Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of musical instrument accessories technology, specifically a triangular stringed instrument pick that utilizes multiple thicknesses and angles to adjust the timbre. Background Technology

[0002] As a core playing accessory for stringed instruments such as guitars and ukuleles, the pick's structural design directly affects the picking feel, tone, and playing flexibility. It is a crucial vehicle for expressing musical emotion. In string instrument playing, the nuances and dynamic tension of tone are core elements for enhancing musical appeal. The thickness and angle of the pick, as key parameters determining the contact area with the string, force transmission, and vibration feedback, play a decisive role in tone adjustment. For example, in rock guitar playing, subtle differences in pick angle and thickness can directly lead to a significant change in tone, from harsh and flat to thick and articulate. Appropriate pick parameters can help the player achieve a lighter, more nuanced tone in verses. The dynamic expression of creating atmosphere with a pluck and releasing emotions with a chorus, but an improper pick design will make the tone monotonous and lacking in tension. Even if the playing speed is increased, it is difficult to achieve the ideal artistic effect. With the diversified development of music composition, performers have put forward higher requirements for the tone adjustment precision, operation flexibility and adaptability of the pick. The traditional single-structure pick can no longer meet the personalized and diversified needs of modern string instrument performance. Therefore, developing a triangular string instrument pick that can integrate multi-thickness and multi-angle adjustment functions, and has a stable structure and convenient operation has become an important technical direction to solve the existing technical bottlenecks and improve the performance of string instruments.

[0003] However, it still has some drawbacks. For example, most triangular string instrument picks currently used in use employ a single-thickness structure. Even if some products have a thickness gradient design, it is difficult to achieve multi-level and precise tone switching. This cannot meet the diverse needs of performers for rich low frequencies and bright high frequencies within the same piece or passage. Performers often need to frequently change picks of different sizes, which seriously affects the continuity of the performance and creative freedom. Secondly, the design of the blade angle of existing picks is relatively simple. Most products only have a fixed angle for the plucking end, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the touch angle according to the style of the music, such as lyrical melodies or passionate ones. The limited range of tonal expression makes it difficult to achieve rapid transitions between delicate and agile melodic lines and full and powerful harmonic effects. At the same time, although some improved picks attempt to optimize the plucking effect through multi-angle structures, they suffer from problems such as inaccurate angle adjustment and insufficient structural stability. During high-speed playing or playing with large changes in dynamics, they are prone to displacement and loosening, affecting the stability of the performance. In addition, existing multi-functional picks often neglect the balance between grip comfort and structural compactness. Some products have become too large and heavy in order to achieve multiple thicknesses or multiple angles, or are cumbersome to disassemble and adjust, reducing the convenience of actual use.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a triangular stringed instrument pick that utilizes multiple thicknesses and angles to adjust the timbre. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a triangular stringed instrument pick that uses multiple thicknesses and angles to adjust the timbre, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of using a single thickness structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a triangular stringed instrument pick that uses multiple thicknesses and multiple blade angles to adjust the timbre, comprising an assembly connecting post, wherein a fastening connector is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the assembly connecting post, and a positioning adjustment connector is movably connected to one outer surface of the fastening connector.

[0007] Preferably, a second fastening connector is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the assembly connecting column, and a second positioning and adjusting connector is movably connected to one outer surface of the second fastening connector.

[0008] Preferably, a large-blade plucking end is movably connected to one outer surface of the second positioning and adjusting connector.

[0009] Preferably, a small-blade plucking end is movably connected to one side of the outer surface of the first positioning and adjusting connector, and a through hole is formed on one side of the outer surface of the small-blade plucking end.

[0010] Preferably, the thick-end paddle area, the thin-end paddle area, and the second through hole are included, and the thin-end paddle area is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the thick-end paddle area.

