Winding machine for a musical string

Abstract

Winding machine (1) for a musical string (2) with two rotatable clamping devices (4, 5) for clamping a string core (7) and for rotation about a clamping device axis of rotation (6), comprising a feeding device (11) for feeding a first winding element (13) in a first feeding direction (15) to the string core (7) during a winding process, comprising a deflection device (100) for section-wise deflection of the string core (7), wherein the deflection device (100) together with the feeding device (11) is movable parallel to the clamping device axis of rotation (6) between the two clamping devices (4, 5), wherein the feeding device (11) and the deflection device (100) are designed and interact in such a way that a winding point (17) is formed at which the first winding element (13) is wound around the string core (7),and at the winding point (17) the string core (7) rests against the deflection device (100) and the shape of the deflection of the string core (7) essentially corresponds to the shape of a first contact part (21) of the deflection device (100), which has a convex or a concave shape.
