Description

This invention relates to a chord harmonica that can generate 24 chords, both long and short, and can also play a melody as a chromatic harmonica.

Reference FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a chord harmonica for accompaniment in a conventional ensemble. One lead is attached to each hole of the three holes 14 provided close to each other, and one chord is expressed by the three holes, and 24 sets of them are provided, so that 24 chords can be played in all lengths. It is what I did. Unfortunately, they couldn't play melodies only with chord accompaniment.

It is to construct a harmonica that can generate 24 chords in combination with a short and long length and can also play a melody as a chromatic harmonica.

In a harmonica that has the same function as the sliding type by inserting a sliding plate or a partition plate, when the whole hole is divided into a left half and a right half, blowing sound and sound absorption without pushing the sliding plate are performed. When iteratively repeats, the left half and the right half become a major scale with a pitch difference of 3 degrees each, and when the slide plate is pushed, other sounds except for the conduction on the left and right scales It was realized by making the tone string all semitones high, or making all the sounds except the subgeneric sounds low tone semitones.

It is shown by the moving dosing method with the tonic of the left scale as do.
A chromatic chord harmonica sound string in the case of a slide type harmonica having two pairs of blowing leads and absorbing leads per hole is shown. The left half of the sound string when composed of a sliding harmonica with one sound blowing lead and one sound absorbing lead per hole. The right half of the sound string when it is composed of a sliding harmonica with one sound blowing lead and one sound absorbing lead per hole. A harmonica structure that has the same functions as the slide type, without using the slide type.

Brief explanation of the score

Music score 1

  It shows the scale that can be played with this harmonica.

Music score 2

  The chords that can be played with this harmonica are shown.

The structure of the harmonica is the same as the conventional slide type chromatic harmonica with four sound leads per hole, that is, two pairs of sound blowing leads and sound absorbing leads are attached per hole, and the slide plate is operated. This is the same as the harmonica that can produce only one pair of sounds. The sound arrangement is as shown in FIG. When the entire harmonica is divided in half, the left half is a major scale with the main sound as the main sound, and the right half is a major scale with the main sound as the main sound by repeating blowing and absorbing sound without pushing the slide plate It is arranged to be. Furthermore, when the slide plate is pushed, all sounds except the sound guides on the left and right scales ("si" on the left side and "le" on the right side) are raised by a semitone. In other words, when the slide plate is pushed, the left half is a major scale with “Fah” as the main sound, and the right half is the major scale with “La” as the main sound. Although the figure shows 8 holes on the left and right, it is of course possible to increase the number of holes and expand the sound range. If you show the sound sequence when the left and right are 3 octaves,
When the slide plate is not pushed, the lead for the sound blowing on the left half is a repeating pattern of the shield blade, and when the slide plate is not pushed, the sound absorbing lead for the left half is When the slide pattern is repeated and the slide plate is not pushed, the right half of the lead for blowing sound is the referrer dormitor.
When the slide plate is not pushed and the slide plate is not pushed, the sound absorbing lead on the right half is a miscellaneous referer pattern and the repeater pattern is repeated, and when the slide plate is pushed, The lead for the left half sound is Sile # Fa # La # Do # Mi # So # Sile # Fa # La # Do #
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the left half of the sound absorbing lead will be in the form of #M ######################
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the lead for the right half of the sound is repeated with the reference pattern of # Refer # Rad # Miss ## Refer # Rad # Mi and when the slide plate is pushed The sound absorption lead on the right half is the miso # silaffa # rad # miso # silefa #
The pattern is repeated.
Since the sound blowing and sound absorption are repeated over the entire sound range, the relationship between sound blowing and sound absorption is reversed between the middle sound range and the low and high sound ranges. In the middle range, de, mi, seo, and shi are sound blowing and les, fa, and la are sound absorbing. Becomes a sound. Also, the hole spacing is widened in the middle, but it's not necessary to do so.

