Abstract

1,071,358. Electrophonic vibrophone. D. H. STEMBER. Jan. 17, 1966 [Oct. 16, 1964], No. 42287/64. Heading G5J. When cord-mounted bar 1 is struck by a hammer or mallet, manipulated by the player of the vibrophone-type instrument of which it is part, electromagnetic transducer 2 causes speaker 5 to emit sound while bar 1 vibrates. Mixer unit 3 and controllable gain amplifier 4 combine with controllable frequency oscillator 6 to vary the effect obtained. Associated controls include an on-off switch, volume and tone controls, an oscillator rate control, an oscillator rate modulation switch and a by-pass control which enables the oscillator to be wholly or partially by-passed. Bars 1 may be of aluminium or aluminium alloy and may have damping means on their outer ends to facilitate the use of four mallet techniques. The instrument may be powered by mains or battery current and the speaker and amplifier incorporated in the instrument may be replaced by an external mains-fed amplifier. Optionally the transducers associated with each bar may be replaced by a long coil common to each row of bars.
