Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of musical instrument accessories, and particularly relates to a saxophone mouthpiece capable of secondary vibration. Background Art

[0002] As an important accessory for saxophone performance, the saxophone mouthpiece has an important influence on the tone color. Generally speaking, when the inner wall of the mouthpiece is straight, the performance will retain more high-frequency tone colors; when the inner wall is curved, the tone color of the inner wall will be more mellow. However, currently, no matter what kind of tone color the mouthpiece is, a flat reed bed is formed between the reed and the mouthpiece of the mouthpiece through a clamp. When playing, the air flow passes through the air inlet between the reed and the mouthpiece, causing the reed to vibrate and produce sound; then, through the concentration and guidance of the reflection wall of the mouthpiece, the volume and sound quality of the sound are enhanced; subsequently, the air flow enters the cavity in the mouthpiece to produce resonance.

[0003] As can be seen from the above, the sound of the existing mouthpiece is generated by the reed vibrating once, and the formed tone color is relatively single. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a saxophone mouthpiece capable of secondary vibration. By adding a vibration component, the air flow forms secondary vibration during playing, so that the tone color is more plump and three-dimensional.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a saxophone mouthpiece capable of secondary vibration, including an opening, a reflection wall, a cavity, and a reed bed, characterized in that: a wedge-shaped platform is provided at the reflection wall top rail near the top rail of the mouthpiece. One end of the wedge-shaped platform coincides with the top rail, and a drop is formed between the other end and the reflection wall; the mouthpiece is also provided with a strip-shaped reed, one end of the reed is fixedly attached to the table top of the wedge-shaped platform, and the other end extends out of the wedge-shaped platform and extends towards the cavity; a gap is left between the reed and the reflection wall at the cavity; the length of the reed is less than the length of the opening.

[0006] Further, the end of the reed extending towards the cavity is a long strip taper or a long strip round head shape.

[0007] Further, the length of the reed is twice the length of the wedge-shaped platform.

[0008] Further, the connection between the reed and the wedge-shaped platform is adhesive connection, riveting connection or screw fixing connection.

[0009] Further, when the reed and the wedge-shaped platform are connected by screws, flat head screws are used, and the screw rod of the screw passes through the reed and then is connected to the threaded hole provided on the wedge-shaped platform; the cap head of the screw is flush with the reed.

[0010] Further, two screws are provided, and the arrangement direction of the screws is consistent with the axis direction of the mouthpiece.

[0011] Furthermore, the reed can be made of a metallic elastic material.

[0012] Furthermore, the reed can be made of an elastic organic material.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective sleeve is sleeved on the tail end of the mouthpiece.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Since another vibrating reed is provided inside the mouthpiece, when the present utility model is played, the air flow passes through the air inlet, first causing the reed to vibrate and produce sound, and then the air flow passes through the reed to produce secondary vibration. The strong vibration makes the playing easier, and the tone color is more layered, three-dimensional, full and pleasant. Description of the Drawings

[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Such as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a saxophone mouthpiece capable of secondary vibration includes an opening 6, a reflection wall 2, a cavity 4, and a mouthpiece bed 1. A reed 8 is fixed to the mouthpiece by a clamp 11 on the mouthpiece bed 1. There is an air gap 7 between the reed 8 and the opening 6 of the mouthpiece. The above structures are all common structures existing in existing mouthpieces. The improvement of the present utility model lies in that a wedge-shaped platform 3 is provided on the reflection wall 2 near the top rail 5 of the mouthpiece. One end of the wedge-shaped platform 3 coincides with the top rail 5, and a drop is formed between the other end and the reflection wall 2. The reed 9 is a strip-shaped component. One end of the reed 9 is fixedly attached to the surface of the wedge-shaped platform 3, and the other end extends out of the wedge-shaped platform 3 and extends towards the cavity 4. The end of the reed 9 extending towards the cavity 4 can be made into a long strip taper or a long strip round head shape. There is a gap between the reed 9 and the reflection wall 2 at the cavity 4 to provide space for the secondary vibration of the reed 9. The length of the reed 9 is less than the length of the opening 6. The length of the reed 9 is twice the length of the wedge-shaped platform 3. The reed 9 and the wedge-shaped platform 3 are bonded, riveted, or can also be fixedly connected by screws 10.

[0021] It should be noted that when the reed 9 and the wedge-shaped platform 3 are connected by screws 10, flat head screws 10 are used, and the screw rod of the screw 10 first passes through the reed 9 and then is connected to the threaded hole provided on the wedge-shaped platform 3. The cap head of the screw 10 is flush with the reed 9. Two screws 10 are provided, and the arrangement direction of the screws 10 is consistent with the axis direction of the mouthpiece.

[0022] In the present utility model, the reed 9 can be made of a metal elastic material, such as a reed 9 made of copper or steel, or can also be made of an elastic organic material, such as a resin that is not easily damaged.

[0023] A protective sleeve 12 is sleeved on the tail end of the mouthpiece.

[0024] When the present utility model is played, the air flow passes through the air gap 7 and first causes the reed 8 to vibrate to produce sound, and then the air flow passes through the reed 9 to produce secondary vibration. The strong vibration makes the playing easier, and the tone color is more layered, three-dimensional, full and pleasant.
