Description

Description Description
Titre de l’invention : Médiator pour guitare ou autre instrument à cordes pincées, et procédé de fabrication de ce médiator. Title of the invention: Pick for guitar or other plucked string instrument, and method of manufacturing this pick.
[0001] La présente invention concerne un médiator pour guitare ou autre instrument à cordes pincées, et un procédé de fabrication de ce médiator. The present invention relates to a pick for a guitar or other plucked string instrument, and a method of manufacturing this pick.
[0002] Pour agir sur les cordes d'une guitare ou d'autre instrument à cordes pincées similaire afin de faire vibrer une ou plusieurs de ces cordes, il est bien connu d'utiliser un médiator, c'est à dire une pièce mince en matière relativement rigide (matière plastique ou similaire) saisie entre le pouce et l'index de l'instrumentiste, cette pièce présentant une pointe de pincement destinée à être appliquée sur les cordes de façon à pincer ces dernières. [0002] To act on the strings of a guitar or other similar plucked string instrument in order to make one or more of these strings vibrate, it is well known to use a pick, that is to say a thin piece made of relatively rigid material (plastic or similar) gripped between the thumb and index finger of the player, this part having a pinch point intended to be applied to the strings so as to pluck the latter.
[0003] Pour une personne apprenant à jouer de la guitare ou autre instrument similaire, il est relativement difficile d'apprendre à trouver le bon compromis entre une saisie ferme permettant une action efficace sur les cordes mais risquant d'accrocher ces cordes de façon excessive et une saisie relâchée évitant ce risque d'accrochage mais se traduisant par une action insuffisante sur les cordes. [0003] For a person learning to play the guitar or other similar instrument, it is relatively difficult to learn to find the right compromise between a firm grip allowing effective action on the strings but risking excessive snagging of these strings. and a relaxed grip avoiding this risk of snagging but resulting in insufficient action on the ropes.
[0004] Il existe certes des médiators de différentes épaisseurs et donc de différentes rigidités, qui ne permettent cependant pas de remédier à ce problème ou qui n'y remédie que de façon très partielle. De plus, le risque de glissement du médiator entre les doigts est important surtout si l'instrumentiste transpire des doigts. En outre, le rangement du médiator une fois que l'instrumentiste a cessé de jouer n'est pas toujours très simple à réaliser. [0004] There are certainly picks of different thicknesses and therefore different rigidities, which however do not make it possible to remedy this problem or which only remedy it very partially. In addition, the risk of the pick slipping between the fingers is significant, especially if the player's fingers are sweating. In addition, storing the pick once the player has stopped playing is not always very easy to do.
[0005] La présente invention a pour objectif de fournir un médiator remédiant à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients. [0005] The present invention aims to provide a pick remedying all of these drawbacks.
[0006] Le document AT524090A1 aborde le problème technique du glissement des médiators connus entre les doigts qui les tiennent, sous l'effet de la vibration qui se produit lorsque les cordes sont pincées. Le médiator décrit est essentiellement rigide et présente dans la zone centrale un trou rempli d'un matériau élastique, par exemple du caoutchouc, ou qui est appliqué d'un côté ou des deux côtés sur la zone centrale du médiator entourant le trou et qui recouvre ce trou. Ce document décrit une solution à un problème technique différent de celui mentionné plus haut et ne permettant pas de solutionné ce problème technique. [0006] Document AT524090A1 addresses the technical problem of the sliding of known picks between the fingers which hold them, under the effect of the vibration which occurs when the strings are plucked. The described pick is essentially rigid and has in the central area a hole filled with an elastic material, for example rubber, or which is applied on one side or both sides to the central area of the pick surrounding the hole and which covers this hole. This document describes a solution to a technical problem different from that mentioned above and does not allow this technical problem to be resolved.
