ORGANIC TEXTURE ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM WITH DAMPERS FOR ACOUSTIC GUITARS AND OTHER STRINGED INSTRUMENTS

摘要

A sound resonator device for internal connection to a guitar or other musical instrument that has strings tensioned over a bridge piece. One embodiment of resonator includes a plurality of wound coils made of a harmonically predetermined (consistent or varying) thickness or gauge of metal wire secured to the instrument interior. A series of dampering devices are added for muting the effect of such sound resonation when desired. The dampering devices are activated using either a slider button (for felt dampers) or a rotating knob (for fiber threads).

主权项

1. A sound resonator device for a new or existing musical instrument that has a plurality of strings tensioned over a bridge piece connected to a soundboard, said soundboard having an interior face and an exterior face, said resonator device comprising:
(a) a torsion arm affixed to the interior face of the soundboard; (b) a plurality of involute coil sets, each coil set forming a harmonic section that is capable of capturing a range of frequency energies when one or more of the plurality of strings are played for delayed redistribution to another area of the soundboard, said plurality of involute coil sets being connected at a first end to the torsion arm; and (c) a damper element for selectively engaging with one or more of the involute coil sets to dampen a resonation effect from said involute coil sets, said damper element having an activation button or knob that extends through and to an exterior of the musical instrument.
