Description

The invention relates to a musical instrument, in particular a clamp instrument for a HiHat machine. The invention further relates to a coupling device for a musical instrument. The invention further relates to a musical instrument system comprising such a musical instrument.By way of overt pre-use, a clamp instrument for a HiHat machine is known. The clamp instrument is attached to a pelvic rod of the HiHat machine. When the HiHat machine is operated, acceleration forces act on the clamp instrument, which lead to the movement of the clamps and to the generation of sound. Such a clamp instrument generates a special sound image, wherein the sound intensity depends on the movement performed with the HiHat machine.DE 41 12 238 A1 discloses a hiticat with a clamp ring. GB 565,460 A discloses a HiHat machine having a branching frame for supporting a plurality of pairs of bowls.It is an object of the invention to provide an improved musical instrument, in particular a clamp instrument for a HiHat machine, which in particular generates a particular sound pattern, enables a high sound intensity and can be recorded in a particularly flexible manner.This object is achieved by a musical instrument having the features of claim 1. It has been recognized that a musical instrument, in particular a clamp instrument for a HiHat machine, can have a clamp part with a plurality of clamps and a stop part with at least one stop body for stopping the clamps, wherein the clamp part and the stop part can be arranged, in particular fastened, on a basin support or a basin rod of the HiHat machine in each case for movement relative to one another by means of the HiHat machine. Such a musical instrument is designed to generate a special, in particular unique, sound pattern and a high sound intensity, and can be recorded in a particularly flexible manner. For example, the clamp part can be designed for attachment to the basin rod and the stop part for attachment to a stand of the high-pressure machine, in particular to the basin support, or vice versa. As a result, the clamp part and the stop part can be moved relative to one another by means of the HiHat machine; in particular, during this movement, the clamps can be stopped by means of the at least one stop body.Sound is generated according to a first mode of play by a corresponding stop of the clamps with the at least one stop body. The resulting sound is short and intense. According to a second mode of play, the clamp part attached to the pelvic rod can also be moved by means of the HiHat machine without contact with the stop part. Sound is generated due to the acceleration forces acting on the clamps. This results in a different sound pattern. The third variant of playing the musical instrument consists in striking the clamp part directly, i.e. for example with a drum stick. The resulting sound image is again different. Due to the possibility of generating different sound images, the musical instrument can be used in a particularly flexible manner.
