Description

Support system for woodwind instruments

The present invention relates to a support system for woodwind instruments, and in particular to a woodwind instrument that is played by supporting the instrument with the right thumb like a clarinet, oboe, etc. The present invention relates to a support system for a woodwind instrument composed of a supporting thumb rest.

のうち Among the woodwind instruments, clarinet, oboe, etc. have traditionally played while supporting the instrument with the thumb of the right hand on the thumb rest without using a strap. In recent years, the number of granadilla, which is a clarinet material, has decreased, and musical instruments that are formed by compressing heavy wood chips have also come out. Moreover, the weight of the instrument is heavy, such as adding a key. Therefore, the load on the right thumb is increasing. Especially for children, the elderly, and beginners, it is a big burden to play the instrument with thumb rest alone. In addition, if you continue practicing in such a situation, it will also hinder your instrument. Therefore, in order to reduce this burden, hooks and accessories for supporting the musical instrument with a strap hung from the neck are used (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).

In the clarinet disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, an attachment hole is provided in the upper part of the slider of the movable finger hook, and the strap ring is supported by this attachment hole. By locking the strap hook for supporting the musical instrument to the strap ring to support the musical instrument, it is possible to reduce the burden of supporting the musical instrument with the thumb addressed to the thumb rest.

Since this thumb rest has a strap ring at the top of the slider, when it is supported by the strap, the position close to the instrument body is the support point for the strap. For this reason, since the distance between the strap and the base of the left thumb is close, the strap interferes when the register key is operated with the thumb, which hinders performance. Also, if the instrument is raised higher, it may come into contact with the left thumb, and there is a problem that it is restricted by the strap and cannot be played with the bell raised.

The strap disclosed in Non-Patent Document 2 is used by attaching a short belt-like connector to the thumb rest of a musical instrument as a button, and hanging the metal hook of the strap on the hole at the upper end of the connector.

On the other hand, the strap disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure having a plate-like member having a locking portion with a thumb rest at the lower end of the strap. The thread exposed at the notch of the plate-like member is locked to the thumb rest, and the thumb rest of the musical instrument is lifted by the strap hung on the neck.

There is a difference between the above-mentioned straps that have a locking part (connector) on the instrument side or a locking part on the strap side. This reduces the burden on the right thumb.

Registered Utility Model No. 3173570

These straps have the advantage that they can be used with various types of conventional thumb rests because a separate belt-like connector is attached to the thumb rest, and the instrument is supported using a locking member provided on the strap. Since the support point of the strap is the root of the thumb rest (instrument side), the distance between the strap and the left thumb cannot be kept large, and problems during performance remain.

Also, as a straight tubular woodwind instrument, a thumb hook and ring hook are attached to the tube like a soprano saxophone, and the instrument is supported mainly by a strap using the ring hook, and the right thumb is hung on the thumb hook during performance, and the left hand There is also a type that operates each key while pressing the thumb rest with the thumb. In the case of the soprano saxophone, the ring hook is attached to the upper part of the thumb hook, so the base of the left thumb that pushes the thumb rest interferes with the strap and the bell cannot be raised higher during the performance.

Also, with the above-mentioned strap, when the woodwind instrument is supported so as to be suspended, the strap length cannot be finely adjusted. For this reason, it is not possible to cope with a case where an advanced player wants to accurately set the holding position at the time of performance when playing a clarinet or the like.

Furthermore, when storing the strap, the string connecting the neck pad and the metal hook is often entangled, and there is also the trouble that the entanglement must be corrected each time it is used. Further, when the neck pad is hung on the neck, both ends of the neck pad are narrowed by the hanging strap and the neck is pressed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional techniques described above, reduce the burden of supporting a woodwind instrument with a thumb rest using a strap, and obtain a favorable wind feeling during performance. It is to provide a support system for wind instruments.

To achieve the above object, a support system for a woodwind instrument according to the present invention comprises a pedestal plate attached to a tubular body of a musical instrument, and a finger-hanging plate supported by the pedestal plate and having a pin bearing disposed at the opposite end to the instrument. A thumb rest that is attached to the finger-hanging plate so as to be pivotable around the pivot pin so as to be supported by the pin bearing and has a hole that can latch the hook of the strap. It is characterized by having.