[0007] Le médiator concerné par la présente invention comprend, de manière connue en soi, une pièce de pincement aplatie, destinée à être saisie entre le pouce et l'index de l'instrumentiste, cette pièce de pincement présentant un trou qui la traverse de part en part, et le médiator comprend également un élément de saisie qui présente un corps et deux collerettes solidaires du corps, faisant saillie par rapport à la paroi périphérique du corps selon une direction perpendiculaire à la direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre. [0007] The pick concerned by the present invention comprises, in a manner known per se, a flattened pinching part, intended to be grasped between the thumb and the index finger of the player, this pinching part having a hole which passes through it from side to side, and the pick also comprises a gripping element which has a body and two flanges secured to the body, making projection relative to the peripheral wall of the body in a direction perpendicular to the direction going from one flange to the other.
[0008] Selon l'invention, [0008] According to the invention,
- le corps a une paroi périphérique dont la forme correspond à celle du trou et une surface en section transversale qui est de 1 à 10% inférieure à la surface du trou, de sorte qu'il existe un espace entre la paroi périphérique du corps et le bord de pièce de pincement délimitant le trou que présente cette pièce ; et- the body has a peripheral wall whose shape corresponds to that of the hole and a cross-sectional area which is 1 to 10% less than the area of the hole, so that there is a space between the peripheral wall of the body and the edge of the pinch piece delimiting the hole presented by this piece; And
- le corps a, dans direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre, une dimension telle que, lorsque l'élément de saisie est inséré dans le trou, il existe deux espaces entre les collerettes et les surfaces respectives de la pièce de pincement, ces espaces entre les collerettes et les surfaces respectives de la pièce de pincement permettant un débattement de la pièce de pincement par rapport à l'élément de saisie. - the body has, in the direction going from one flange to the other, a dimension such that, when the gripping element is inserted into the hole, there are two spaces between the flanges and the respective surfaces of the pinching part , these spaces between the flanges and the respective surfaces of the pinching part allowing movement of the pinching part relative to the gripping element.
[0009] L'invention consiste ainsi à prévoir, en combinaison : [0009] The invention thus consists of providing, in combination:
- un corps d'élément de saisie ayant, dans un plan parallèle à ceux dans lequel s'étendent lesdites collerettes, c'est-à-dire dans le plan du médiator après assemblage de l'élément de saisie à la pièce de pincement, une section notablement inférieure à la surface du trou dans ce même plan, de façon à former ledit espace, qui est un espace circulaire radial ; et - a gripping element body having, in a plane parallel to those in which said flanges extend, that is to say in the plane of the pick after assembly of the gripping element to the pinching part, a section significantly smaller than the surface of the hole in this same plane, so as to form said space, which is a radial circular space; And
- une hauteur de ce même corps d'élément de saisie telle qu'elle permet de faire exister lesdits espaces entre les collerettes et les surfaces respectives de la pièce de pincement, qui sont des espaces circulaires axiaux. - a height of this same gripping element body such that it allows said spaces to exist between the flanges and the respective surfaces of the pinching part, which are axial circular spaces.
[0010] Il résulte de ces dispositions que la pièce de pincement du médiator selon l'invention n'est pas reliée à l'élément de saisie et qu'elle a au contraire une mobilité par rapport à l'élément de saisie, permettant à un instrumentiste peu expérimenté de n'avoir pas particulièrement à trouver un compromis entre une saisie ferme et une saisie relâchée du médiator. La mobilité ainsi obtenue est déterminée par le rapport précité des dimensions respectives du corps de l'élément de saisie et du trou, de façon optimale. [0010] It results from these arrangements that the pinching part of the pick according to the invention is not connected to the gripping element and that on the contrary it has mobility relative to the gripping element, allowing an inexperienced player does not particularly have to find a compromise between a firm grip and a relaxed grip of the pick. The mobility thus obtained is determined by the aforementioned ratio of the respective dimensions of the body of the gripping element and the hole, in an optimal manner.
[0011] Selon une possibilité, l'élément de saisie est en matériau déformable élastiquement, notamment en une matière synthétique telle que du silicone. [0011] According to one possibility, the gripping element is made of elastically deformable material, in particular a synthetic material such as silicone.
