Definitions

  • the invention relates to a headpiece for a transverse flute with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a transverse flute with such a headpiece.
  • a flute is constructed in such a way that it is constructed as a straight elongate member as a whole. To play the flute, it is held in an approximately horizontal position.
  • the head joint of the flute is at the level of the flutist's lips, so that he can blow across the blowing hole located in the area of the head joint.
  • the tube extends from there in a horizontal direction, normally to the right side of the flautist. Accordingly, the flautist has to stretch both arms to the right side in order to be able to play the flute.
  • a flute which has an angled headpiece.
  • the headpiece is made up of several straight parts, which are each connected to one another at an angle.
  • the two outermost parts enclose an angle in the range from 115 to 120°. When assembled, this results in an angled shape.
  • To play the flute hold the section with the blowing hole in a horizontal direction.
  • the tube of the flute extends diagonally to the bottom right on the right side of the flutist. Accordingly, the flautist has to stretch both arms to the right side in order to be able to play the flute.
  • a transverse flute which can be held in the center in front of the body, oriented essentially in the vertical direction.
  • the headjoint is made up of three sections: a first curved section, which is connected to the tube of the flute and bent by 90°, a second curved section, which is connected to the first curved section and bent by 180°, and a third straight section Section where the blowing hole is provided and which is arranged as an extension of the second section.
  • a flute with a headpiece which comprises two legs which are connected to one another by a curved neck, so that the first leg with the blowing hole is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tube of the flute. This should enable the flute to be held vertically.
  • a similar solution is also from the document FR 624 703 A known.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop a transverse flute in such a way that it can be played in a relaxed posture and/or it is optimized in terms of the sound field generated.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a headpiece for a flute having the features of independent claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved by a flute having the features of independent claim 12.
  • the invention is based on the finding that with the solutions known from the prior art, either a one-sided posture, a complex hand posture and/or a restricted sound quality must be accepted. Specifically, the right-hand attitude towards lead to postural damage and to a restricted air volume because the respiratory organs are constricted. In addition, due to the orientation of the flute to the right, the sound field generated is also oriented to the right. At the from the document CH-PS 1452 known transverse flute, this can be held essentially vertically oriented in the middle in front of the body. However, this requires an elaborately shaped headpiece with strong curvatures, which is not only complex to manufacture, but also limits the sound quality due to the strong curvatures.
  • a headpiece for a transverse flute is therefore shaped in such a way that a flutist can assume a straight posture and at the same time the sound quality can be maintained or even improved.
  • a headpiece according to the invention for a transverse flute has two legs which are arranged at an acute angle to one another.
  • the head piece is essentially L-shaped, with the two legs not being oriented at right angles to one another, but enclosing an acute angle.
  • the blowing hole can be provided in the region of the first leg, while the second leg can be connected to the tube of the flute.
  • the tube follows as an extension of the second leg.
  • the first limb with the blowing hole is held in a generally horizontal orientation. Due to the acute angle between the first limb and the second limb, the flute runs, starting with the second limb - in relation to the vertical direction in the middle of the body - from one side to the other side, e.g. B. from top left to bottom right.
  • z. B. the left hand on the upper, located on the left portion of the Flute while the right hand grasps the lower, right-hand section of the flute.
  • This enables an (at least almost) symmetrical arm position and thus an overall symmetrical body position.
  • a sound field can be generated which is essentially symmetrical on both sides. i.e. the flutist himself can perceive the sound with both ears in the same way.
  • the angle between the two legs is preferably chosen so that the flutist can adopt a position that is as symmetrical as possible. This depends in particular on the length of the legs, but also on the dimensions of the other parts of the flute for which the head joint according to the invention is to be used. According to one embodiment of the invention, the angle between the two legs is between 50 and 80° and preferably between 70 and 75°. Specifically, the value can be 72°. With such a design of the head joint, an at least approximately balanced position can be achieved for conventional transverse flutes.
  • these z. B be connected to each other by an elbow.