The support system for a woodwind instrument according to the present invention includes a pedestal plate attached to the tube of the musical instrument, a finger hanging plate supported by the pedestal plate, and a strap on the opposite end to the supporting end of the finger hanging plate to the pedestal plate. And a thumb rest including a hook locking portion in which a hole capable of locking the hook is formed.

It is preferable that the finger hanging plate is supported by the pedestal plate through a slider that can slide in the vertical direction.

It is preferable that the slider has an upper end portion bent toward the instrument side, and the upper end portion contacts the instrument through a buffer member.

Further, the support system for a wind instrument according to the present invention is a first slide capable of adjusting and holding a neck pad to be hung on a player's neck and a length of a hanging strap connected to both ends of the neck pad at each end. And a second slide means capable of adjusting and holding the length of the bundle of string groups, and bundling two suspension strings extending from both ends of the neck pad into a bundle of string groups, and the bundle A strap including a band-like body connected to the lower end of the cord group and attached to the other end with a hook that can be locked to the thumb rest on the musical instrument side.

At this time, it is preferable that the neck pad includes a central non-stretchable portion and stretchable portions on both sides sandwiching the non-stretchable portion.

The length of the suspension strap is determined by independent length adjustment of the first slide means and the second slide means, and the length adjusted by each slide means is held. Is preferred.

Further, the support system for a wind instrument according to the present invention is a first slide capable of adjusting and holding a neck pad to be hung on a player's neck and a length of a hanging strap connected to both ends of the neck pad at each end. And a second slide means capable of adjusting and holding the length of the bundle of string groups, and bundling two suspension strings extending from both ends of the neck pad into a bundle of string groups, and the bundle A strap including a belt-like body connected to the lower end of the cord group and attached to the other end with a hook that can be locked to the instrument side, a pedestal plate attached to the tube of the instrument, and supported by the pedestal plate A thumb rest including a finger hanging plate and a hook engaging portion formed with a hole capable of engaging the hook of the strap is provided at an end opposite to a supporting end of the finger hanging plate to the base plate.

According to the support system for a wind instrument of the present invention, by using the strap, the burden on the right thumb holding the instrument can be reduced. Further, since the virtual support point of the strap is below the position of the thumb rest, the distance between the strap and the left thumb is widened, and a three-point support state is obtained. Furthermore, there is an effect that the feeling of wind when wearing the strap and the stability during performance are improved.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a support system for a woodwind instrument of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, as an example of a woodwind instrument, for example, a case where it is used in a B ♭ clarinet will be described as an example. However, other than oboe or the like that supports a hook of a strap with a thumb rest that can be locked. Needless to say, it can be applied to any type of woodwind instrument.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged perspective view showing the overall configuration of a woodwind instrument support system (hereinafter simply referred to as a support system) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The thumb rest 10 in the support system 1 of the present embodiment is of a type in which the height of the finger hanging plate 13 can be adjusted by a predetermined amount in the vertical direction. The thumb rest 10 of the present embodiment is made of a forged product such as brass, and is integrated with a slider 12 slidable by a predetermined amount in a vertical direction with respect to a pedestal plate 11 screwed to the clarinet 2 body and a lower end of the slider 12. And a hook locking plate 15 rotatably attached to the upper surface of the plate opposite to the support end of the finger hanging plate 13 via a pin shaft. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of simplification of the drawings, illustrations of various keys and levers attached to the musical instrument that are not related to the features of the invention are partially omitted.

