TAILPIECE FOR STRINGED INSTRUMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a tailpiece (40) for an instrument (1) comprising at least one soundbox (10), at least one bridge (30), and at least two strings (51, 52, 53, 54), said tailpiece (40) comprising: at least one fastening device (41, 42, 43, 44) for each string (51, 52, 53, 54) and at least one securing device (46) for securing the tailpiece (40) to the soundbox (10) of the instrument (1), said fastening device (41, 42, 43, 44) being such that at least one of the distances underneath the bridge (34) is different from at least one other, so that the ratio of the length underneath the bridge (34) to the length above the bridge (32), has a different value between at least two of the strings (51, 52, 53, 54), each ratio being able to be written in the form x/n, "x" being the octave level and "n" being the harmonic and being selected from the natural non-zero integers. The invention also relates to an instrument using such a tailpiece and the process for manufacturing such a tailpiece.
