Abstract
The fine tuner according to the present invention solves an important problem of a conventional fine tuner, and is a problem that can not be avoided in a conventional fine tuner, that is, a length of a string from a bridge to a fine tuner is controlled by a fine tuner It is not only different from other strings that are not used, but also changes the length when fine adjustment is made, so that the ratio of the length from the bridge to the nut can be made equal to that of the string without the fine adjuster There is also a problem that the ratio can not be kept constant. The fine regulator according to the present invention is advantageous in that the above ratio is maintained regardless of whether the fine regulator is used or the fine adjustment screw of the fine regulator is turned a little or not.

Description
Parts for string instruments
Conventional micro-controllers (see FIG. 4), which is a technique for finely adjusting string tension at the time of stringer tuning, has a string of strings extending between a bridge and a saddle of a tailpiece It is inevitable that the length of the string, that is, the tail length of the string is shortened to have a slight adverse effect on the sound quality (mainly tone and volume) of the strings. Another conventional type of fine adjuster (see FIG. 5) designed to minimize this problem has a problem that the rear end of the string is slightly longer and the rear end slightly changes depending on the degree of turning the adjustment screw. 6) is mounted on the rear end of the string (between the bridge and the saddle of the string strap) to push the middle portion of the string back in a direction perpendicular to the strings, So that the tension of the string can be adjusted. However, this method also has a problem that the rear end of the prefecture becomes shorter.
Even with the fine adjuster, the string length between the bridge and the saddle of the tailpiece, that is the tail length of the string, is kept short or long without being lengthened, It is a problem to be solved by the present invention to develop a new type of fine regulator which does not adversely affect the sound quality of a stringed instrument by keeping the tailing pitch constant at all times irrespective of whether the adjustment screw of the regulator is turned a little or not.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a method of mounting a stringer directly on a saddle of a stringer by attaching a fine adjuster has been considered. To do this, insert the rear end of the string (the end of the string) through the string insertion hole from the top to the bottom of the string hook, and insert the fine adjuster into the string hook The rear end of the string can be hooked on the fine adjuster to adjust the tension of the string by adjusting screws so that the string of the string can be always adjusted regardless of whether the fine adjuster is mounted, .
It is possible to expect a technical effect of further improving the string instrument by solving the chronic problem which can not avoid adverse effects on the sound quality of the string instrument when using the conventional fine adjuster according to the present invention. In addition, since the new micro-controller according to the present invention does not adversely affect the sound quality, it can be mounted safely on educational string instruments as well as professional string instruments. In addition, it is customary that the conventional micro-controller is installed only on one high string side of a string instrument for professional use due to adverse effects on the sound quality, but not on the low string side string. However, the new micro- So that the tuning of the strings can be made more easily and more accurately. In addition, the adverse effects on sound quality were the main reason for reluctance to use the micro-controller integrated tether, which would be eliminated and the use of micro-controller integrated tether will be further expanded.
1 is a conceptual diagram of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In Example 1, a ball-end type string with a ball at the rear end of the string and a ring-end type string with a ring form are used. .
2 is a conceptual diagram of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the second embodiment, only a ring-end type string in which the rear end of the string is in the form of a ring can be used. However, a ball-end type string having a ball at the rear end of the string can also be used because it becomes an annular string when the ball is pulled out.
3 is a conceptual diagram of Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the two strings can be used as in the first embodiment.
FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 are conceptual diagrams of different types of conventional micro-controllers.
The present invention relates to a new type of micro-controller for achieving the above-mentioned objects, and it is possible to consider an embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 or the like. The rear end of the string (the end of the string) is inserted from the top to the bottom of the string hook through the string insertion hole in the string hook, and the inserted rear end is inserted into the string hook, A knob is inserted through the fine adjuster attached to the fine adjuster and a knob is turned to adjust the tension of the string by turning the adjustment screw exposed at the top of the string, Since the saddle is directly over the saddle of the strap, the tail is kept constant regardless of whether it is fitted with a fine adjuster or whether the fine adjustment screw is turned a little or a little. 1, 2, and 3 are embodiments of the present invention, and it is needless to say that there may be many similar embodiments. In addition, it is possible to implement a micro-controller set in which the micro-controller is integrated with the micro-controller by incorporating one or more micro-controllers in the micro-string as many as the maximum number of strings.