[0012] Un tel matériau est confortable pour l'instrumentiste et, par le fort coefficient de friction qu'il présente généralement, permet une saisie ferme de l'élément de saisie, même si l'instrumentiste transpire des doigts. De plus, la déformabilité de l'élément de saisie dans la direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre permet à un instrumentiste expérimenté de pincer plus ou moins fortement l'élément de saisie et donc de réaliser un bombement plus ou moins prononcé du corps de l'élément de saisie ; ce bombement permet de réduire la mobilité de la pièce de pincement par rapport au corps de l'élément de saisie et donc de jouer sur la mobilité de la pièce de pincement par rapport à l'élément de saisie. Des variations appréciables dans le pincement des cordes peuvent ainsi être obtenues par un tel instrumentiste expérimenté. [0012] Such a material is comfortable for the player and, due to the high coefficient of friction that it generally presents, allows firm grip of the gripping element, even if the player's fingers are sweating. In addition, the deformability of the gripping element in the direction going from one flange to the other allows an experienced instrumentalist to pinch the gripping element more or less strongly and therefore to produce a more or less pronounced bulging of the input element body; this bulging makes it possible to reduce the mobility of the pinching part relative to the body of the gripping element and therefore to influence the mobility of the pinching part relative to the gripping element. Appreciable variations in the plucking of the strings can thus be obtained by such an experienced instrumentalist.
[0013] L'élément de saisie en matériau souple peut notamment être monobloc et au moins une des collerettes peut alors présenter une déformabilité permettant l'insertion en force de l'élément de saisie au travers du trou jusqu'à franchissement de ce trou par la collerette. [0013] The gripping element made of flexible material can in particular be in one piece and at least one of the flanges can then have deformability allowing the forceful insertion of the gripping element through the hole until this hole is crossed by the collar.
[0014] Selon une autre possibilité, l'élément de saisie est en matériau rigide et est alors en deux parties assemblables l'une à l'autre après engagement de l'une des parties dans le trou de la pièce de pincement, chaque partie comprenant l'une des collerettes. [0014] According to another possibility, the gripping element is made of rigid material and is then in two parts which can be assembled together after engagement of one of the parts in the hole of the pinching part, each part including one of the collars.
[0015] Un médiator incluant un tel élément de saisie rigide permet que la mobilité de la pièce de pincement ne soit pas affectée par l'intensité du pincement exercé par l'instrumentiste. Ce médiator est plutôt destiné à un instrumentiste peu expérimenté. [0015] A pick including such a rigid gripping element allows the mobility of the pinching part not to be affected by the intensity of the pinching exerted by the player. This pick is rather intended for an inexperienced instrumentalist.
[0016] Le trou de la pièce de pincement et le corps de l'élément de saisie peuvent avoir des formes très variées, notamment circulaires, carrées, rectangulaires, triangulaires ou en losange ; de préférence, ce trou et ce corps sont de forme ovale, la longueur de cette forme ovale étant orientée perpendiculairement à une ligne médiane de la pièce de pincement passant par une pointe de pincement que forme cette pièce. [0016] The hole of the pinching part and the body of the gripping element can have very varied shapes, in particular circular, square, rectangular, triangular or diamond-shaped; preferably, this hole and this body are oval in shape, the length of this oval shape being oriented perpendicular to a median line of the pinching part passing through a pinching point that this part forms.
[0017] Cette forme ovale permet une bonne adaptation de l'élément de saisie au pouce de l'instrumentiste. [0017] This oval shape allows good adaptation of the gripping element to the thumb of the player.
