MUSICAL APPARATUS COMPRISING A SET OF KETTLEDRUMS AND A DEVICE FOR VIEWING THE PITCH OF THE SOUNDS EMITTED AND/OR TO BE EMITTED BY SAID KETTLEDRUMS

摘要

The invention relates to a musical apparatus comprising a set of kettledrums (1; 1a; 1b; 1c) and a device (2) for viewing the pitch (H) of the sounds emitted and/or to be emitted by said kettledrums (1; 1a; 1b; 1c). Said viewing device (2) comprises: a means for noting the position of a means (16) for modifying the tension of the drumhead (14) of a kettledrum (1; 1a; 1b; 1c); a means for determining, for each kettledrum (1; 1a; 1b; 1c) and according to the noted position of the means (16) for modifying the tension of the drumhead (14) of said kettledrum (1; 1a; 1b; 1c), the pitch (H) of the sound corresponding to said noted position of the means (16) for modifying the tension; a means (22) for viewing, for each kettledrum (1; 1a; 1b; 1c) and in relation to the notes (N) corresponding to the sounds likely to be emitted by such a kettledrum (1; 1a; 1b; 1c), a sound pitch (H), and for doing so for every kettledrum (1; 1a; 1b; 1c) in the set of kettledrums.