[0011] Preferably, a second through hole is provided on one side of the outer surface of the thick-end paddle area.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention, through its primary positioning and adjustment connector, facilitates precise and stable positional adjustment and angle positioning of the primary fastening connector and its associated plucking structure. This ensures the small-angle plucking end maintains a reasonable and controllable working state on the mounting connector, allowing for flexible adjustment of the plucking end's extension length and contact angle according to different performance needs. It enhances operational stability and structural robustness during plucking, preventing structural shifts, loosening, or wobbling during high-speed playing or performances with significant dynamic changes. Furthermore, it facilitates coordinated adjustment and independent control of multiple plucking structures in conjunction with the secondary positioning and adjustment connector. It adapts to the different thicknesses of the thick and thin plucking areas, fully leveraging the advantages of multi-thickness and multi-angle structures in tone adjustment. This allows performers to quickly switch playing feel and tone effects without changing the plucking, improving the smoothness, continuity, and expressiveness of string instrument playing. It simplifies the assembly and adjustment process of the overall structure, reducing the difficulty of use, and enhancing the practicality, versatility, and durability of the entire triangular string instrument plucking system. Ultimately, it provides performers with a more stable, precise, and richer tone adjustment and playing experience.

[0013] This invention, through the design of a large-angle and a small-angle picking end, allows the player to obtain differentiated picking angles within the same picking device. The large-angle picking end has a larger contact area, producing a fuller, richer tone, suitable for expressing powerful musical passages and rich low-frequency harmonic effects. The small-angle picking end has a smaller contact area, producing a clearer, brighter tone, suitable for expressing delicate and agile melodic lines and prominent high-frequency ornamentation. The two working together allow the player to achieve rapid tonal switching and layering during the same performance without frequently changing picks of different sizes, effectively improving performance continuity and creative freedom. Furthermore, the large-angle and small-angle picking ends correspond to different thickness adjustment areas; the thicker pick area associated with the large-angle picking end provides stronger picking force. The large-angle and small-angle plectrums are suitable for fast strumming and powerful playing. The thinner plectrum area associated with the small-angle plectrum provides more flexible string feedback, suitable for delicate arpeggios and single-note melodies. This differentiated structural design not only enriches the tonal expression of string instruments, but also allows players to freely combine the order and arrangement of the large-angle and small-angle plectrums according to the style of the piece and their personal preferences, further expanding the possibilities of musical expression. In addition, both the large-angle and small-angle plectrums are fixed to the mounting connecting post through the first and second positioning adjustment connectors, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of plucking and avoid affecting the performance effect due to plectrum loosening or displacement. At the same time, its integrated structural design also simplifies the player's operation process, making tone adjustment more convenient and efficient, and bringing a more creative and expressive artistic experience to string instrument playing.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-4A triangular stringed instrument pick with multiple thicknesses and angles for adjusting tone includes an assembly connecting post 1. A fastening connector 2 is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the assembly connecting post 1. A positioning adjustment connector 3 is movably connected to one outer surface of the fastening connector 2. This allows for precise and stable position adjustment and angle positioning of the fastening connector 2 and its associated plucking structure. This ensures the small-angle plucking end 8 maintains a reasonable and controllable working state on the assembly connecting post 1, facilitating flexible adjustment of the plucking end's extension length and contact angle according to different playing needs. This improves operational stability and structural robustness during plucking, preventing excessive strain during high-speed playing or playing with large dynamic changes. In the event of structural misalignment, loosening, or wobbling during the process, it is convenient to coordinate and independently control multiple plucking structures with the No. 2 positioning adjustment connector 5. It is easy to adapt to the different thickness characteristics of the thick-end plucking area 10 and the thin-end plucking area 11, giving full play to the advantages of the multi-thickness and multi-angle structure in tone adjustment. It allows the player to quickly switch playing feel and tone effect without changing the plucking, which can improve the smoothness, continuity and expressiveness of string instrument playing. It can simplify the assembly and adjustment process of the overall structure, reduce the difficulty of use, and enhance the practicality, versatility and durability of the entire triangular string instrument plucking, providing the player with a more stable, accurate and rich tone adjustment and playing experience.

