Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of musical instrument strings, in particular to an improved musical instrument string. Background Art

[0002] There are many different types of musical strings available today, each performing a different function. A typical guitar uses straight (non-wound) strings (e.g., "gut," metal, or synthetic polymer) for higher-pitched notes; and wound metal or polymer strings (typically metal or polymer wound around a core of nylon or similar material) for lower-pitched notes. Wound strings rely on the additional wire mass per unit length provided by the spiral winding of the wound string to provide an acceptable wire tension for the lower-pitched notes.

[0003] Existing string designs have been refined over the years to provide excellent musical tone, but strings are still limited in many ways. While dirt and oil can be easily wiped off after use, even after hours of playing, strings become contaminated by dirt, skin oils, and sweat. Dirt and other contaminants can penetrate the string's windings, restricting their movement and accelerating string breakage. Currently, strings that have lost their tone quality must be removed from the instrument and cleaned or replaced, a process that is tedious and time-consuming.

[0004] Another problem with traditional strings is that when fingers play quickly on the strings, unnecessary noise is often generated, which requires the user to completely separate their fingers from the strings and reposition the fingerboard. This repositioning action slows down the musician's note changes and further increases fatigue. For this reason, an improved instrument string is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an improved musical instrument string to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows: an improved musical instrument string, comprising a guitar body, six strings and a polymer layer, wherein the six strings are mounted on the guitar body, the polymer layer is coated on the strings, the guitar body comprises a fingerboard, the fingerboard is mounted on the top of the guitar body, the string comprises a string core, a winding layer, a coating layer and a covering layer, the winding layer is wound around the outside of the string core, and the covering layer is coated on the outside of the coating layer.

[0007] Further preferably, the polymer layer is an outer coating, and the outer coating is a thermoplastic plastic having a melting point lower than the crystalline melting point of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0008] Further preferably, the polymer layer is a cover coating, and the cover coating is a fluorinated ethylene propylene with increased lubricity and corrosion protection.

[0009] Further preferably, the polymer layer is a seamless coating, and the seamless coating is a continuously coated FEP adhesive with an average fiber length of 50 microns and a bulk density of 35.g / cm3.

[0010] Further preferably, the polymer layer is a discontinuous coating, and the discontinuous coating is a discontinuous coating of FEP adhesive, with an average fiber length of 50 microns and a bulk density of 35.g / cm3.

[0011] Further preferably, the polymer layer is a polymer cover, and the polymer cover is porous polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0012] The embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0013] 1. The design of the polymer layer on the strings of the present invention can effectively prevent pollutants such as dirt, skin oils and sweat from penetrating into the windings of the strings, avoiding the accumulation of pollutants that restricts the movement of the windings, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of accelerated string breakage due to this situation, extending the service life of the strings, and reducing the trouble and cost of frequent string replacement.

[0014] Second, when the present invention is used, when fingers play the strings quickly, the polymer layer of the strings can effectively avoid the generation of unnecessary noise like traditional strings, making the playing process purer and smoother, which helps to improve the overall quality and expressiveness of the music. Musicians can change notes more smoothly without slowing down the playing rhythm due to frequent repositioning movements, thereby completing the performance more efficiently and effectively reducing the fatigue caused by these extra movements, allowing musicians to maintain a good state even during long performances.

[0015] The above summary is for the purpose of description only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments and features described above, further aspects, embodiments and features of the present invention will be readily apparent by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.
