Description

S P E C I F I C A T I O N
VOCAL MICROPHONE ATTACHED TO A STRINGED INSTRUMENT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to portable stringed instruments of the type which are played by plucking, especially guitars, ukulele, bass guitar and other stringed instruments but, more particularly to a vocal microphone in combination with pre-amp of these mentioned stringed instruments.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Musicians and singers alike, who both sing and accompany themselves on stringed instruments, are required to stay close to the microphone. Some music's are often accompanied by considerable physical activity on the part of the performer, resulting in his moving away from the microphones and causing erratic amplification of the music. Furthermore, these microphones are typically mounted on heavy stands, which the performer is often responsible for transporting to the place where he performs, at a great personal inconvenience.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is the principal object of subject invention to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument providing for which is in combination with a pre-amp that provides a simple, lightweight, convenient and inexpensive means for freeing a singer who accompanies on a guitar from dependence on conventional microphone stands. With the present invention, he is likewise freed from the inconvenience of having to remain in a relatively fixed location and can actually range about over a considerable area without loss of effectiveness in amplification. Still, another object of subject invention is to provide for a vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument having a flexible goose neck microphone or any type of flexible microphone stand that can be manipulated to any desired position for the convenience of the singer.
A further object of subject invention is to provide for a vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument having a flexible a flexible goose neck microphone that could removably mounted and
demounted from the pre-amp as desired.
Yet, another object of subject invention is to provide for a vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument that could be
manufactured at a reasonable cost.
Other features and advantages of the vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument will become apparent when
considering the following description thereof, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.l is a perspective view of a vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument such as a guitar embodying subject invention;
and
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the vocal microphone in
combination with the pre-amp detached from the guitar as shown in FIG.l ; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 1 .
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like numerals designate same parts throughout, there is shown in the drawings particularly in FIG. 1 , a vocal microphone attached to a stringed instrument such as a guitar G generally designated as 10, which includes a flexible goose neck microphone or any type of flexible microphone stand 1 1 in combination with a pre-amp 12 of any stringed instrument.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this flexible goose neck microphone 1 1 consist of a voice coil 13, a flexible booze neckl 4 with its one end integrally connected to one end of said voice coil 13, a threaded bottom portion 1 5 having a male jack 15a.
The pre-amp 12 as shown clearly in FIG. 2, that is configured to be in a rectangular configuration has an upper flange 1 6 with an integrally connected basel 7. The flange 16 is where the balancer 18, treble 19, mid 20, bass 21 , volume control 22, on/off switch for tuner 23, and LCD tuner 24 is predeterminedly located. In between this volume control 22 and LCD tuner 24 is a slotted female jack 25.
The flexible goose neck microphone 1 1 could be mounted and dismounted as desired by having its threaded bottom portion 15 to be removably mounted to said slotted female jack 25 thereby, the male jack 1 5a is in communication with said female jack 25.
As shown in FIG. 3 is the electrical connection of the system to effect its operation. The flexible goose neck microphone 1 1 is removably mounted to the pre-amp 12. This pre-amp 12 which is secured at the longitudinal edge of the guitar G is connected to one end of the wire 27.
The other end of this wire 27 is connected to the piezopick 28. One end of another wire 29 is connected also to this pre-amp 12. While the other end is connected to the output jack 30 having a battery compartment 31 .

Claims

I CLAIM:
1 . A vocal microphone attached to a guitar, ukulele, bass guitar and other stringed instruments, comprising a flexible goose neck microphone in combination with a pre-amp of any stringed instrument.
2. A vocal microphone attached to a guitar, ukulele, bass guitar and other stringed instruments in accordance with claim 1 , wherein any type of flexible microphone stand could be used instead of said flexible goose neck microphone.
