Abstract

The blade (DO) has a thinned part located at a sound end of the blade, and a thick part located at a north end of the blade for allowing fixation of the blade on a percussion keyboard instrument such as piano, where the thinned part is struck. The blade is suspended by cords (1, 2) passing in the north and south ends of the blade of the percussion keyboard instrument. An independent claim is also included for a percussion keyboard instrument composed of multiple blades.

Description

2879336 -1-2879336 -1-

La présente invention découle d'une réflexion sur la difficulté de virtuosité lors de l'interprétation d'une oeuvre musicale, sur instrument de percussion à clavier. Cette invention consiste en un dispositif destiné à réduire la distance de frappe à parcourir d'une lame à l'autre, sur un instrument de musique de la famille des idiophones à percussions à claviers, afin de faciliter l'obtention du son optimal de chaque note de musique et une plus grande virtuosité dans la rapidité de l'interprétation d'une oeuvre musicale.  The present invention stems from a reflection on the difficulty of virtuosity when interpreting a musical work on a keyboard percussion instrument. This invention consists of a device intended to reduce the distance to be struck from one blade to another, on a musical instrument of the family of keyboard percussion idiophones, in order to facilitate the obtaining of the optimal sound of each note of music and greater virtuosity in the speed of interpretation of a musical work.

Cette disposition par un profil et une fixation différentes de la lame, formera un nouvel instrument de percussion à clavier (lames de matière connue ou inconnue a ce jour).  This arrangement by a different profile and attachment of the blade, will form a new keyboard percussion instrument (blades known or unknown material to date).

A ce jour, les lames des instruments de percussion à clavier sont suspendues à l'aide de deux cordes passant dans leurs extrémités (nord et sud).  To date, the blades of keyboard percussion instruments are suspended using two ropes passing in their ends (north and south).

La corde passant très prés des bords, la sonorité a cet endroit est moins sonore et de moins bonne qualité : le son optimal de la note s'obtenant en frappant au milieu de la lame creusée et amincie dans sa partie centrale.  The string passing close to the edges, the sound at this place is less sonorous and of less good quality: the optimal sound of the note is obtained by striking in the middle of the hollowed and thinned blade in its central part.

Ce système limite la virtuosité, car il implique un grand déplacement des avant-bras entre les lames bécarre (touches blanches du Piano) et les lames dièse/ bémol (touches noires du Piano), posant ainsi une difficulté dans les interprétations rapides.  This system limits the virtuosity, because it implies a large displacement of the forearms between the blades becare (white keys of the Piano) and the sharp / flat blades (black keys of the Piano), thus posing a difficulty in the fast interpretations.

Désormais, un dispositif innovant de clavier, selon l'invention, permettra de remédier a cet inconvénient.  From now on, an innovative keyboard device, according to the invention, will remedy this drawback.

Il consiste en deux innovations: 1 Un système différent reliant les lames entrent elles: Les deux cordes qui suspendront les lames dièse bémol passeront a l'extrémité nord de la lame, libérant ainsi la partie sud. Les deux cordes qui suspendront les lames bécarre passeront a l'extrémité sud de la lame, libérant ainsi la partie nord, ( dessin N 1) 2 Un profil modifié de la lame elle-même, qui, libérée d'un point d'encrage, sera creusé et affiné jusqu'à l'une de ces extrémités, libérant le son optimal sur une plus grande longueur, (dessin N 2) L'invention a donc pour objet, une lame pour instrument de musique à percussion à clavier, du type de la famille des idiophones, comprenant une partie amincie sur laquelle il convient de frapper afin d'obtenir une meilleure sonorité, caractérisée en ce que la partie amincie se situe à l'une des extrémités de la lame, la partie épaisse située à l'autre extrémité permettant la fixation de la lame sur l'instrument.  It consists of two innovations: 1 A different system connecting the blades enters: The two ropes that will suspend the sharp sharp blades will pass to the north end of the blade, thus freeing the southern part. The two strings that will suspend the natural blades will pass to the southern end of the blade, thus freeing the northern part, (drawing N 1) 2 A modified profile of the blade itself, which, freed from an inking point , will be dug and refined to one of these ends, releasing the optimal sound over a greater length, (drawing N 2) The invention therefore relates to a keyboard percussion musical instrument blade, the type of the family of idiophones, comprising a thinned portion on which it is necessary to strike in order to obtain a better sound, characterized in that the thinned portion is at one end of the blade, the thick portion located at the other end for fixing the blade on the instrument.