[0018] La pièce de pincement peut être formée par un médiator classique, présentant une forme générale triangulaire avec des angles arrondis, l'un de ces angles présentant, par rapport aux deux autres angles, un arrondi de diamètre plus réduit de façon à constituer une pointe de pincement des cordes de l'instrument ; dans ce cas, le trou est aménagé à égale distance des deux angles ne formant pas ladite pointe de pincement et est aménagé sensiblement aux 2/3, comptés depuis cette pointe de pincement, d'une ligne médiane de la pièce de pincement, perpendiculaire à la ligne allant de l'un de ces angles à l'autre. [0018] The pinching part can be formed by a conventional pick, having a generally triangular shape with rounded angles, one of these angles having, in relation to the other two angles, a rounding of smaller diameter so as to constitute a point of plucking the strings of the instrument; in this case, the hole is arranged equidistant from the two angles not forming said pinch point and is arranged approximately 2/3, counted from this pinch point, of a median line of the pinch piece, perpendicular to the line going from one of these angles to the other.
[0019] De préférence, l'élément de saisie présente au moins une cuvette aménagée au niveau d'au moins une de ses extrémités selon ladite direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre. Preferably, the gripping element has at least one bowl arranged at at least one of its ends in said direction going from one flange to the other.
[0020] Une telle cuvette permet que l'élément de saisie ait une forme adaptée à la forme du doigt de l'instrumentiste et permet donc de favoriser la saisie du médiator ; de plus, lorsque l'élément de saisie est en matériau déformable élastiquement, une telle cuvette permet de réduire la dimension du corps de l'élément de saisie selon la direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre et donc de favoriser la possibilité de déformation que présente ce corps selon cette direction, afin de réaliser un bombement périphérique du corps tel que précité. [0020] Such a bowl allows the gripping element to have a shape adapted to the shape of the player's finger and therefore makes it easier to grip the pick; moreover, when the gripping element is made of elastically deformable material, such a bowl makes it possible to reduce the dimension of the body of the gripping element in the direction going from one flange to the other and therefore to promote the possibility of deformation presented by this body in this direction, in order to produce a peripheral bulging of the body as mentioned above.
[0021] De préférence l'élément de saisie comprend deux cuvettes telles que précitées, l'une aménagé dans une extrémité du corps et l'autre dans l'extrémité opposée. [0022] La dimension globale du corps de l'élément de saisie et la profondeur de la ou des cuvettes peuvent en particulier être telles que le corps a, entre le ou les fonds de la ou des cuvettes, une dimension de l'ordre de 1 à 3 millimètres. Preferably the gripping element comprises two cups as mentioned above, one fitted in one end of the body and the other in the opposite end. [0022] The overall dimension of the body of the gripping element and the depth of the cup(s) can in particular be such that the body has, between the bottom(s) of the cup(s), a dimension of the order of 1 to 3 millimeters.
[0023] Avantageusement, [0023] Advantageously,
- chaque espace précité existant entre une collerette et la surface correspondante de la pièce de pincement est dimensionné de façon à être apte à recevoir avec frottements la corde d'une guitare, - each aforementioned space existing between a collar and the corresponding surface of the pinching part is dimensioned so as to be able to receive the string of a guitar with friction,
- au moins une collerette est dimensionnée de telle sorte qu'elle ait une dimension supérieure à l'écart qu'ont habituellement, entre elles, deux cordes de guitare adjacentes en l'absence d'une action sur ces cordes ; et - at least one collar is dimensioned such that it has a dimension greater than the distance that two adjacent guitar strings usually have between them in the absence of action on these strings; And
- le corps de l'élément de saisie a, dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre, une dimension permettant l'insertion de ce corps entre deux cordes adjacentes d'une guitare. - the body of the gripping element has, in a plane perpendicular to the direction going from one collar to the other, a dimension allowing the insertion of this body between two adjacent strings of a guitar.
[0024] Ainsi, la collerette puis le corps sont aptes à être insérés entre deux cordes adjacentes d'une guitare jusqu'à réception des cordes dans l'espace existant entre la collerette et la pièce de pincement, ce qui assure la rétention du médiator sur les cordes. Le rangement du médiator hors utilisation est de cette façon réalisé par simple insertion du médiator sur deux cordes adjacentes d'une guitare. [0024] Thus, the collar then the body are able to be inserted between two adjacent strings of a guitar until the strings are received in the space existing between the collar and the pinch piece, which ensures retention of the pick on the ropes. Storing the pick when not in use is achieved in this way by simply inserting the pick onto two adjacent strings of a guitar.