The pedestal plate 11 has a configuration similar to that of fixing the thumbrest 10 having a conventional shape to the clarinet 2 (hereinafter referred to as a musical instrument 2), has a curved shape that matches the outer diameter of the musical instrument 2, and has a wooden body. Screwed in place. A screw hole (not shown) of a fixing screw 16 is formed at the center of the pedestal plate 11, and the slider 12 is fixed to the pedestal plate 11 with the fixing screw 16 in a state where the position of the finger hanging plate 13 is adjusted. .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slider 12 is an elongated member having a long hole 12a having a slidable length formed in the center, and the upper end of the slider 12 is slightly bent toward the instrument side. It has been. The upper end portion 12 b functions as a steady rest when the slider 12 is fixed to the base plate 11 with one fixing screw 16. A synthetic cork 14 (for example, product name: Hicotex) is attached to the contact surface between the upper end portion 12b and the musical instrument. As will be described later, the upper end portion 12b bears a part of the force acting on the finger-holding plate 13, the slider 12, and the fixing screw 16 when the strap 30 (FIG. 3) is used, as this portion presses the musical instrument. The burden on the fixing screw 16 can be reduced. At that time, the synthetic cork 14 as a cushioning material is used so that the upper end portion 12b does not damage the musical instrument.

The supporting end of the finger hanging plate 13 is integrally fixed to the lower end of the slider 12. Similar to the conventional thumb rest 10, the finger hanging plate 13 includes a finger hanging portion 13a for supporting with the right thumb and a hook locking plate support portion 13b formed at an end portion of the upper surface of the finger hanging portion. The finger-hanging portion 13a is formed in a substantially circular plate shape, the surface with which the thumb contacts is slightly curved, and a thin sheet-like cushioning material 17 is affixed to fit the thumb. As shown in the figure, the hook locking plate support portion 13b has pin bearings 18 at both ends of a rotating pin inserted through the lower end of the hook locking plate 15. The pin bearing 18 is formed on the upper surface of the finger-hanging plate 13 and is easily touched by the thumb. Therefore, the pin bearing 18 is chamfered and finished to have a rounded shape.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each hook locking plate 15 is a plate member having a gentle inclined portion extending from the bottom to the top through which the rotation pin 20 passes, and having an arc shape at the upper end. A hook locking hole 15c (round hole) is formed in the upper part of the plate. As shown in FIG. 1, by holding the hook 36 of the strap 30 in the hook locking hole 15 c, the player can suspend the musical instrument 2 with the strap 30 when supporting the musical instrument 2 with the thumb rest 10. The support by 10 can be reduced. As shown in FIG. 2A, the hook locking plate 15 can smoothly rotate around the rotation pin 20. For example, when the hook 36 of the strap 30 is attached to the hook locking hole 15c and the strap 30 is hung from the neck, the musical instrument 2 is suspended in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. The hook locking plate 15 follows the hanging angle. When the musical instrument 2 is stored in the musical instrument case, the hook locking plate 15 can be folded onto the finger hanging plate 13 so as to be folded.

Here, advantageous effects obtained when the musical instrument 2 is played using the support system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, the player 4 can play the hook 36 of the strap 30 hung on the neck on the hook locking plate of the thumbrest 10 of the support system 1 of the present invention attached to the musical instrument 2. . At this time, the weight of the musical instrument 2 supported via the thumb rest 10 is supported not only by the right thumb 7 but also by the strap 30 of the support system 1 of the present invention, and the burden on the right thumb 7 is reduced. Since the hook 36 of the strap 30 is locked at the outer end (player 4 side) of the thumb rest 10, the distance between the base of the left thumb 8 and the strap 30 can be sufficiently separated as shown in the figure. Smooth key operation of the left thumb 8 can be performed.

Further, the effective operation of the support system 10 of the present invention on the thumb rest and strap having the same configuration as the conventional one described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the hook 30 of the strap 30 is hung on the hook locking plate 15 and the support by the strap 30 is used together while the thumb rest 10 is supported by the right thumb 7. For comparison, an example in which a conventional strap is used together (a type in which the strap ring 50 is attached to the slider 12 and a type in which the belt-like connector 51 is hung on the finger-hanging plate) is also shown in phantom lines for comparison. As shown in the figure, when the support system of the present invention is used, the hook locking plate 15 is located outside the player's right thumb 7 (the player side). The virtual musical instrument support point S1 is located below the thumb rest 10, and the suspension force by the strap 30 (arrow A) is outside the support center point (x mark) of the thumb 7 that supports the finger rest plate 13 of the thumb rest 10 ( It acts as a rotational moment M from the player side) toward the musical instrument, and the weight of the musical instrument on the thumb 7 is reduced. At this time, the musical instrument 2 is supported at three points by the mouthpiece mouthpiece added by the player 4, the thumb support position of the thumbrest 10, and the virtual musical instrument support point S1 below the thumbrest 10 when suspended by the strap 30. Since it becomes a state, the stability of the musical instrument at the time of performance increases more.

