Description

Beskrivelse Description

Akustisk/semiakustisk gitar fremstilt av helsveisede stålplater. For å skape et nytt lydbilde er oppfinnelsen at gitarens akustiske del, kalt kroppen, lages i en sammensveiset del, bestående av 9mm stålplater, som skjæres og formes som en gitar, lages med hulrom, ressonanserom som på en vanlig akustisk gitar. Bakplate (bunn) og topplate (lokk) formes, bues to veier med f. eks. et engelsk hjul. Dette for å få et vakkert utseende og for å få til den rette resonansen på lyden. I tillegg oppnår man en solid selvbærende skallkonstruksjon. Målet er at det "synger", skapes gjenklang i selve stålveggene og at det derved skapes en spesiell lyd, helt anderledes enn det som er vanlig ved tregitarer. En egen lyd, som passer spesielt til bestemte typer musikk, f. eks. blues, jass osv. I tillegg anbefaler jeg å hente opp lyden videre til forsterkere via to forskjellige system samtidig: 1: via innebygget mikrofon (som på en akustisk gitar) og 2: via pickups, som henter lyden direkte fra strengene (som på en EL-gitar). Dette vil gi unike muligheter til blanding av lyd (spesielt fordelaktig på cenen eller ved liveopptak). Gitarkroppen bør ikke være tykkere enn 3-5 cm. Den bør helsveises slik at lyden (vibrasjonene fra strengene kan forplante seg effektivt fra strengene via gitarhals, lokk og bunn. Acoustic/semi-acoustic guitar made from fully welded steel plates. In order to create a new sound image, the invention is that the guitar's acoustic part, called the body, is made in a welded part, consisting of 9mm steel plates, which are cut and shaped like a guitar, made with cavities, resonance rooms like on a normal acoustic guitar. Back plate (bottom) and top plate (lid) are shaped, two paths are curved with e.g. an English wheel. This is to achieve a beautiful appearance and to achieve the right resonance in the sound. In addition, a solid self-supporting shell construction is achieved. The aim is that it "sings", reverberation is created in the steel walls themselves and that a special sound is thereby created, completely different from what is usual with wooden guitars. A sound of its own, which is particularly suitable for certain types of music, e.g. blues, jazz, etc. In addition, I recommend picking up the sound further to amplifiers via two different systems at the same time: 1: via a built-in microphone (like on an acoustic guitar) and 2: via pickups, which pick up the sound directly from the strings (like on a electric guitar). This will provide unique opportunities for mixing sound (especially advantageous on stage or during live recording). The guitar body should not be thicker than 3-5 cm. It should be fully welded so that the sound (vibrations from the strings) can propagate effectively from the strings via the guitar's neck, lid and base.

Tittel Akustisk/semiakustisk gitar, fremstilt av helsveisede stålplater. Title Acoustic/semi-acoustic guitar, made from fully welded steel plates.

Hensikten med oppfinnelsen er å skape en gitar med en pesiell karakteristisk metalisk lyd, som er etterlengtet for mange musikere f. eks. til blues, rock, jazz. The purpose of the invention is to create a guitar with a special, characteristic metallic sound, which is long-awaited for many musicians, e.g. to blues, rock, jazz.

Bakgrunn for oppfinnelsen Background for the invention

Denne spesielle lyden (som omtalt over) oppnår man ved å bruke metall i resonansrummet (gitarkroppen) Fortrinnsvis stålplater. Andre akustiske gitater bruker som kjent forskjellige tresorter, som er bra til sitt formål, men som ikke har den ønskede lyden for en del slags musikk. I tillegg får man mulighet til å kombinere både akustisk lyd og elgitarlyd i en og samme gitar, uten å ty til kunstige konverteringer (effektpedaler) This special sound (as mentioned above) is achieved by using metal in the resonance chamber (guitar body) Preferably steel plates. Other acoustic guitars are known to use different types of wood, which are good for their purpose, but which do not have the desired sound for some types of music. In addition, you get the opportunity to combine both acoustic sound and electric guitar sound in one and the same guitar, without resorting to artificial conversions (effect pedals)

Kort sammendrag Short summary

Stålplater ca 9 mm. tilskjært i gitarfasong, valset i et "engelsk hjul" og formet svakt buet begge veier (konvekst) pluss en sarg (kant) rundt hele som utgjør "vegger" danner et perfekt rom for den rette resonansen. Lydhull er ikke nødvendig. Det er heller ikke ønskelig, da de lett skaper feed back, og man kobler vanligvis forsterkere til uansett. Steel plates approx. 9 mm. cut in the shape of a guitar, rolled in an "English wheel" and shaped slightly curved both ways (convex) plus a rim (edge) all around that make up "walls" form a perfect space for the right resonance. Sound hole is not necessary. It is also not desirable, as they easily create feed back, and you usually connect amplifiers anyway.

Kort beskrivelse av tegningene Brief description of the drawings

Vedlagte bilder viser eksempel på en helsveiset gitarkropp laget av 9mm stålplate, med plass til batterikasse og "dashboard" til tuning og innstillinger av innvendig lyd. Man ser også festeflens for gitarhalsen og åpningen i lokket til plekterplate med pickups for elgitarlyden, og åpning til stol/m vibarm. Denne konstruksjonen er meget stabil og funker veldig godt. The attached photos show an example of a fully welded guitar body made of 9mm steel plate, with space for a battery case and "dashboard" for tuning and settings of the internal sound. You can also see the attachment flange for the guitar neck and the opening in the lid for the plectrum plate with pickups for the electric guitar sound, and the opening for the chair/w arm. This construction is very stable and works very well.

Konkrete eksempler Concrete examples

Man kan Lage mange varianter av denne gitartypen, f. eks. fullsize akkustisk (såkalt Kassegitar) Men jeg har fått til best lyd med denne "tynne" semiakustiske typen som jeg har beskrevet ovenfor og som jeg også har vedlagt som bilde, men det er jo smak og behag. Som man ser av bildet har jeg smalnet gitarkroppen der som gitaristen vanligvis har innersiden av høyre arm inntil gitaren, for at den skal være behagelig å bruke. Denne konstruksjonen (helsveisede stålplater) kan også brukes på andre strengeinstrumenter om man ønsker den spesielle lyden, f. eks, bass, fiolin, cello, kontrabass osv. Til og med piano/flygel. Det å bruke metall i resonanskasser til strengeinstrumenter er nytt, men metal i lydsammenhenger ellers er ikke nytt, f. eks. klokkespill, diverse slaginstrumenter, xylofon, blåsere m.m. You can make many variations of this type of guitar, e.g. full-size acoustic (so-called acoustic guitar) But I have achieved the best sound with this "thin" semi-acoustic type that I have described above and which I have also attached as a picture, but it is of course taste and preference. As you can see from the picture, I have narrowed the body of the guitar where the guitarist usually has the inside of his right arm next to the guitar, so that it will be comfortable to use. This construction (fully welded steel plates) can also be used on other stringed instruments if you want the special sound, e.g. bass, violin, cello, double bass etc. Even piano/grand piano. The use of metal in resonance boxes for stringed instruments is new, but metal in other sound contexts is not new, e.g. glockenspiel, various percussion instruments, xylophone, wind instruments etc.
