Alphorn mit KlappenmechanikAlphorn with key mechanism
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Alphorn, dessen Tonumfang durch Betätigen von Klappen, die Öffnungen an definierten Positionen des Alphornkörpers verschließen oder freigeben, verändert werden kann. Dadurch wird die Zahl der spielbaren Töne beträchtlich erweitert. Somit sind Kompositionen spielbar, für die konventionelle Alphörner nicht geignet sind.The invention relates to an alphorn whose range can be changed by operating flaps that close or open openings at defined positions on the alphorn body. This considerably increases the number of playable tones. This makes it possible to play compositions for which conventional alphorns are not suitable.
Das Alphorn an sich ist ein bekanntes Musikinstrument, vgl. hierzu z.B. 1). Es besteht im wesentlichen aus einem konischen Klangrohr mit einem Mundstück am schmalen Ende. Durch besondere Anblastechniken lassen sich neben der Grundschwingung des Resonanzkörpers alle Töne der sogenannten Naturtonreihe erzeugen. Z.B. lassen sich mit einem C-Alphorn die Töne C1E1G1C erzeugen, aber nicht Zwischentöne, wie A, F und D.The alphorn itself is a well-known musical instrument (see 1 for example). It essentially consists of a conical sound tube with a mouthpiece at the narrow end. Using special blowing techniques, all the tones of the so-called natural tone series can be produced in addition to the fundamental vibration of the resonator. For example, with a C alphorn, the tones C 1 E 1 G 1 C can be produced, but not intermediate tones such as A, F and D.
Aus der Literatur, vgl. hierzu z.B. 1) sind andere Blasinstrumente bekannt, die diese Einschränkungen des Tonumfangs nicht haben. Als Beispiel sei hier die Klarinette genannt, bei der die Resonanzeigenschaften des Grundrohres durch Freigeben oder Verschließen von Öffnungen variiert werden können. Dies geschieht durch Klappen, die über eine Hebelmechanik mit den Fingern bewegt werden.Other wind instruments are known from the literature (see e.g. 1) that do not have these limitations in the range. One example is the clarinet, where the resonance properties of the main tube can be varied by opening or closing openings. This is done by means of keys that are moved with the fingers via a lever mechanism.
Wegen der Länge eines Alphorns, die etwa drei bis fünf Meter oder mehr betragen kann, ist die Kombination mit einer Klappenmechanik und die Lösung der damit verbundenen technischen Schwierigkeiten nie versucht worden. Ein anderer Grund liegt in der Tradition dieses Instruments. Ursprünglich war das Alphorn ein Signal- und Kommunikationsmittel, das besonders in unwegsamen Gebieten, wie z.B. in den Alpen oder Anden benutzt wurde, vgl. 1). Daraus erklärt sich auch die Länge der Instrumente, die eine Schallübermittlung über große Entfernungen ermöglicht.Because of the length of an alphorn, which can be around three to five meters or more, the combination with a key mechanism and the solution to the technical difficulties associated with this have never been attempted. Another reason lies in the tradition of this instrument. Originally, the alphorn was a signaling and communication tool that was used particularly in impassable areas, such as the Alps or Andes (see 1). This also explains the length of the instruments, which enables sound to be transmitted over great distances.
Als Musikinstrument wurde das Alphorn bisher überwiegend in Gruppen zusammen mit anderen Alphörnern gespielt. Der Erfinder hat experimentell das Alphorn auch in Gruppen mit anderer instrumentaler Besetzung und als Soloinstrument eingesetzt. Dabei macht sich der eingeschränkteTonumfang besonders nachteilig bemerkbar. Die vorliegende Erfindung schafft hier eine deutliche Verbesserung und verhilft dem Alphorn zu völlig neuartigen Einsätzen,As a musical instrument, the alphorn has so far been played mainly in groups together with other alphorns. The inventor has also experimentally used the alphorn in groups with other instrumentalists and as a solo instrument. The limited range of tones is particularly noticeable in this case. The present invention creates a significant improvement here and helps the alphorn to be used in completely new ways,