[0018] In this embodiment, as shown Figures 3-4As shown, a small-angle plucking end 8 is movably connected to one outer surface of the first positioning adjustment connector 3. A through hole 9 is formed on one outer surface of the small-angle plucking end 8. A second fastening connector 4 is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the assembly connecting post 1. A second positioning adjustment connector 5 is movably connected to one outer surface of the second fastening connector 4. A large-angle plucking end 6 is movably connected to one outer surface of the second positioning adjustment connector 5. The player obtains differentiated plucking angles within the same plucking device. The large-angle plucking end 6 has a larger contact area, producing a fuller and heavier sound when plucking the strings. The timbre is well-suited for expressing powerful musical passages and rich low-frequency harmonic effects. The smaller contact area of ​​the smaller-angled plectrum 8 produces a clearer and brighter tone, ideal for expressing delicate and lively melodic lines and prominent high-frequency ornamentation. The two work together to allow the player to quickly switch timbres and transition between layers within the same performance without frequently changing different plectrum sizes, effectively improving performance continuity and creative freedom. Meanwhile, the larger-angled plectrum 6 and the smaller-angled plectrum 8 correspond to different thickness adjustment areas. The larger-angled plectrum 6 is associated with different thickness adjustment zones. The pick area 10 provides stronger plucking force support, suitable for fast strumming and powerful playing. The thin pick area 11, associated with the small-edged pick end 8, provides more flexible touch feedback, suitable for delicate arpeggios and single-note melodies. This differentiated structural design not only enriches the tonal expression of string instruments but also allows players to freely combine the order and arrangement of the large-edged pick end 6 and the small-edged pick end 8 according to the style of the piece and their personal preferences, further expanding the possibilities of musical expression. In addition, both the large-edged pick end 6 and the small-edged pick end 8 are tuned using the No. 1 positioning method. The joint connector 3 and the second positioning adjustment connector 5 are fixed on the assembly connecting column 1, which can ensure the stability and accuracy when plucking the strings and avoid the playing effect being affected by the loosening or displacement of the plucking. At the same time, its integrated structural design also simplifies the operation process of the performer, making tone adjustment more convenient and efficient, and bringing a more creative and expressive artistic experience to the playing of string instruments. 6 includes a thick end plucking area 10, a thin end plucking area 11, and a second through hole 12. The thin end plucking area 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the thick end plucking area 10, and a second through hole 12 is opened on one side of the outer surface of the thick end plucking area 10.

[0019] Working principle A triangular stringed instrument pick with adjustable timbre using multiple thicknesses and angles is described. The assembly connecting post 1 serves as the core supporting component of the overall structure. First, a first fastening connector 2 is fixed to the corresponding position on the assembly connecting post 1. Then, a first positioning adjustment connector 3 is movably connected to one side of the outer surface of the first fastening connector 2. Simultaneously, a second fastening connector 4 is fixed to its appropriate position on the assembly connecting post 1. A second positioning adjustment connector 5 is movably connected to one side of the outer surface of the second fastening connector 4. A large-angle plucking end 6 is movably connected to one side of the outer surface of the second positioning adjustment connector 5, and a small-angle plucking end 8 is movably connected to one side of the outer surface of the first positioning adjustment connector 3. Utilizing the positioning adjustment functions of the first and second positioning adjustment connectors 3 and 5, the extension length and string contact angle of the small-angle plucking end 8 and the large-angle plucking end 6 on the assembly connecting post 1 are adjusted respectively, allowing the player to flexibly control the plucking according to performance needs. The thickness of the large-angle plucking end 6... The thickness difference between the thick-end pick area 10 and the thin-end pick area 11, combined with the structural characteristics of the large-edge angle, allows for different plucking effects. The small-edge pick end 8 achieves flexible angle and position adaptation through the first through hole 9 and the first positioning adjustment connector 3. The large-edge pick end 6 achieves stable connection and position adjustment through the second through hole 12 and the second positioning adjustment connector 5. During performance, different plucking angles can be achieved by switching between the large-edge pick end 6 and the small-edge pick end 8. Combining the rich tone of the thick-end pick area 10 with the delicate tone of the thin-end pick area 11, and with the precise positioning of the first and second positioning adjustment connectors 3 and 5, displacement or loosening of the pick end is avoided during performance, ensuring stability during plucking. This allows the performer to switch between and express various tones simply by adjusting the structure of this device, without frequently changing the pick. It fully utilizes the structural advantages of multiple thicknesses and angles to achieve flexible adjustment of the tone of stringed instruments.

[0020] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