On the other hand, in the example in which the musical instrument 2 is suspended by the conventional strap 55 (FIG. 4) (the type in which the strap ring 50 is attached to the slider 12 and the type in which the belt-like connector 51 is hung on the finger hanging plate), The thumb support position and the virtual instrument support point S2 suspended by the strap 55 are almost the same position. For this reason, the musical instrument is supported by two-point support of the upper end of the musical instrument and the thumb position of the thumb rest 10, and even if the musical instrument 2 is supported by the thumb rest 10 and the strap 55, it does not contribute to stability during performance.

FIG. 5 Each drawing shows a support system 10 in which a hook locking plate has a simple shape as another embodiment. The support system 10 shown in FIG. 5A has a structure in which a hook ring 26 is directly attached to a support pipe 25 of the rotation pin 20. The mounting position of the rotation pin 20 is the outer end portion (player side) of the finger hanging plate 13 as in the case of FIG. Since the plate as the hook locking means is a ring, the thumb rest 10 can be finished lightly and simply. The thumb rest 10 shown in FIG. 5B has a structure in which one side 27 a of the triangular can 27 is used as the rotation pin 20. In this case, a short pin support pipe 28 that supports one side 27a of the triangular can 27 may be attached to the finger hanging plate 13, and there is no need to provide a member corresponding to the pin bearing 18 (FIG. 2B).

6 (a) and 6 (b) show a thumb rest 10 in which the slider 12 (FIG. 5 and others) is eliminated and the finger rest plate 13 is directly attached to the base plate 11 as another embodiment. This thumb rest is an example of the simplest shape when the vertical adjustment of the position is unnecessary. The thumb rest 10 shown in FIG. 6A has a structure in which the hook ring 26 is directly attached to the finger hanging plate 13. The attachment position of the hook ring 26 is the outer end portion (player side) of the finger hanging plate 13 as in the case of FIG. FIG. 6B shows an example in which the hook ring 26 is attached in a different direction. Similarly, the hook ring 26 is attached to the outer end portion (player side) of the finger hanging plate 13.

FIG. 6C shows an example using a type in which the hook ring 26 as shown in FIG. 6A is fixed to the finger hanging plate 13 and attached to the embodiment using the slider 12. In this embodiment, it is possible to provide a mechanism that can slide the hook position in the vertical direction with a simple structure. Needless to say, the hook ring 26 shown in each drawing of FIG. 6 may be shaped like a hook locking plate.

FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a thumb rest in which the finger plate 13 and the hook ring 26 are integrally formed. The hook ring 26 has an inverted U shape, and each end portion is integrated with the end portion of the finger hanging plate 13 to form a ring hole 26a. For this reason, even when the hook 36 is displaced in the direction of the arrow B, the hook 36 is not easily detached from the hook ring 26. As the material of the thumb rest, it can be a machined part of brass material or a die-cast member of various low melting point metals. In addition, by applying various types of plating to the thumb rest, it is possible to change it to your favorite tone.

The thumb rest can have various shapes as described above, and the material may be changed depending on the parts in consideration of strength and durability. A product in which metal and resin parts are appropriately combined may be used.

This thumb rest is used instead of the soprano saxophone or soprano thumb hook, which is a straight-pipe woodwind instrument, and the strap-like parts that connect this thumb rest to the strap are used together with the strap hooked to the conventional hook ring. By adding, it is possible to increase the suspension point of the strap and improve the stability during performance.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the strap 30 of the support system 1 of the present invention. The strap 30 includes a neck pad 34 that holds the entire strap 30 on the neck of a player (not shown), and a mini slider 33 as a first adjustment means that can finely adjust the folding length of the end of the hanging strap 31. And a main part 32 as a second adjusting means that adjusts the length of the hanging strap 31 and widens the interval between the hanging straps, and a ring part that can adjust the hanging length L2 of the second hanging portion 31b. The guide tape 35 is connected to the hook ring 26 via the hook ring 26 and the hook 30 is engaged with the strap 30.