L'invention a également pour objet un instrument à percussion composé de plusieurs lames disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres, les parties amincies étant disposées adjacentes les unes aux autres.  The invention also relates to a percussion instrument composed of several blades arranged parallel to each other, the thinned portions being disposed adjacent to each other.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'instrument est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte deux séries de lames, reparties dièse/bémol et bécarre, disposé de 2879336 -2- part et d'autre de l'axe de la longueur de l'instrument, les parties amincies des différentes lames étant disposées du côté de l'axe.  According to particular embodiments, the instrument is characterized in that it comprises two series of blades, divided between sharp / flat and notched, arranged on either side of the axis of the length of the blade. instrument, the thinned portions of the different blades being disposed on the side of the axis.

Caractérisées également en ce que les lames sont finies par des cordes traversant leur partie épaisse.  Characterized also in that the blades are finished by ropes crossing their thick part.

Et enfin caractérisées en ce que les lames sont reliées les unes aux autres au niveau de l'extrémité de leur partie épaisse, la fixation s'effectuant au niveau de cette partie.  And finally characterized in that the blades are connected to each other at the end of their thick part, the fixing being effected at this part.

Explications détaillées: Une lame de DO: longueur 33 cm, largeur 5 cm, épaisseur au sud de la lame: 1 cm; Cette épaisseur du sud de la lame ira jusqu'à 15 cm.  Detailed explanations: A DO blade: length 33 cm, width 5 cm, thickness south of the blade: 1 cm; This southern thickness of the blade will go up to 15 cm.

A partir du quinzième centimètre, la lame sera creusée et amincie jusqu'à son extrémité nord, (en fonction de son accord) Une lame de RE bémol: longueur 32 cm, largueur 5 cm, épaisseur au nord de la lame, 1 cm, cette épaisseur du nord de la lame ira jusqu'à 14 cm. A partir du quatorzième centimètre, la lame sera creusée et amincie jusqu'à son extrémité sud (en fonction de son accord) Les cordes qui suspendent la lame de DO, (1) (2) La première passera dans le sens de la largeur a 2 cm du sud de la lame. La deuxième passera dans le sens de la largeur a 14 cm du sud de la lame.  From the fifteenth centimeter, the blade will be dug and thinned to its northern end, (depending on its agreement) A flat RE blade: length 32 cm, width 5 cm, thickness north of the blade, 1 cm, this thickness of the north of the blade will go up to 14 cm. From the fourteenth centimeter, the blade will be dug and thinned to its southern end (according to its agreement) The strings that suspend the blade of DO, (1) (2) The first will pass in the direction of the width a 2 cm from the south of the blade. The second will move in the direction of width 14 cm south of the blade.

Les cordes qui suspendent la lame de RE bémol, (3) (4) (i N' 3 La première passera dans le sens de la largeur a 2 cm du nord de la lame. La deuxième passera dans le sens de la largeur a 13 cm de nord de la lame.  The strings which suspend the blade of E flat, (3) (4) (i N '3 The first will pass in the direction of the width to 2 cm of the north of the blade.The second will pass in the direction of the width to 13 cm north of the blade.

Cette invention permettra donc de jouer sur les bords et ainsi d'obtenir une qualité de son optimal, (5) (6) limitant les déplacements des avant-bras, permettant ainsi une plus grande virtuosité d'interprétation. ( e e  This invention will therefore play on the edges and thus obtain an optimal sound quality, (5) (6) limiting the movements of the forearms, allowing a greater virtuosity of interpretation. (e