  • the radius of curvature of the transition curve is at least 2 cm. This allows a soft transition from the first leg to the second leg and thus an air column that is as undisturbed as possible to reach. At the same time, the usual overall length of a transverse flute is not exceeded.
  • the first leg, the transition bend and/or the second leg can optionally be designed in one piece or as separate components. In the case of the design as separate components, these can in particular be releasably connected to one another. According to one embodiment, at least the first leg and the transition bend are designed as separate components.
  • an already existing straight head piece as known from the prior art, can be used and—to form a head piece according to the invention—connected to the transition bend and the second leg formed thereon or arranged thereon. A simple change between a straight head piece and a head piece according to the invention is thus possible.
  • the first and/or second leg can have a connecting section for the detachable connection to the transition bend, which can be inserted into an end-side receiving section of the transition bend for connection to the transition bend and is held in this in a non-positive manner. If the receiving section and the connecting section each have a circular cross-section relative to one another, a degree of freedom can be achieved with regard to the orientation of the first leg to the transition bend and/or the transition bend to the second leg. Specifically, the first and/or second leg can then be mounted on the transition bend in any orientation in the circumferential direction of the annular shape. In this way, a flautist can flexibly set the orientation that suits him.
  • the first leg and the second leg and the transition curve extend in a common plane. i.e. a flute with a mouthpiece according to the invention essentially extends in one plane.
  • the head piece can be designed in such a way that the first leg, the second leg and the transition bend do not lie in one plane, but rather that the two legs are at an angle in two spatial directions are arranged to each other, as z. B. from the document U.S. 2019/0180724 A1 is known.
  • the blowing hole in particular is formed in the region of the first leg.
  • a mouth hole plate which forms the blowing hole, is preferably arranged on the first leg.
  • the lip plate with the blowing hole can also be formed by a separate component which is connected to the first leg, e.g. B. on this up or plugged into this is.
  • the second leg is designed in such a way that it can be connected to the tube of the flute.
  • a connecting section is specifically provided for this purpose on the second leg. This can in particular be designed in such a way that the connecting section can be inserted into the tube and connected to it in a non-positive manner.
  • the connecting section is designed in the shape of a circular ring, it can be achieved that the head piece can be connected to the tube in any orientation in the circumferential direction of the circular ring shape. In this way, a flautist can flexibly set the orientation that suits him.
  • the head piece according to the invention can be made of any desired material that has sufficient strength.
  • the usual materials for flutes, such as wood, metal (including precious metals), an alloy or carbon are preferably used. Several materials can also be combined.
  • the headpiece can be made of gold, silver, titanium, brass, aluminum or grenadilla.
  • the object according to the invention is achieved by a transverse flute with a headpiece according to the invention.
  • At least one support element is preferably arranged on the tube of the flute.
  • This support element tends to protrude from the tube transversely to the longitudinal direction and is in particular designed in such a way that the transverse flute can be held over it with the thumb of the right hand can be supported.
  • two support elements can be provided at different heights, so that the flute can be held steady with both hands when playing.
  • the at least one support element can be arranged to be adjustable and/or detachable along the tube and/or in the circumferential direction of the tube.
  • the support element can be removed if you do not want to use the flute with the head joint according to the invention but with a straight head joint known from the prior art. If you switch back to the headpiece according to the invention, you can attach the support element to the desired position on the tube again.
  • figure 1 shows a headpiece 1 according to the invention for a transverse flute.
  • the head piece 1 has a first leg 2 and a second leg 3 which are connected to one another by an arcuate transition bend 4 .
  • the first leg 2 is designed as a substantially straight, tubular element. At one end 5 of the first leg 2 is closed, while at its other end 6 it is designed as an open tube. A mouth hole plate 7 with a blowing hole 8 is arranged on the first leg 2 in the region lying in between.
  • the second leg 3 is - similar to the first leg 2 - designed as a substantially straight, tubular element.
  • the second leg 3 is designed to be open towards its two ends 9 , 10 .
  • the second leg 3 has a connecting section 11, which is connected to an in figure 1 not shown tube of a flute can be inserted.
