Abstract
Description
これは2つの観点で問題を引き起こす。ブリッジトップ部分は、スロットが弦圧の下で曲がったりたわんだりして、ピエゾ素子は全ての弦を横切る均等な接触がなくなり、増幅されたときの各弦の異なる増幅出力および各弦の音の相違を生じる。たわみやすいブリッジは、また特定の振動周波数を吸収し、サステインを低減する可能性がある。
本発明は、全金属製のブリッジトップ部分を使用した場合に比べ音色的に温かみがあり(低音における欠損が少ない)、木製のブリッジトップ部分に比べたわみが少ないブリッジ、そのブリッジを備えた弦楽器を提供することを目的とする。
上記の課題を解決するために、本発明の他の態様によれば、ブリッジは、サドルを受入れるスロットを有する木製トップ構成部分を主体とするアーチドトップ型の上側部分と、機械加工、または鋳造された下側金属部分とを含み、上側部分は、下側金属部分に取り付けられ、上側部分のスロットは、下側金属部分の上部平坦面を露出させるために木製トップ構成部分を完全に通過し、一塊または分割されたサドルと、サドルの下に、サドルにかかる下向きの弦の圧力によって下側金属部分に対して均一に押されるように設置されるピエゾ素子とを含み、サドルをピエゾ素子に押し付け、次に下側金属部分に押し付け、サドルと下側金属部分の間にピエゾ素子を挟み込んだ状態である。
<第一実施形態のポイント>
言い換えると、ブリッジトップは、サドルを受入れるスロットを有する木製トップ構成部分を主体とするアーチドトップ型の上側部分を含む。ブリッジトップの木製の上側部分は、ネジ、ピンまたは他の接続構成部分で、機械加工または鋳造された下部の金属部分(以下、下側部分ともいう)に重ね合わせるかまたは貼り付けられる。ブリッジトップの上側部分は、下部の金属部分の上部の平坦な表面を露出させるために上側部分を完全に通過するスロットを含む。ピエゾ素子は、一塊のまたは分割されたサドル構成部分の下に設置される。サドルにかかる下向きの弦の圧力によってピエゾ素子が下部の金属部分に対して均一に押圧され、すべての弦に対して均一な応答を保証する。
<第一実施形態>
