Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] In a relatively lightweight flute for educational purposes, it supports the flute in a stable state, promotes smooth playing movements of the fingertips during playing, and improves accompaniment. In order to reduce fatigue even when playing for long periods of time, it is often used to fix the finger rests to the flute body. This invention provides an extremely convenient temporary fixing guide for temporarily fixing the finger rest (referred to as temporary fixing) when fixing the finger rest to the flute body, and searching and determining the most suitable finger rest position for the player. It concerns a flute and a finger rest.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, wooden whistles have been fixed by tightening the finger rest to the pipe body with countersunk screws. In the case of a metal flute, in addition to screwing, the finger rest is fixed to the pipe body by brazing or welding. Alternatively, especially in large metal woodwind instruments, there are some instruments in which a thick screw is used in the thick part of the pipe body, and the finger rest is firmly tightened using a special tool.

Some whistles without a finger rest are made with a personal touch, such as by gluing an eraser or the like to the pipe body and fixing it with a rubber band.

None of the above is intended for temporary fixing in the first place, so it is impossible to temporarily fix it and search for delicate positions. Even if you try to make fine adjustments, the fingerrest will move loosely when you loosen the screw, and you will not know its original position.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention is a device to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and in order to find a suitable spot on the outer surface of the pipe body of the flute that is held between the fingertips, the player temporarily fixes the pipe and allows the player to After repeated trial performances, the finger rest was positioned and fixed, and the pipe body was equipped with a finger rest that could support the flute.It was an extremely simple structure that was easy to manufacture, and it was also equipped with temporary guides that were inexpensive and suitable for mass production. The purpose is to provide a flute and a finger rest.

[Means and methods for solving problems]

To summarize the present invention, the temporary fixing is made by connecting the outer wall of the pipe of the flute that is held between the fingertips and the finger rest with an engaging protrusion on one side and a plurality of recesses that engage on the other side with the engaging protrusions. After forming the guide, the performer engages the engaging protrusion in any recess of the temporary guide to determine the optimal position, plays a trial run, and after determining the optimal finger placement position, the performer uses adhesive to determine the optimal position. It features a whistle and finger rest with a temporary guide that can be fixed.
To provide a device that can be manufactured at low cost with a simple structure, and can easily select and fix the most suitable finger rest position for a player.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a flute according to the present invention, 2 is its mouthpiece, 3 is a main pipe, and 4 is a foot pipe. Reference numeral 5 denotes a finger rest which is an important part of the present invention, and the finger rest is fixed to the outer wall of the main pipe 3 by moving the mounting position appropriately to find the optimum position. It is. Second
The figure is an enlarged view showing a state in which the player's thumb is placed on the finger rest 5 fixed to the main tube 3. The finger rest is the third
4, and 5, a finger-hanging wall 6 having a finger-hanging surface 6a, a support wall 7 formed with a temporary fixing guide 8 that allows selection of the mounting position, and a finger-hanging wall 6. and a triangular spine 9 integrally formed with the support wall 7. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the state in which the finger hook 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the pipe body. , the finger hook indicated by the two-dot chain line is shown fixed at a position along the main tube 3 closest to the foot tube 4. The temporary fixing guide 8 formed on the support wall 7 has a concave portion continuously formed approximately in the center of the support surface 7a along its length.

Next, in FIG. 3, reference numeral 10 denotes an engaging protrusion protruding from the outer wall of the main pipe 3, and this engaging protrusion 10 engages with one of the recesses formed continuously in the temporary fixing guide 8. Then, the outer wall of the tube and the support wall surface 7a are fixed with adhesive or the like. The finger rest fixed to the flute in this way can be supported by the hand as shown in Figure 2.

[Effect]

If the fixed position of the thumb with the thumb resting on the finger rest of the flute is not optimal for the player, the attachment position of the finger rest can be changed by engaging the engagement protrusion with an arbitrary recess of the temporary guide. You can move up and down to select the best fixing position.

Even when a schoolchild attaches a finger rest to a whistle, he or she can easily and reliably attach it to his or her optimum position.

In this way, if you move on to playing the flute after the finger rests are fixed in the optimal position, you can operate the flute at a fixed finger position at all times, allowing stable and smooth operation, and helping you acquire advanced playing techniques. It is very beneficial and can reduce fatigue even when playing for a long time.

Since the present invention has a configuration suitable for mass production, manufacturing costs can be kept very low.
It can be applied to educational whistles and supplied to school children at an extremely low price.
