Definitions

  • the invention relates to a string for a musical instrument.
  • strings for musical instruments have a continuous core of steel wire, steel cord, natural fiber (mostly sheep or cattle gut), plastic (monofilament or multifilament with many individual fibers) or a combination of these materials.
  • the soul is wound with one or more wires of metal or other material.
  • the wire weaving is often replaced by a silk or Textilbespinnung.
  • the string can also consist only of the soul itself, such as Steel wire on the high E-string of the violin or the high strings on the steel-side guitar or gut in the pure gut string of the high e-string of the violin.
  • these end portions are therefore spun in a conventional manner with textile or silk threads, and these spun with textile or silk threads areas includes in the direction of the center of the string, the sputtering with metal wire.
  • these spun with textile or silk threads areas includes in the direction of the center of the string, the sputtering with metal wire.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a string for a musical instrument, through which the aforementioned conflicting requirements for such a string can be better met and in particular the risk of breakage of the string is reduced in the end of the string. According to the invention, this is achieved by a string according to claim 1.
  • the string With the chucking section attached to one end or both ends of the string, the string can be attached to the voice mechanism or the tailpiece of the musical instrument.
  • This Aufspannabêt which exerts no influence on the sound of the string, may consist of a kerbschreibsver Jardinen material and is virtually arbitrarily dimensioned.
  • the clamping section may consist of a steel wire while the sound generating section comprises a plastic or mineral fiber core or a combination thereof.
  • a fabric hose piece may be provided in which extends both the chucking section and the sound producing section. This fabric hose piece can be so laced or braided and have a diameter such that it contracts automatically under a tensile stress on the two inserted portions and secures the two sections against pulling out.
  • the connection can be secured by means of an adhesive.
  • the clamping section itself may consist of a fabric tube in which on one side the end of the sound-generating portion of the string protrudes.
  • This fabric tube may in turn be designed such that it is tensioned automatically in a tensile stress against the inserted end of the sound-producing portion and / or the connection can be made or secured by means of an adhesive.
  • the rope or tubular Aufspannabites is flexible and extends the also flexible sound generating section.
  • end heads are used only for attachment of the string to the corresponding fasteners of the musical instrument, but they do not represent extensions of the sound-producing portion in running between the fasteners of the musical instrument, free area of the string.
  • the strings 1 are attached to a tailpiece 3, at its second end they are fixed to whirls 5 a voice mechanics 6.
  • the vertebrae 5 may have a hole through which the end of the string 1 is inserted, which is wrapped around in its subsequent area several times around the vortex 5.
  • the vertebrae 5 are about actuators 8 rotatable, whereby the string tension and thus the tone of the string is changeable.
  • the structure of an embodiment of a string according to the invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the tailpiece 3 the web 2 and the upper saddle 4 are shown schematically in section, the vortex 5 schematically in a perspective view and the string 1 in side view.
  • the string 1 comprises a middle sound generating section 9, which extends in the region between the upper saddle 4 and the web 2 and slightly above the upper saddle 4 in the direction of the vortex 5 and slightly beyond the web 2 in the direction of the tailpiece 3.
  • the sound-generating section 9 of the string is formed by a core 10, which is surrounded by a Bespinnung 11.
  • the core 10 may be made of steel, a natural fiber (eg, sheep or bovine intestine), plastic or mineral fiber.
  • Bespinnung 11 usually metal wires are used. The end regions of the core 10 remain free of the Bespinnung 11. Over these end portions of the soul 10, a fabric tube is pushed in each case, which forms a Aufspannabrough the string.
  • the fabric tube is braided or braided and has an inner diameter adapted to the diameter of the core 10, wherein insertion of the end of the core 10 into the fabric tube is just possible.
  • the entanglement angle of the fabric tube forming the clamping section 12 is selected such that the fabric tube contracts or exerts a tendency to reduce its inside diameter by applying a tensile force acting in the longitudinal direction.
  • the core 10 is fixed during the tensioning of the string 1 in the fabric tube forming the clamping section 12.
  • a bonding of the core 10 with the fabric tube forming the clamping section 12 is preferably provided, wherein, for example, a superglue can be used.
  • the fabric tube is provided with a loop 13, whereby the string 1 can be fastened to the tailpiece 3 in a simple manner.
  • the clamping section 12 could consist of a piece of wire. This is to be connected to the tone-generating section of the string, namely about a fabric hose fitting into which the end of the sound generating portion 9 and the end of the wire piece forming the chuck portion 12 are inserted, which may be additionally bonded to this fabric hose piece.
  • a string according to the invention also has the advantage, especially in the case of very expensive string souls such as sheep intestine, of saving on the string core of the sound-generating section.
  • a fabric tube which is suitable for connecting the sound-generating portion of the string to the chucking section 12 or itself may form the chucking section may be made of polyester or nylon, for example.
