Abstract

Manual bridge of string alignment in musical instruments. The invention is a bridge of chords and harmonics composed of: (fig. 1) bridge (fig. 2) 2nd rope elevator (fig. 3) 3rd rope lift (fig. 4) nut (fg. 5) set. The instruments for which this invention can be applied are: violins, violas, cellos and double basses in all the formats that subdivide them: Ejem (violins: 1/8º - 1/4º - 1/2 - 3/4 -º 4/4). The main advantages of this invention is the possibility of aligning the four ropes: (the bridges that currently exist have no ability to generate vertical movement) with which the arc has the option of generating friction in four, three or two strings at a time: (only two curdas can be performed at present). The utility and possibilities of this invention is the creation and composition of new music works. Lending greater possibilities of new chords for musical composers and music in general. The materials with which the pieces that compose said invention can be constructed are: woods, plastics, irons, steels and aluminum, all of them with their multiple varieties.

Description

Mechanical rope alignment bridge.

Technical sector

The invention falls within the sector musical instrument technician, more specifically related to Violins, Violas, Cello and Double Bass.

State of the art

They do not know or have proof that the Current bridges of the aforementioned instruments have had no significant evolution or patents that are known about this technique.

Currently the Musical String Bridges used for the instruments are made of wood and its function is strictly to help guide and tighten the strings, without alterations of functions or evolutions in design from its creation.

Description of the invention

Seeing the possibilities of providing Composers and musicians of a new instrument to be able to Make incursions into new Musical Creations.

We have thought it very important to provide movement to this component of the Instruments and create this invention, printing more prominence than it enjoys today, and assigning him an important role in the new Compositions Musicals.

The advantages that arise are the following:

The main advantages that this instrument Grants is the possibility of aligning more than two strings to the same level (3 or 4) strings, so that they can be touched by the bow at unisonó, which is unthinkable today with the existing bridges in the actuality Which do not have mobility options because of their own structure and composition.

Our invention provides new possible alignments and combinations for the work of the Arc than in the Currently you can only do: (1st 2nd) (2nd 3rd) (3rd 4th) the new In addition to the invention described above, it offers: (1ª2ª3ª) (2ª3ª4ª) (1ª2ª3ª4ª) which adds a multitude of variables in the instruments. These combinations are only possible thanks to the so-called moving parts (rope lifters) of which  He has endowed our invention.
