Description

Automatic tuning saxophone and its connection {Saxophone and connecting pipe for it}

[0001] The present invention relates to a saxophone and its connector, and more particularly, to a saxophone body and a first adapter and a second adapter between a neck and a mouthpiece fixed to the saxophone body, And the second adapter is screwed to the first adapter in a state where the second adapter is fixedly inserted into the mouthpiece, thereby increasing the length between the neck and the mouthpiece, and the mouthpiece is always constant Position to allow tuning to be completed, reducing the time required for tuning and producing a constant sound.

In general, a saxophone has a bell (2) with a truncated end on a tube of a conical body (1) as shown in Figure 1, and a plurality of holes are formed in the saxophone body and the hole is closed with a key (6) It is a musical instrument that makes various sounds according to the opening and closing of the key 6.

These saxophones are made by A. Sachs of Belgium and are patented in Paris in 1846. The mouthpiece (4) is similar to a clarinet, and the vibrating tongue used to make a sound is a single lead, a lead, It is a parabolic conical tube made of metal.

These saxophones store the sanitary mouthpiece 4 separated from the neck 3 of the saxophone and usually undergo a tuning process to insert the mouthpiece 4 into the neck 3 before playing the instrument. 2, a sealing member 5 of cork is inserted into the neck 3 and a mouthpiece 4 is inserted into the sealing member 5 to remove the gap between the mouthpiece 4 and the neck 3, Since the sealing member 5 is made of a cork material, it is difficult to join the dental mouthpiece 4 to a predetermined position each time the dental mouthpiece 4 is detached, thereby increasing the time required for tuning the musical instrument.

In particular, it is not easy to control the use of other musical instruments. If the mouthpiece is assembled too tightly with the corks compressed, it may be difficult to separate the mouthpiece. On the contrary, if the assembly is too loose, Air is leaked through the gap and it is difficult to make accurate sound.

As a conventional technique proposed to solve such a problem, there is a variable pitch saxophone proposed in Japanese Patent No. 10-1118544.

The present invention relates to a saxophone comprising a main body in which a plurality of keys are arranged in an enemy state, a neck connected or bonded to the upper end of the main body, and a mouthpiece which is fitted to the neck by filling the mouthpiece with a reed, And a second neck sandwiched between the neck and the mouthpiece, wherein the second neck has the same diameter as the narrow tube of the neck, and the portion fitted to the neck has a tube diameter Wherein an adapter is formed which is connected to the neck so that the inner diameter of the second neck and the inner diameter of the second neck coincide with each other and a connection portion between the second neck and the mouthpiece is compressed so as to cover the gap of the connection portion. The saxophone has been proposed, and the second neck extends the length of the original neck, However, it is difficult to maintain the position of the mouthpiece constantly every time the mouthpiece is assembled to the second neck due to the adapter of the cork material. When the adapter is not completely compressed The problem is that the air leaking through the gap does not produce the correct sound.

[0001] The present invention relates to a saxophone and its connector, and more particularly, to a saxophone body and a first adapter and a second adapter between a neck and a mouthpiece fixed to the saxophone body, And the second adapter is screwed to the first adapter in a state where the second adapter is fixedly inserted into the mouthpiece, thereby increasing the length between the neck and the mouthpiece, and the mouthpiece is always constant Position to allow tuning to be completed, reducing the time required for tuning and producing a constant sound.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the separator according to the present invention, FIG. 4 is a view showing a combined structure of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a view showing a combination of a first adapter and a second adapter according to the present invention, , A first adapter (10) having a through hole (11) through which air can flow and being fixed to a neck (3) of a saxophone, a second adapter And a second adapter 20 which is inserted into and fixed to the mouthpiece 4 of the saxophone.

The first adapter 10 is preferably fixed to the neck 3 of the saxophone and is preferably made of a metal material having the same or similar quality as the neck of the saxophone 3, The inner diameter of the through hole 11 formed in the first adapter 10 is made to be constant so that the inner diameter of the through hole 11 formed in the first adapter 10 becomes greater as it is deeply fitted into the neck 3, 1 adapter and the outer surface of the neck 3 without any gap.

The second adapter 20 has a communication hole 21 which is an air flow path communicating with the through hole 11 of the first adapter 10 and is fixedly coupled to the mouthpiece 4.

Therefore, the tuning of the musical instrument can be completed through the process of coupling the second adapter 20 fixed to the mouthpiece 4 in a state where the first adapter 10 is fixedly connected to the neck 3.

The neck 3 and the first adapter 10 may be fixed in a press-fitting manner. In some cases, the neck 3 and the adapter 10 may be fixed semi-permanently using a metal adhesive or the like. Alternatively, And the second adapter 20 can be fixed semi-permanently using the mouthpiece 4 and an adhesive.

A male screw 12 is formed on one side of the outer diameter portion of the first adapter 10 and a female screw 22 is formed on one side of the inner diameter portion of the second adapter 20 to be engaged with the male screw 12, 1 adapter 10 and the second adapter 20 are screwed together.