  • the two legs 2 and 3 are connected to one another by the transition bend 4 .
  • the transition bend 4 is also designed as a tubular element, which however - unlike the legs 2 and 3 - is not straight, but curved. This ensures that the two legs 2 and 3 are arranged at an angle 12 to one another.
  • the angle 12 enclosed by the legs 2 and 3 is approximately 72°. As in figure 1 indicated, but other angles are possible, for. B. between 50 and 80 °.
  • the transition curve 4 is rounded. i.e. corners and edges are avoided, which could lead to the formation of an air column for sound generation could affect.
  • the radius of curvature of the transition curve 4 is in the range of a few cm in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the first leg 2 has a connecting section 13 with a circular cross-section, the connecting section 13 being accommodated in a receiving section 14 which is formed by the transition bend 4 and which also has a circular cross-section. Since both the connecting section 13 and the receiving section 14 are designed with circular cross sections that are matched to one another, the orientation of the first leg 2 relative to the transition bend 4 can be freely adjusted in the circumferential direction. Since the connection between the first leg 2 and the transition bend 4 is designed to be detachable, the first leg 2 can optionally also be used as a classic, straight head piece, as is known from the prior art.
  • the second leg 3 is in the in figure 1 shown embodiment is formed integrally with the transition bend 4.
  • these can also be designed as separate components, which z. B. can be connected to each other by a plug connection.
  • the inside diameters and cross sections of the legs 2 and 3 and of the transition bend 4 are matched to one another in such a way that inside the head piece 1 there is a channel for the air flow without edges or cracks.
  • the inner diameter at the in figure 1 shown embodiment constant, whereby a good sound quality can be achieved.
  • the connecting section 11 is preferably matched to the flute for which the headpiece 1 is to be used, in order to achieve a transition that is as free of jumps and edges as possible.
  • the two legs 2 and 3 and the transition curve 4 extend in a plane 15 which corresponds to the plane of the paper. Unlike in figure 1 shown, z. B. the transition curve can also be rotated out of the plane of the paper, which would result in a three-dimensional design of the head piece.
  • FIG 2 a flute 16 with the headpiece 1 is shown.
  • the headpiece 1 is connected to a tube 17 of the flute 16 by the third leg 3 and more precisely by receiving the connecting section 11 in a correspondingly designed receiving section of the tube 17.
  • the tube 17, the footpiece 19 and the key mechanism 20 can, as shown in Be known in the prior art.
  • a substantially symmetrical position of the flute 16 in relation to a vertical central axis 18 can be achieved by the configuration of the headpiece 1 according to the invention.
  • the first leg 2 is oriented substantially parallel to the flutist's lips in the horizontal direction.
  • the transition curve 4 is located - seen from the flutist - to the left of the central axis 18. From there, the flute 16 extends from top left to bottom right. With his left hand, the flautist grips the flute 16 in the upper section, which is located near the central axis 18 rather on the left side. With his right hand, the flautist grips the flute 16 in the lower section, which is near the central axis 18 rather to the right. Overall, this results in a balanced posture in which the flutist keeps both arms oriented in the direction of the central axis 18, but does not have to reach over them, or at least not significantly.
  • the upper arms are slightly angled outwards, evenly next to the upper body and the forearms hold the flute 16 relaxed in front of the thoracic spine up to the navel in a slightly slanted shape. Pain in the spine, tension pain in the shoulder and cervical vertebrae, especially in professional musicians and advanced flutists, as well as pain due to the increased weight on the right arm, which affects young flutists in particular, can be significantly reduced or even eliminated.
  • the symmetrical position enables optimal, free breathing without constricting the respiratory organs, as is the case with the flutes known from the prior art.
  • the sound of the flute radiates evenly forward into any concert hall or practice room.
  • the sound vibrations are directed to the right side of the room by the tube held laterally to the right.
  • the sound is much quieter on the left side.
  • the almost vertical alignment achieved with the headpiece 2 according to the invention not only directs the sound evenly into the hall, which is more pleasant for the listener. Rather, the result is a balanced sound, especially for the flutist himself.
