument and to position the prone post at a predetermined position within the prune instrument. Due to its pre-set length, the voice pole is easily wedged between the ceiling and the floor.
  • the first adjustment tool or alternatively a Stimmstocksetzer can be taken to help.
  • the scale is visible through the first or the second F-hole, with the voice post should be used so that the scale line through the first F-hole can be seen well. Then the tools can be removed from the instrument, the strings are stretched or tuned to pitch and acoustically tested.
  • the fork portion of the first adjusting tool is inserted into the second F-hole and held with the first adjusting tool on the first mounting portion of the first mounting portion and thus the first voice stamp component. Further, the fork portion of the second adjustment tool is inserted into the first F-hole and the second adjustment tool includes the second attachment portion.
  • a stepwise rotation of the second voice post component according to the scale whereby the flat end surface of the end pieces is pressed or relaxed on the floor and ceiling of the string instrument. Pressing or relaxing here means that by extending or correspondingly shortening of the vocal cord, the tension that the voice pole applies to the ceiling and the floor is increased or decreased. The rotation takes place until an optimal sound result is achieved, after which the instrument can be played after each rotation.
  • the device according to the invention relates to a vocal head 1 for stringed instruments.
  • the voice post 1 in a lower portion of the figure, a first voice post component 2 with a first attachment portion 9a. Further, the voice pole 1 has a second voice block component 3 with a second mounting portion 9b.
  • the attachment portions 9a, 9b are octagonal in cross-section to be well grasped by a tool and also by a few degrees against each other to be moved or rotated.
