Letlw's Patent No. 101,742, Intell April`12, 1870.
TREMOLO ATTACHMENT FOR REED OR PIPE-ORGANS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letten Patent and making part of the same.
To all persons to who-m these presents may come:
Be it known that I, MICHEAL J AMES KERIGAN, of Boston, of the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Tremelo Attachment for Reed or Pipe-Organs; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following spe'iiication and represented in the accompanying drawings, of Which- Figure 1 is a top view;
' vFigure 2, a longitudinal sect-ion; and
Figure 3, a 'transversel section of it.
ln suchjdrawings- A represents a close box or chamber, having ,two openings, a b, through its bottom. Such -box or chamber is to be sc conuected with the reed-chambers of a reed-organ that the wind, after being drawn by the bellows through any reed-opening and chamber, shall be caused, in its passage from the reed-chamber to the bellows, to pass up through the opening a', thence through the chamber A and thence out of the opening b.
The said opening a is to be conical or a spherical section, to operate as a seat for alight ball or sphere, B, which is to rest in and upon the seatin manner as represented, the seat bein g cushioned or covered around its periphery with a layer of cloth or other proper material.
A wire or spring, C, is arranged underneath the ball B. and in other respects in manner so as to enable a performer on the instrument to raise the ball by such Wire or spring off its seat, as occasion may require.
This ball will serve not only the purpose of a valve, but may be caused to act as a iremolo, as the player, by pressing up the ball a little, will enable the current of air to keep the ball in vibration vertically on its seat, in a manner to effect the desired tremolo sound of the reed or reeds.
The cover or top of the box A should be so arranged as to prevent the ball from being thrown out of its seat.
I find the ball-tremolo attachment far superior in several respects to the common valve-tremolo.
I claim as my invention- The combination and arrangementof the ball B, the box-conduit A, and the ball-lifter, substantially as described, the whole constituting a tremolo attachment for reed-organs or other-musical instruments.