As shown in FIG. 9, the neck pad 34 of the present embodiment is made of a cut material of a sheet made of chloroprene rubber that can be expanded when pulled in the direction of the arrow by the string 34 tied to the string attachment holes 34a at both ends. . At this time, the non-stretchable application cloth 34B is sewn within a predetermined range in the center so that only the portion 34A expands and contracts. By changing the range of the patch 34B, the amount of extension of the neck pad 34 is changed, and a plurality of types of neck pads 34, such as a soft type with a large extension amount, a medium type with an intermediate extension amount, a hard type with a small extension amount, etc. Can be selected. It is preferable to use a cloth having quick drying properties and antibacterial properties as the patch 34B. By giving the neck pad 34 elasticity, the feeling of stability of the embouchure (the state of the lips that holds the blower of the musical instrument) during performance increases.

Next, the configuration and role of the main slider 32 and the mini slider 33 will be described with reference to FIG. The main slider 32 is a plate having a wide T-shaped wing shape as shown, and an aluminum plate is used in this embodiment. A plurality of holes are formed symmetrically in the main slider, and are connected to the respective end portions of the neck pad 34 by inserting the suspension straps 31 having a predetermined length from the central portion so as to pass through the respective holes. A first suspending portion 31a located in front of the player's chest and a second suspending portion 31b formed of a string group bundled in a bundle below the central portion of the main slider 32 are configured. In the first hanging portion 31a, the two hanging straps are separated by a predetermined distance (12.5 cm in this embodiment) by the main slider 32. As a result, the lower end of the neck pad 34 is not narrowed, and the player's neck is not compressed when the instrument is suspended (FIG. 3). The operation of blowing in becomes extremely easy. For example, in the case of a clarinet, it is possible to obtain a feeling of playing when no strap is used.

The length adjustment by the hanging strap 31, the main slider 32, and the mini slider 33 will be described. First, in a state where the strap 30 is hung from the neck, the length L2 of the second hanging portion 31b is adjusted and determined in consideration of the player's height and the like. In the case of a normal player, it is preferable to set L2 = about 4 cm. The length of the second suspension portion 31b can be determined by moving the main slider 32 up and down. Note that L2 can be adjusted at any time by moving the main slider 32 up and down. Next, the length L3 of the first hanging portion 31a is determined. The length L3 of the first hanging portion 31a determines the position of the main slider 32 by pulling both ends of the hanging strap 31 in the most extended state. At this time, it is preferable to determine the length L3 so that the main slider 32 comes to a position where it does not interfere with the left thumb. When the length L3 of the first hanging portion 31a is determined, it is preferable to cut the excess length portion of the hanging strap 31 extending from the mini-slider 33 to prevent it from coming off (ball knots, eight knots, etc.) and end-stop processing. . After the length of the hanging string is determined by the above procedure, the length is finely adjusted by moving the mini-slider 32 up and down so that the musical instrument is actually hung and becomes the best position during performance.

A guide tape 35 as a belt-like body is connected to the lower end of the second suspension part 31b via a ring part 35a. In the conventional strap, in order to prevent the right thumb and the suspension strap from interfering with each other, the portion corresponding to the second suspension portion 31b is lengthened, so that the suspension strap is easily entangled. By doing so, there is an advantage that no entanglement occurs. In this embodiment, a thin strip-like cloth tape having a flexible length L1 (about 10 cm in this embodiment) is used for the guide tape 35. A woven fabric or a knitted fabric can be used as the material of the fabric tape. Other synthetic rubber and elastomer tapes may be used. In the case of a tape such as a knitted fabric or synthetic rubber, it can be stretched by a predetermined amount Δ.

The hook 36 is a metal hook obtained by bending a metal wire into a predetermined shape. By providing the straight portion 36a as the shape of the hook 36, the hanging direction of the strap 30 can be stabilized, and the main slider 32 can be effectively prevented from interfering with the left thumb.

By using the strap 30 having the above-described configuration and holding the musical instrument via the thumb rest 10, the player can perform stable and efficient blowing.
