Definitions

  • This invention is about the improvement of a specific part called “bocal" of the musical instrument called “bassoon”.
  • the invention is mainly on the innovation that allows tuning without disjoining and rejoining the parts of the bassoon with the help of a single bocal and a connecting adjustment apparatus instead of four different bocals and thus facilitating the tuning process.
  • Music in its widest description is giving the sounds a certain form with meaningful vibrations. It is the art of reciting certain thoughts and emotions by harmonic sounds and within certain rules. In other words, music is a form of art in which the sound and the silence are expressed in a pre-determined time interval. It is the one and only language that everyone understands and all is able to comprehend. Music is a field of art that directly addresses to the emotions without discriminating on language or race.
  • Music is composed of four main elements: pitch, intensity, duration and timbre.
  • the pitch expresses how “low” or “high” a voice is.
  • “High pitched” means the voice is highest pitch.
  • “Low pitched” describes a bass sound.
  • Each musical note has a different pitch. Same notes may also express different pitches depending on the octave they are in.
  • the acoustic unit of the pitch is frequency.
  • Intensity describes the strength of a voice and is also called "nuance".
  • the acoustic unit of intensity is decibel.
  • Duration is the amount of time in which the sound continues. This notion is expressed by the times of 2 (whole, half, quarter and eighth). The dots put next to these values elongates the duration for one half of its initial value.
  • Timbre implies the color of the voice. For instance, the difference between a violin and a flute playing the same note from the same octave, with the same intensity and for the same duration is due to the timbre difference. This element is the most complex among the other four elements. Timbre varies acoustically depending on the harmonic structure of the sound.
  • Bassoon is a wind instrument made of wood and has a very important place in today's western world, especially in orchestras. This instrument is derived from "Curtal” which is a single pieced instrument with double reed, encountered in Europe of 16th century. Sound interval of bassoon is 3.5 octave and it is made of maple wood and metal joints. Bassoon is the developed version of a member folded in two and carved as a cone. Normal length of a bassoon is 1.3 meters; however this reaches 2.5 meters when the joints are opened.
  • Bassoon besides being used solo in the orchestras, is also used together with clarinet to create bass sounds or with cello to strengthen the sounds of wind instruments. Therefore a need for different tones occurs in bassoon, depending on the changes of tones of the piece and the spaciousness and the acoustic properties of the place of performance.
  • Bocal attached to the main body of the instrument, is used to answer this need. Different sound tones can be produced with different types of bocals. Different bocals have to be used regarding the different factors mentioned above in order for the performer to catch the desired tone and tuning. This change is mostly required to be done on the stage, during performance of the piece.
  • This invention presented in this written description allows fine-tuning of the bassoon during the performance of the piece thus eliminating the intonation problem. Thanks to this new bocal system, the performer will be able to have all toning levels from 0 (highest pitch), 1 (middle pitch), 2 (bass) to 3 (most bass) with a single bocal.
  • WO 03012773 A1 discloses a bassoon comprising a bocal, a reed, an adjustment member placed between the bocal and the reed and which can be moved back and forth for tuning, wherein a first end of the adjustment member is connected to the bocal and a second end of the adjustment member is connected to the reed, and a fixing element for fixing the position of the adjustment member within the bocal when the right and appropriate position is found.
  • This invention is about the new generation of bassoons that answers the needs mentioned above, eliminates all the disadvantages and brings in new advantages.
  • Prior purpose of the invention is to shorten the time and decrease the effort needed for the tuning process and also to realize the harmony of the tonality.
  • Second purpose of the invention is to prevent the artist from distraction caused by the necessity of the current technique to pause the piece in order to change the bocal. Another purpose can be explained as encouraging the solo use of bassoon by eliminating the bocal changing process carried out to reach tonality and right tuning in the current technique.
  • the last objective of the invention is to decreasing the number of bocals thus decreasing the number of pieces of bassoon and resolving the problems caused by disjoining and rejoining the instrument.
  • the single bocal bassoon contains:
  • This invention aims to solve the problems of intonation of the musical instrument named "bassoon".
  • tone harmony is established by the tuning process.
  • tuning may occur as a major problem in wind instruments.
  • this invention eliminates all the problems encountered during the process of tuning and tone harmonization in bassoons.
  • bocal is attached to the tenor joint (6) with a tenor connecting lever (7).
  • Tenor joint is connected to the u-shaped boot joint with the bass (long) joint.
  • the reed (4) is attached to an adjustment member.
  • the bocal and the reed are connected to each other by installing the conical surfaces (surfaces shown with the angle ⁇ ) as depicted in the Figure 5 .
  • the adjustment member of this invention four bocals that exist in the current technique are excluded. The tuning and the tone adjustments will be done by changing the position of the adjustment member (3) within the bocal.