[0025] L'invention sera bien comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront, en référence au dessin schématique annexé montrant deux formes de réalisation possibles du médiator concerné. The invention will be well understood, and other characteristics and advantages thereof will appear, with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing two possible embodiments of the pick concerned.

[Fig. 5] la figure 5 est une vue en perspective de l'élément de saisie similaire à la figure 3 selon une deuxième forme de réalisation ; [Fig. 5] Figure 5 is a perspective view of the gripping element similar to Figure 3 according to a second embodiment;
[Fig. 6] la figure 6 est une vue du médiator similaire à la figure 1, ayant l'élément de saisie montré sur la figure 5, le médiator étant engagé sur deux cordes d'une guitare ; et [Fig. 6] Figure 6 is a view of the pick similar to Figure 1, having the gripping element shown in Figure 5, the pick being engaged on two strings of a guitar; And
[Fig. 7] la figure 7 est une vue du médiator en coupe selon la ligne VII- VII de la figure 6. [Fig. 7] Figure 7 is a view of the pick in section along the line VII-VII of Figure 6.
[0027] La figure 1 représente un médiator 1 utilisable pour jouer de la guitare ou tout autre instrument à cordes pincées similaire. Figure 1 represents a pick 1 usable for playing the guitar or any other similar plucked string instrument.
[0028] Ce médiator 1 est formé par une pièce de pincement 2 montrée par la figure 2 et par un élément de saisie 3 montré par la figure 3, cet élément de saisie 3 étant monté sur la pièce de pincement 2 par insertion dans un trou 4, visible sur la figure 2, que présente la pièce de pincement 2. This pick 1 is formed by a pinch piece 2 shown in Figure 2 and by a gripping element 3 shown in Figure 3, this gripping element 3 being mounted on the pinch piece 2 by insertion into a hole 4, visible in Figure 2, which the pinch piece 2 presents.
[0029] Cette dernière peut notamment être formée par un médiator classique, c'est-à- dire présentant une forme très généralement triangulaire avec des angles arrondis, l'un de ces angles présentant, par rapport aux deux autres angles, un arrondi de diamètre plus réduit que les deux autres angles de façon à constituer une pointe 2a de pincement des cordes de l'instrument. [0029] The latter can in particular be formed by a classic pick, that is to say having a very generally triangular shape with rounded angles, one of these angles having, in relation to the other two angles, a rounding of diameter smaller than the other two angles so as to constitute a point 2a for plucking the strings of the instrument.
[0030] Le trou 4 traverse la pièce de pincement 2 de part en part. Il est aménagé à égale distance des deux angles ne formant pas ladite pointe de pincement 2a et sensiblement aux 2/3, comptés depuis cette pointe de pincement 2a, d'une ligne médiane de la pièce de pincement 2, cette ligne étant perpendiculaire à la ligne allant de l'un desdits angles à l'autre. The hole 4 passes through the pinch piece 2 right through. It is arranged equidistant from the two angles not forming said pinching point 2a and substantially at 2/3, counted from this pinching point 2a, of a median line of the pinching part 2, this line being perpendicular to the line going from one of said angles to the other.
[0031] Dans l'exemple représenté, le trou 4 a une forme ovale dont la longueur est orientée perpendiculairement à ladite ligne médiane de la pièce de pincement 2 passant par la pointe de pincement 2a. In the example shown, the hole 4 has an oval shape whose length is oriented perpendicular to said center line of the pinching part 2 passing through the pinching tip 2a.
[0032] Dans la forme de réalisation montrée sur les figures 1 à 4, l'élément de saisie 3 est en une matière déformable élastiquement, présentant un coefficient de friction élevé, et est notamment en silicone, et est monobloc. [0032] In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, the gripping element 3 is made of an elastically deformable material, having a high coefficient of friction, and is in particular made of silicone, and is in one piece.
