Definitions
- the invention relates to a reverberation device that can be detached from a String instrument is attachable, which has a sound box and a fixed the web connected to the sound box with holes for carrying out the Strings, wherein the reverberation device comprises a housing in which at least one coil spring is arranged.
- Such devices are used to generate or reinforce the Reverberation of a stringed instrument, e.g. a guitar. vibrations of the resonance body of the string instrument are transferred to the coil spring and make them vibrate. With the audible sound generated in this way achieved a reverberation effect.
- Previous devices of this type had to cumbersome to connect to the individual strings of the instrument. at this type of connection also poses a risk of damaging the strings and therefore have to be replaced prematurely.
- the invention creates a reverberation device that is quick and easy to use can be attached to or removed from a stringed instrument, and in which there is a risk of damage to the strings or the resonance body is practically excluded.
- a generic reverberation device this is achieved by that at least one outwardly projecting mandrel is arranged on the housing, wherein the mandrel is designed so that it for fastening the reverberation device can be inserted into one of the holes on the stringed instrument. It is therefore not necessary to make contact with the strings in order to achieve the Fix the device, but the device is in the holes in the Bridge inserted. This is not how the classic sound of the instrument, as before affected by the device in its originality, but remains completely preserved.
- the mandrel extends preferably parallel to the coil spring.
- a good fixation of the device on the web can be advantageous achieve that two spikes are provided.
- a damping device for Damping of the coil spring is provided.
- the Damping device a noticeable damping element, which the vibration the coil spring can dampen permanently. If for a short time Reverberation is not desired, the device can be operated turn off the lockable damping element, so to speak. The device does not have to be removed and the musician who plays the instrument does not have to keep the damping device actuated.
- a further damping device that a contains a restoring force damping element. This Damping element only reduces or prevents the reverberation effect during the actuation of the damping device, so that there are various sound effects let achieve.
- the lockable damping element is also preferably included a restoring force applied to a simple and comfortable release of the To allow damping device.
- a pickup in the housing arranged. so that no further device has to be attached to the instrument, if e.g. an amplifier is to be used.
- the Housing side of the reverberation device which is to be placed on the Sound box is determined.
- at least one protective body a soft material.
- Figure 1 shows a reverberation device with a housing 1, which consists of a suitable material such as Plastic, wood or metal is made. From the Housing protrude two mandrels 2, which are preferably made of a non-flexible metal are made and the tips are rounded and polished to a Avoid damaging the strings and bridge of a stringed instrument. On the side of the housing 1, which is intended to a resonance body of the Instruments to be placed, there are protective body 3, the unwanted vibration noises when contacting the resonance body reduce and prevent damage to the paintwork of the sound box.
- a housing 1 which consists of a suitable material such as Plastic, wood or metal is made. From the Housing protrude two mandrels 2, which are preferably made of a non-flexible metal are made and the tips are rounded and polished to a Avoid damaging the strings and bridge of a stringed instrument.
- the housing 1 can also have a safety cord 4, which with a Hook e.g. on one of the strings 5 of the instrument can be hooked to a To prevent the pins from slipping out.
- the tension on string 5 is low, so that no damage to the string 5 is to be feared.
- the Mandrels 2 In holes 8 provided for fastening the strings 5 one with the Sound box of the instrument firmly connected web 9 inserted. About these The vibrations of the resonance body can also be connected to the Coil springs 6 are transmitted.
- the reverberation device is suitable especially good for use with acoustic guitars.
- the reverberation device has damping devices 10, 11 on, which are shown in more detail in Figure 3.
- the damping devices 10, 11 each have a push button 12 which is connected via a rod 13 to a Damping element 14 is connected.
- the damping element 14 is with Damping bodies 15, e.g. made of rubber.
- the damping devices 10, 11 are provided with return springs 16, the push buttons 12 with a Apply force.
- the return springs 16 are arranged so that they strive are to move the damping element 14 away from the coil spring 6.
- the damping device 10 is designed so that damping only occurs during operation, i.e. only as long as the push button 12 in the direction is pressed down towards the housing 1.
- the damping device 11 has a locking part 17, in which the Damping element 14 snapped in by rotating the push button 12 can be.
- the reverberation device can thus be switched off without it must be removed from the instrument.
- a pickup 18 can also be arranged, the a cable 19 is connected to a socket 20. More on using the Pickup 18 useful components such as a switch or a Volume controls can be arranged on the housing 1.
