Abstract

The mouthpiece includes a volume (1) between the opening (2) and the connection to the instrument body (6). An insert (7) made of flexible material lies inside the mouthpiece. The length of the insert varies the quality of the sound. The mouthpiece for a musical instrument includes a volume (1) between the opening (2) and the connection to the instrument body (6). The dimensions of the mouthpiece (3,4,5) determine the characteristic of the sound produced. An insert (7) made of flexible material lies inside the mouthpiece. This may be inserted from the instrument end of the mouthpiece, prior to assembly on the instrument body, and may be of a length chosen by the instrumentalist. The length of the insert varies the quality of the sound produced by the instrument. For accurate positioning the insert may lie in contact with the end of the body of the instrument.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour modifier les caractéristiques d'un son émis par un instrument par mise en vibration en résonance d'une colonne d'air. The present invention relates to a device for modifying the characteristics of a sound emitted by an instrument by resonant vibration of an air column.

La mise en vibration de la colonne d'air est traditionnellement réalisée le souffle de l'instrumentiste dans une partie de l'instrument appelée A ce est fixé une anche dont les vibrations produisent les vibrations de la colonne d'air. The vibration of the air column is traditionally carried out the breath of the instrumentalist in a part of the instrument called To this is fixed a reed whose vibrations produce the vibrations of the air column.

Les caractéristiques de l'intérieur du bec agissent sur le son de l'instrument et en conséquence, sur le jeu de l'instrumentiste. L'importance du bec dans l'instrument est primordiale pour la chaleur, tonalité (hauteur, timbre, grain) du son. The characteristics of the inside of the mouthpiece act on the sound of the instrument and consequently on the play of the instrumentalist. The importance of the beak in the instrument is essential for the warmth, tone (pitch, timbre, grain) of the sound.

Ces caractéristiques sont indépendantes les unes des autres et chaque en fourni une association. These characteristics are independent of each other and each provides an association.

Les principaux paramètres du bec (fig 1) sont : le volume général (1), l'ouverture (2), la longueur de table (3), la nature du cordon et de la retombée (4), la hauteur de plafond (5). The main parameters of the spout (fig 1) are: the general volume (1), the opening (2), the table length (3), the nature of the cord and the fallout (4), the ceiling height ( 5).

L'intérieur du bec détermine les réflexions acoustiques de l'onde en vibration. The inside of the spout determines the acoustic reflections of the vibrating wave.

L'instrumentiste recherchant un son a donc à sa disposition sur le marché un nombre de becs qui selon le type vont lui fournir un son (un son par bec). The instrumentalist looking for a sound therefore has at his disposal on the market a number of mouthpieces which, depending on the type, will provide him with a sound (one sound per mouthpiece).

Le son traditionnellement crée par la forme des plafonds, de la chambre du bec et du volume général. Les becs disposent de plafonds grands ou petits et de cotés intérieurs parallèles plats ou concentriques arrondis. The sound traditionally created by the shape of the ceilings, the beak chamber and the general volume. The spouts have large or small ceilings and rounded parallel flat or concentric interior sides.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de modifier les réflexions acoustiques de l'onde à l'intérieur du bec, dans la partie désignée volume général (1) en y ajoutant un élément d'interposition (7) destiné à faire varier ce volume. The device according to the invention makes it possible to modify the acoustic reflections of the wave inside the spout, in the part designated general volume (1) by adding to it an interposing element (7) intended to vary this volume.

Cet élément d'interposition peut être un matériau souple qui se conforme à la chambre lorsqu'il est placé dans le bec, ou une bague qui pourra être ajoutée à la jonction du bocal (6) et de l'instrument. This interposing element can be a flexible material which conforms to the chamber when it is placed in the spout, or a ring which can be added at the junction of the jar (6) and the instrument.

Cet élément d'interposition pourra être de longueur variable suivant le choix de l'instrumentiste. La longueur permettant de contrôler les caractéristiques du son recherché. Selon une variante non détaillée, cet élément d'interposition pourra être également partie du bec obtenu lors du moulage ou tout autre type de fabrication de ce dernier. This interposition element may be of variable length according to the choice of the instrumentalist. The length to control the characteristics of the desired sound. According to a variant not detailed, this interposing element may also be part of the spout obtained during molding or any other type of manufacture of the latter.

Pour assurer toute l'efficacité à l'élément d'interposition, il doit être positionné à l'intérieur du bec de sorte qu'il soit en contact avec l'extrémité du bocal. To ensure the effectiveness of the interposing element, it must be positioned inside the spout so that it is in contact with the end of the jar.

dispositif permet à l'instrumentiste de remédier à l'unicité son attachée à son bec et à son instrument en s'affranchissant des paramètres caractérisation du son amenés par le plafond et les cotés intérieurs de la chambre. device allows the instrumentalist to remedy the uniqueness of his sound attached to his beak and to his instrument by freeing himself from the characterization parameters of the sound brought by the ceiling and the interior sides of the room.

La figure 1 représente en coupe, le dispositif de l'invention. Figure 1 shows in section, the device of the invention.

La modification de la longueur de l'élément d'interposition modifie le volume général de la chambre et apporte l'effet désiré. The modification of the length of the interposing element modifies the general volume of the chamber and brings the desired effect.

longueur de l'onde en vibration n'étant pas modifiée la justesse de l'instrument reste inchangée. length of the vibrating wave not being modified the accuracy of the instrument remains unchanged.

le choix de la longueur de bague l'instrumentiste a le choix son recherché à partir du bec dont il dispose. I1 n'est pas à priori tenu d'être en possession d'un bec spécifique car la modification apportée par l'élément d'interposition est indépendante du type de bec. the choice of ring length the instrumentalist chooses the desired sound from the spout at his disposal. I1 is not a priori required to be in possession of a specific spout because the modification made by the interposing element is independent of the type of spout.

Selon une variante non@illustrée le dispositif pourra être implémenté dans un bec vide fourni avec un jeu d'élément d'interposition. According to a variant not @ illustrated, the device can be implemented in an empty spout supplied with a set of interposing elements.

L'élément d'interposition pourra également avoir une section interne présentant un rétrécissement conique (accélération à l'émission Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la modification de son émis en conservant le grain spécifique au et lui apportant un timbre caractérisé par la longueur de l'élément d'interposition.The interposing element may also have an internal section having a conical narrowing (acceleration on emission The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the modification of its emitted by preserving the grain specific to and providing it with a stamp characterized by the length of the interposing element.