If the scale that can be played with this harmonica is represented in the score, it becomes "Score 1". This is the case when the C sound is set to "D", but it can be moved to any key. (A) is a case of playing on the left side when the slide plate is not pushed, and the C major scale is obtained by repeating sound blowing and sound absorption. (B) shows a case where the slide plate is pushed and played on the left side, which is the F # major scale. (C) is E ♭ major scale when playing on the right side when the slide plate is not pushed. (D) is the A major scale when the slide plate is pushed and played on the right side. All of them are designed to repeat sound blowing and sound absorption over the entire range, so that all diatonic chords on each scale can be obtained by blowing or sucking three consecutive holes. ing. "Score 2" represents a chord that can be actually played. (A) is when the three consecutive holes of the left eight holes are blown or sucked when the slide plate is not pushed, and six diatonic codes C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am can be produced. (B) is when the three consecutive holes of the left eight holes are blown or sucked when the slide plate is pushed, and F #, A６m, B ♭ m, B, C #, E ♭ m 6 Two diatonic codes can be issued. (C) When the slide plate is not pushed, when three consecutive holes in the right eight holes are blown or sucked, the six diatonic codes E ♭, Fm, Gm, A ♭, B ♭, Cm Can be put out. (D) is when the slide plate is pushed and when three consecutive holes of the right eight holes are blown or sucked, and six diatonics A, Bm, C # m, D, E, F # m. Code can be issued. All 24 codes can be issued in combination with the above length. If desired, a 7th or major 7th code can be generated by blowing or sucking four consecutive holes. Arpeggio performance is also free.

  In the state where the slide plate is not pushed, the left side is the major scale with “Do” as the main tone, and the right side is the major scale with “Miz” as the main tone. Since all other sounds except the sound of “Shi” on the left side and “Le” on the right side are raised by a semitone, the left and right can function as chromatic harmonica (“Shi”). The sound that is raised by a semitone is “do”, so there is no need to raise it by a semitone). When the slide plate is pushed, the left side is the major scale with “Fa #” as the main tone, and the right side is the major scale with “La” as the main tone. All sounds except for “SHI” on the left side and “LE” on the right side are set to be semitone lower. Even when a melody is played as a chromatic harmonica, the three keys C, F #, E ♭, and A are already prepared. 4 keys of 5 degrees up, 4 keys of G, C #, B ♭, E, 4 keys of 5 degrees down, F, B, A ♭, D, All keys can be transferred. In other words, since it is possible to shift to all the keys by adding only one # or ♭, the transposition work is extremely simple as compared with the conventional chromatic harmonica.

In the figure, the right key is three degrees higher than the left key, but the right key may be a major scale whose main tone is a lower third degree. If you show the sound train in that case, when you do not push the slide plate, the lead for the sound blowing in the left half is a repetition of the pattern of the pie The left half sound-absorbing lead is a repeat of the domino-shear reference pattern, and when the slide plate is not pushed, the right half sound-lead is the so- When the slide pattern is repeated and the slide plate is not pushed, the lead for sound absorption in the right half is the repeat of Rad # Miso # Refer # Rad # Misso # When the slide plate is pushed, the lead for the left half sound is Sile # Fah # La # Do # Mi # So # Sile # Fah # La # Do #
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the left half of the sound absorbing lead will be in the form of #M ######################
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the lead for the right half blowing sound is
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the sound absorption lead in the right half is the repeat of the reference pattern. The sound string structure is the same as that in which the left and right of the sound string in FIG.

The above description is such that when the slide plate is pushed, the sound other than the guided sound is raised by a semitone, but the same is true if the sound other than the subordinate sound is lowered by a semitone. The sound string when the right side is raised 3 degrees short is as follows.
When the slide plate is not pushed, the lead for the sound blowing on the left half is a repeating pattern of the shield blade, and when the slide plate is not pushed, the sound absorbing lead for the left half is When the slide pattern is repeated and the slide plate is not pushed, the right half of the lead for blowing sound is the referrer dormitor.
When the slide plate is not pushed and the slide plate is not pushed, the sound absorbing lead on the right half is a miscellaneous referer pattern and the repeater pattern is repeated, and when the slide plate is pushed, The lead for the left half blowing sound is a repeat of the pattern of La # Do # Mi # So # Sile # Fa # La # Do # Mi # So # Shi, and when the slide plate is pushed, the lead for the left half sound absorption The lead is Sile # Fa # La # Do # Mi # So # Sile # Fa # La # Do #
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the lead for the right half of the sound is not displayed.
When the slide plate is pushed and the slide plate is pushed, the sound absorbing lead on the right half is the dormitor societal relay.
The pattern is repeated. This is equivalent to a sound string structure in which the upper lead sound string and the lower lead sound string of the harmonica in FIG. 1 are interchanged.
If the right side is lowered 3 degrees, it will be as follows.
When the slide plate is not pushed, the lead for the sound blowing on the left half is a repeating pattern of the shield blade, and when the slide plate is not pushed, the sound absorbing lead for the left half is When the slide pattern is repeated and the slide plate is not pushed, the lead for the right half of the blowing sound is that of the sound # of the sound # # # # # # # # # When the pattern is repeated and the slide plate is not pushed, the right half of the sound absorbing lead is a rad # miso # shire # # lade # miso # and the left half when the slide plate is pushed. The lead for the sound of the sound is a repeat of # La # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # When the slide plate is pushed, the lead for sound absorption in the left half is # ♯ FAC ♯ LA ♯ DE ♯ MI Seo ♯ Shi Les ♯ file ♯ La ♯ de ♯
When the slide plate is pushed, the lead for the right half blowing sound is the social referrer.
When the slide plate is pushed, the lead for sound absorption in the right half is a radiating device.
Will be repeated. This is equivalent to a structure in which the left and right sides of the harmonica in FIG.
In summary, when blowing sound and sound absorption are alternately repeated, the major scales with different 3rd-degree keys on the left and right sides are different, and when the slide plate is pushed, the sound is guided on each scale. It works as a chromatic chord harmonica as long as all other sounds are raised by a semitone or all sounds other than the subgenus are lowered by a semitone.

  FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show a case where there are two sound blowing leads or two sound absorbing leads per hole, and a slide type harmonica that repeats sound blowing and sound absorption for each hole. The sound and sound absorption when the sliding plate is not pushed are the same as those shown in FIG. 1, except that the sound and sound absorption are alternately arranged for each hole. The blowing sound and sound absorption when the slide plate is pushed are the same as those shown in FIG.

Even if it is not based on the slide type, the structure shown in FIG. 5 can be provided with the same function as the slide type harmonica.
For each hole, a blowing sound lead 6 and a sound absorbing lead 7 are provided on the upper side, and a blowing sound lead 8 and a sound absorbing lead 9 are provided on the lower side. As shown in the side view of (c), the blowing leads 6 and 8 and the sound absorbing leads 7 and 9 are not arranged side by side but are arranged in front and rear. This is to reduce the horizontal size of the harmonica. The upper harmonica cover 2 and the upper lead plate 4 are partitioned by an upper partition 10, and the lower harmonica cover 3 and the lower lead plate 5 are partitioned by a lower partition 11. In each of the partitioned upper rooms, the blowing sound lead 6 and the sound absorbing lead 7 are separated, and in the lower room, the blowing sound lead 8 and the sound absorbing lead 9 are isolated. The harmonica covers 2 and 3 have no holes, and an opening 13 is provided at the rear part of the harmonica like a normal harmonica. With such a structure, air can enter and exit only through the opening 13 when breathing in or inhaling from the air outlet 12. Therefore, if the lower side of the opening 13 is closed with a finger or the like, only the upper lead can make sound, and if the upper side of the opening 13 is closed, only the lower lead can make sound. This is functionally the same as a sliding harmonica.
If the horizontal size is large, it is difficult to block the opening with a finger, so this type of harmonica is suitable for a compact type. Simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance.

  In the figure, the interval between the holes is widened only in the middle portion, but it is not always necessary to do so. When using it for a concert, it is better to have a wider space between the holes than a normal sliding harmonica to reduce the number of mistones. On the other hand, to use it as an accompaniment instrument that can be easily carried, it would be interesting to design it more compactly than usual, without worrying about some mistones. Although the use as an ensemble is limited, it can be easily carried by making it compact, for example, it can be used as a friend, between the lead performance and accompaniment, or as an easy accompaniment It is done.

In summary, when blowing sound and sound absorption are alternately repeated, the major scales with different 3rd-degree keys on the left and right sides are different, and when the slide plate is pushed, the sound is guided on each scale. It works as a chromatic chord harmonica as long as all other sounds are raised by a semitone or all sounds other than the subgenus are lowered by a semitone.

In the figure, the interval between the holes is widened only in the middle portion, but it is not always necessary to do so. When using it for a concert, it is better to have a wider space between the holes than a normal sliding harmonica to reduce the number of mistones. On the other hand, to use it as an accompaniment instrument that can be easily carried, it would be interesting to design it more compactly than usual, without worrying about some mistones. Although the use as an ensemble is limited, it can be easily carried by making it compact, for example, it can be used as a friend, between the lead performance and accompaniment, or as a simple song accompaniment It is done.
It should be noted that this harmonica cannot play a melody at the same time as a chord accompaniment, as in a bass performance . To the last, chord accompaniment must be performed individually as chord accompaniment, and lead performance as lead performance.
