Definitions

  • Mouthpiece for brass instruments and method for making the same
  • the invention relates to a mouthpiece for brass instruments, and method for making such a mouthpiece.
  • a mouthpiece that is simple to manufacture, and may be pro ⁇ quizzed m series production with low cost, and which mouth ⁇ piece eliminates the problems of conventional mouthpieces, ensuring the perfect fit of the mouthpiece and the most proper pressure of the musician's lips. Further, it is an object of the invention to provide a method for making a mouthpiece according to the invention.
  • a mouthpiece having a cylindrical part connecting to the instrument and a flanged part engaging the lips, were the flanged part enga ⁇ ging the lip comprises a first flange part being rounded with a rotational symmetry and a second flange part rounded along a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece.
  • the second flange part rounded along a straight line is formed on the flanged part where the flanged part is engaging the lower lip.
  • a third flange part rounded along a straight line, opposite of the second flange part engaging the lower lip
  • the mouthpiece is formed of two parts, the first part comprising a cylindrical part connec ⁇ ting to the instrument, and the second part comprising a flanged part engaging the lips of the musician, and the two parts are interconnected by means of a releasable connection.
  • the cylindrical part and the flanged part are interconnected by means of a threaded connection.
  • the mouthpieces for brass instruments are normally made by manufacturing the cylindrical part, which attaches to the instrument and the flanged part engaging the lips of the musician to exact size by casting, pressing and/or cutting.
  • the mouth- piece according to the invention is manufactured with a process where the first flange part with a rotational symmetry on the flanged part is machined first, preferably through cutting, e. g. turning, and following that the second flange part rounded along a straight line is machined, preferably through a cutting, e g. milling.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of a known mouthpiece
  • FIG. 2a-b. is a schematic drawing illustrating the position of the mouthpiece on the mouth
  • Fig. 3 is a side view of the mouthpiece of the invention, partly in section

  • Fig. 5 is a side sectional view of the flanged part of the mouthpiece of Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 1 shows a mouthpiece with a generalised structure, having a flanged part 1, and attached thereto a funnel 2 with a relatively thick wall and with decreasing diameter, continuing with the cylindrical part 3, with the latter attaching to the music instrument
  • the flanged part 1, the funnel 2 and the cylindrical part 3 are all bodies of rota ⁇ tion having axial symmetry, w th their inner and outer walls having circular cross sections
  • the general structure of the mouthpiece shown on Fig 1 is the same for all brass inst ⁇ ruments, but the geometrical size is different with the different instruments The exact values emerged through experiments and experience during a long time, and today these values are de facto standards.
  • Fig 2a illustrates the placement of a generally formed mouthpiece, e.g. that of a trumpet on the mouth, the teeth and the gums, respectively
  • the flange surface 9 of the mouthpiece is limited by two concentric circles. As it is perceived from the drawing, the flange surface 9 covers mostly the upper teeth 4 and lower teeth 6 , and covers to a small extent also the upper gums 5 and lower gums 7.
  • the lip opening 8 Between the lips pressed against the flange surface 9 of the mouth ⁇ piece and the upper and lower teeth 4 and 6 there is formed the lip opening 8, whereby the lip strings are defined by the part of the lip opening 8 falling within the area covered and surrounded by flange surface 9
  • the mouthpiece itself and therewith the instrument is supported on the fixed upper teeth 4, whereas the width of the lip opening 8 may be varied by moving lower teeth 6.
  • the tension of the lip strings is controlled by the facial muscles.
  • Fig. 2b shows the placement of the mouthpiece of the inven ⁇ tion on the mouth, the teeth and the gums, respectively.
  • the upper part of the flanged part of the mouthpiece is supported by the upper teeth and partly by the upper gum, while the lower part of the flanged part of the mouthpiece is supported only by the lower teeth.
  • the shaping of the mouthpiece according to the invention is shown on Figs. 3 to 5
  • the embodiment shown on the drawings are made of two parts, but a one-part design is also feasible.
  • One of the two parts comprises the 12 funnel and the 13 cylindrical part connecting to the narrow end of the 12 funnel .
  • These parts retain their dimensions characteristic of a given instrument
  • the other of the two parts is the flanged part 11 of the mouthpiece, which is connected releasable to the 12 funnel, on the embodiment shown with a threaded connection
  • the inner surface of the flanged part 11 is formed so that a smooth fit and transition to the inner surface of the funnel 12, providing a smooth continuation thereof.
  • the flange surface of the flanged part 11 is formed so that it has a first flange part 14 being rounded with a rotational symmetry, and a second flange part 15, the latter being rounded along a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece.
  • the second flange part 15 is shaped so that its inner edge is approximately between the inner rim of the mouthpiece and l/3-rd of the radius of the outer rim - measured from the central axis -, but never reaches the central axis of the mouthpiece Opposite of the second flange part 15, there is a narrower, third flange part 16, also rounded along a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece and parallel to the straight line of the second flange part 15 (Fig. 4.) .
  • the mouthpiece with the variable flange cross-section is shaped so that the flange surface is pressing the lips of the person playing on the instrument exactly at the right position, and is fixing it at the same time.
  • the forming of the necessary lip opening for sounding the instrument properly is greatly facilitated.
  • the use of the instrument is not exhausting for the musician, even after longer playtime.

Abstract

Embouchure, particulièrement destinée aux instruments à vent en cuivre, présentant une partie cylindrique s'adaptant sur l'instrument et une collerette sur laquelle s'adaptent les lèvres, caractérisée par le fait que la collerette (11) sur laquelle s'engage la lèvre comporte un premier rebord (14) arrondi à symétrie de révolution et un deuxième rebord (15) arrondi suivant une ligne droite perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de l'embouchure. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'embouchure destinée particulièrement aux instruments à vent en cuivre, dans lequel les pièces à symétrie de révolution (partie cylindrique, collerette) sont formées à la dimension exacte par coulée, pressage et/ou découpe, caractérisé par le fait que le premier rebord (14) à symétrie de révolution sur la collerette (11) est usiné en premier, de préférence par découpe, par exemple au tour, et qu'ensuite le deuxième rebord arrondi (15) suivant une ligne droite est usiné, de préférence par découpe, par exemple par fraisage.
