Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à une structure de support interne pour un violon (1), comportant un cadre (14) ayant une extrémité inférieure et une extrémité supérieure (5, 6), une table d'harmonie (2) et un fond (4). Un élément longitudinal (7) est placé au moins le long du centre du fond (4), et un chevalet repose contre la table d'harmonie (2) à l'une de ses extrémités et est fixé à l'âme (11) à l'autre extrémité. Cette âme (11) est reliée à un élément transversal (8) fixé sur le fond (4) au niveau du cadre (14). Lorsque l'on joue de l'instrument, le chevalet se déplace latéralement: la corde de mi va appuyer sur l'âme (11), et cet effet se répercute par l'intermédiaire de l'élément transversal (8) jusqu'au renfort longitudinal (12, 13), permettant à ce dernier de se déplacer vers le haut. Le même phénomène se produit lorsque la corde de sol est jouée, mais en sens inverse, c'est-à-dire que le renfort (12, 13) est déplacé vers le bas et l'âme est déplacée vers le haut. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir les effets corrects de pompage et d'acoustique.