[0033] Comme visible sur la figure 3, l'élément de saisie 3 présente un corps 5, deux collerettes 6 et deux cuvettes 7. As visible in Figure 3, the gripping element 3 has a body 5, two flanges 6 and two cups 7.
[0034] Le corps 5 a une forme ovale délimitée par une paroi périphérique, qui correspond à celle du trou 4 mais qui a une surface en section transversale plus réduite que celle de ce trou. Cette surface est de 1 à 10% inférieure à la surface qu'a le trou 4 dans le plan de la pièce de pincement 2. The body 5 has an oval shape delimited by a peripheral wall, which corresponds to that of the hole 4 but which has a smaller cross-sectional area than that of this hole. This surface is 1 to 10% less than the surface that hole 4 has in the plane of pinch piece 2.
[0035] Entre les collerettes 6, le corps 5 a une hauteur telle qu'il existe sur le médiator 1, entre chaque collerette 6 et la pièce de pincement 2, un espace 8 permettant le débattement de cette pièce 2 par rapport à l'élément 3, comme montré en traits interrompus sur la figure 4. Chaque espace 8 est dimensionné de façon à être apte à recevoir une corde de guitare 9, comme visible sur les figures 6 et 7. [0035] Between the flanges 6, the body 5 has a height such that there is on the pick 1, between each flange 6 and the pinching part 2, a space 8 allowing the movement of this part 2 relative to the element 3, as shown in broken lines in Figure 4. Each space 8 is dimensioned so as to be able to receive a guitar string 9, as visible in Figures 6 and 7.
[0036] La largeur du corps 5 est par ailleurs telle qu'elle correspond sensiblement à l'écart habituel entre deux cordes 9 adjacentes d'une guitare, de telle sorte que ce corps 5 puisse être inséré de façon ajustée entre ces cordes 9, comme visible sur les figures 6 et 7. [0036] The width of the body 5 is also such that it corresponds substantially to the usual distance between two adjacent strings 9 of a guitar, such that this body 5 can be inserted in an adjusted manner between these strings 9, as visible in Figures 6 and 7.
[0037] Les deux collerettes 6 sont situées à des extrémités respectives opposées du corps 5 et font saillie par rapport à la paroi périphérique du corps 5 selon une direction perpendiculaire à la direction allant d'une collerette à l'autre. The two flanges 6 are located at respective opposite ends of the body 5 and project relative to the peripheral wall of the body 5 in a direction perpendicular to the direction going from one flange to the other.
[0038] Chaque cuvette 7 est aménagée dans une extrémité du corps 5 qui est opposée à l'autre extrémité selon la direction allant d'une collerette 6 à l'autre. Ces cuvettes 7 ont des formes en calotte sphérique creuse. Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 4, la hauteur globale du corps 5 et la profondeur des cuvettes 7 sont telles que le corps 5 a, entre les fonds des cuvettes 7, une épaisseur réduite, de l'ordre de deux millimètres. Each bowl 7 is arranged in one end of the body 5 which is opposite the other end in the direction going from one flange 6 to the other. These bowls 7 have the shape of a hollow spherical cap. As appears in Figure 4, the overall height of the body 5 and the depth of the cups 7 are such that the body 5 has, between the bottoms of the cups 7, a reduced thickness, of the order of two millimeters.
[0039] Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 5 à 7, le corps 5 est en un matériau rigide, notamment en matière plastique et est en deux pièces assemblables l'une à l'autre par tout moyen connu, notamment par collage. Pour positionner ces pièces l'une par rapport à l'autre, une pièce présente une nervure périphérique et l'autre pièce présente une gorge correspondante apte à recevoir la nervure étroitement, comme visible sur la figure 7. [0039] In the example shown in Figures 5 to 7, the body 5 is made of a rigid material, in particular a plastic material and is in two pieces which can be assembled together by any known means, in particular by gluing. To position these parts relative to each other, one part has a peripheral rib and the other part has a corresponding groove capable of receiving the rib closely, as visible in Figure 7.
