Definitions
- This invention relates to a handrest intended to facilitate the support of woodwind instruments and sii ⁇ iilar objects.
- a belt passing behind the player's neck was used to carry heavier instruments, such as for instance a saxophone.
- the weight of the mstrument is shifted from the thumb to the fold between the thumb and the index finger. This reduces the strain on the sheath of the tendon, and the thumb will no longer grow a callus. This allows longer practicing periods and more rapid achievements, while providing more sensitive fingering techniques.
- the handrest of the invention is characterised in having a turning joint at the point of the palm, allowing adjustment of the instrument position by means of adjusting members with a view to optimal hand trajectories for different playing styles and hands.
- figure 1 shows the handrest viewed from the user's right-hand side
- figure 2 shows the handrest from the user's view
- the handrest is fastened to the object to be supported by means of a fastening loop 1 which is tightened around the object.
- the fastening loop varies in size as a func- tion of the diameter of the instrument.
- Attached to the fastening ring is a counterbalance support 2, which allows the balance to be maintained during open G fingering.
- Attached to the fastening loop there is also a cylindrical part 3, oriented downwardly in the axial direction of the fastening loop and having a typical length in the in the range from 8 to 10 cm, which allows vertical adjustment of the handrest by means of a slide rail, a telescopic member or similar, in order to provide optimal height for different hand sizes relative to the instrument.
- the instrument comprises a second, shorter cylindrical part 4, connected over a turning joint at angles of 90 ° to the previous part 3, so that the handrest distance can be adjusted by means of a slide rail, a telescopic member or the like, in order to provide the optimal distance for different finger lengths.
- Part 4 is connected over a turning joint to a spacer 5. With the turning joint is locked into different positions, the distance caused by rotation can be controlled.
- the spacer 5 fastens the part 4 to the handle part 6 of the handrest.
- the spacer 5 allows adjustment of the height and angle of the pahn point 7 with a view to optimal trajectories for different playing styles and hands.
- the handle part 6 has been given a shape that fits into the hand, and it is 0 typically made of plastic. It is supported in the fold between the player's thumb and index finger, shifting the weight of the instrument to this area.
