UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
RILEY BURDITT, OF BRATTLEBOROUGH, VERMONT, ASSIGNOR TO JACOB ESTEY St CO., OF SAME PLAGE.
IMPROVEMENT IN REED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5 1,9941, dated January 9, 1866.
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, RILEY BURDIT'I, of Brattleborough, in the county of Windham and State of Vermont, have invented a new and improved mode of arranging triplicate and quadruple sets ot reeds in a single reed-board or socket-board for all kinds of reedinstruments of music; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accom panying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
rIhe nature ot' my invention consists in so making the reed-board in reed-instruments of music that the three or four sets of reeds which it contains shall be acted upon instantly and simultaneously by the rush of air upon the opening of the valve; and to accomplish this I place two sets of reeds upon the same horizontal plane in the common known form, facing but sufficiently removed from each other to admit between them adequate air com munioation to the third and fourth set of reeds, which I place on an inclined plane, having its base on the same level as the iirst and second sets of reeds, and extending up over the first set, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 3e, B and C being first and second sets, E the valve, and D the pitman or tracker-pin. When the fourth set of reeds is used I place it behind the pitman, inclining to the same base as the third set, butin an opposite direction. By this arrangement the head ot' each reed is equidistant from the valve, each producinginstantaneous concerted sound; whereas heretofore when a third set of reeds has been used in musical instruments it has been placed parallel to the irst and second sets and above them, and consequently farther removed from the valve, so that the air pass ing through the valve would act upon the first and second sets, producing sound before reaching` the third set.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Theimproved manner ot'makingreed-boards in instruments of music, so that the third and fourth sets ot' reeds rest on the same base as the iirst and second sets, all being equally near to the valve.