[0040] Le médiator 1 comprend ainsi une pièce de pincement 2 ayant une mobilité déterminée par rapport à un élément de saisie 3, ce qui permet à un instrumentiste peu expérimenté de n'avoir pas particulièrement à trouver un compromis entre une saisie ferme et une saisie relâchée du médiator. Le rapport précité des dimensions respectives du corps 5 et du trou 4 permet la mobilité optimale de la pièce de pincement 2. [0040] The pick 1 thus comprises a pinching part 2 having a determined mobility relative to a gripping element 3, which allows an inexperienced instrumentalist not to particularly have to find a compromise between a firm grip and a firm grip. released pick grip. The aforementioned ratio of the respective dimensions of the body 5 and the hole 4 allows optimal mobility of the pinching part 2.
[0041] Un médiator 1 à élément de saisie 3 en matériau déformable élastiquement est plus particulièrement destiné à un instrumentiste expérimenté. En effet, la déformabilité de l'élément de saisie 3 dans la direction allant d'une collerette 6 à l'autre permet à cet instrumentiste expérimenté de pincer plus ou moins fortement l'élément de saisie 3 et donc de réaliser un bombement plus ou moins prononcé du corps 5, lequel bombement permet de réduire la mobilité de la pièce de pincement 2 par rapport au corps 5 et donc de jouer sur la mobilité de la pièce de pincement 2 par rapport à l'élément de saisie 3. Des variations appréciables dans le pincement des cordes peuvent ainsi être obtenues par un tel instrumentiste expérimenté. [0041] A pick 1 with gripping element 3 made of elastically deformable material is more particularly intended for an experienced instrumentalist. Indeed, the deformability of the gripping element 3 in the direction going from one flange 6 to the other allows this experienced instrumentalist to pinch the gripping element 3 more or less strongly and therefore to produce a more or less bulging less pronounced of the body 5, which bulging makes it possible to reduce the mobility of the pinching part 2 relative to the body 5 and therefore to affect the mobility of the pinching part 2 relative to the gripping element 3. Appreciable variations in the plucking of the strings can thus be obtained by such an experienced instrumentalist.
[0042] Les cuvettes 7, outre le fait de permettre que l'élément de saisie 3 ait une forme adaptée à la forme des doigts de l'instrumentiste, permettent également de réduire la dimension du corps 5 selon la direction allant d'une collerette 6 à l'autre et donc de favoriser la possibilité de déformation que présente ce corps 5 selon cette direction, afin de réaliser un bombement périphérique du corps tel que précité. [0042] The cups 7, in addition to allowing the gripping element 3 to have a shape adapted to the shape of the instrument player's fingers, also make it possible to reduce the dimension of the body 5 in the direction going from a collar 6 to the other and therefore to promote the possibility of deformation presented by this body 5 in this direction, in order to achieve a peripheral bulging of the body as mentioned above.
[0043] Un médiator 1 à élément de saisie 3 en matériau rigide est par contre plus particulièrement destiné à un instrumentiste peu expérimenté étant donné que la mobilité de la pièce de pincement 2 n'est pas affectée par l'intensité du pincement exercé par cet instrumentiste. [0043] A pick 1 with gripping element 3 made of rigid material is on the other hand more particularly intended for an inexperienced instrumentalist given that the mobility of the pinching part 2 is not affected by the intensity of the pinching exerted by this instrumentalist.
[0044] En outre, le coefficient de friction élevé du matériau formant l'élément de saisie 3 permet de réduire le risque de glissement du médiator 1 par rapport aux doigts de l'instrumentiste même si ce dernier transpire. [0044] Furthermore, the high coefficient of friction of the material forming the gripping element 3 makes it possible to reduce the risk of the pick 1 slipping relative to the fingers of the player even if the latter perspires.
[0045] La forme ovale de cet élément 3 permet quant à elle une bonne adaptation au pouce de l'instrumentiste, et le positionnement précité de cet élément 3 sur la pièce de pincement 2 est optimal. [0045] The oval shape of this element 3 allows for good adaptation to the player's thumb, and the aforementioned positioning of this element 3 on the pinch piece 2 is optimal.
