Abstract

1987. Hennig, G. K., and Hupfeld Akt.- Ges., L. Jan. 26. Pianofortes without keyboards; stringed instruments; tracker-bars; tune-sheets.-Relates to a device for tuning automatic stringed musical instruments. Fig. 1<a> illustrates the invention as applied to an automatic violin A combined with an automatic piano B. The valve c normally closes ducts a, b connected to the tubes leading from the tracker-bar 1 to the primary valves 2, 3, of the automatic violin and piano respectively. The valve c is opened by depressing the push d, and wind passes through the ducts a, b to operate the valves 2, 3 and sound notes on both instruments. In the example described the violin is tuned to the piano, but pitch pipes, reeds, or other standard notes may be employed. The tune-sheet may be provided with additional holes at the commencement or end of a tune to sound notes on the two instruments simultaneously for tuning purposes. The valve c may be operated by an electro-magnet controlled by a contact device. In modifications, separate valves, which are either independently controlled or arranged to be operated in succession by one push, are provided for the ducts a, b.
