Abstract

LE DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTION EST CELUI DE L'ACCORD DES INSTRUMENTS A CORDES ET ELLE CONCERNE LES APPAREILS D'ACCORD DU TYPE COMPRENANT DES MOYENS MONTES SUR L'INSTRUMENT POUR REGLER LA HAUTEUR DE SON DE CHAQUE CORDE INDIVIDUELLEMENT. LE PROBLEME TECHNIQUE POSE CONSISTE A FOURNIR UN TEL APPAREIL QUI PERMETTE D'ACCORDER AUTOMATIQUEMENT L'INSTRUMENT SANS FAIRE APPEL A UN ACCORD ACOUSTIQUE. SUIVANT L'INVENTION, UN TEL APPAREIL EST CARACTERISE EN CE QUE DES MOYENS 8 POUR DETERMINER LA HAUTEUR DE SON DE CHAQUE CORDE 9 SONT RELIES A DES MOYENS 14 POUR COMPARER LA HAUTEUR DE SON DE CHAQUE CORDE 9 LORSQU'ELLE EST JOUEE AVEC UN SIGNAL DE REFERENCE,ET EN CE QUE DES MOYENS DE COMMANDE 11, 12 SONT CONNECTES ENTRE LES MOYENS DE COMPARAISON 14 ET LES MOYENS DE REGLAGE DE HAUTEUR 10 POUR AMENER LES MOYENS DE REGLAGE DE HAUTEUR 10 A MODIFIER LA HAUTEUR DE SON DE LA CORDE JOUEE DE MANIERE A CE QU'ELLE CORRESPONDE AU SIGNAL DE REFERENCE. L'INVENTION TROUVE UNE UTILISATION PRINCIPALE SUR LES GUITARES ET BASSES ELECTRIQUES.THE TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION IS THAT OF THE TUNING OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS AND IT CONCERNS TUNING APPLIANCES OF THE TYPE INCLUDING MEANS MOUNTED ON THE INSTRUMENT FOR ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE SOUND OF EACH STRING INDIVIDUALLY. THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM POSED CONSISTS OF PROVIDING SUCH A DEVICE WHICH ALLOWS AUTOMATICALLY TUNING THE INSTRUMENT WITHOUT USING AN ACOUSTIC TUNING. FOLLOWING THE INVENTION, SUCH AN APPARATUS IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT MEANS 8 FOR DETERMINING THE PITCH OF SOUND OF EACH STRING 9 ARE CONNECTED WITH MEANS 14 FOR COMPARING THE PITCH OF SOUND OF EACH STRING 9 WHEN IT IS PLAYED WITH A SIGNAL REFERENCE, AND IN THAT CONTROL MEANS 11, 12 ARE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE COMPARISON MEANS 14 AND THE HEIGHT-ADJUSTING MEANS 10 TO MAKE THE HEIGHT-ADJUSTING MEANS 10 TO MODIFY THE SOUND PITCH OF THE STRING PLAYED BY WAY THAT IT CORRESPONDS TO THE REFERENCE SIGNAL. THE INVENTION FINDS A MAIN USE IN ELECTRIC GUITARS AND BASSES.
