AI Technical Summary
Existing organs lack the ability to produce a triangle timbre effectively.
The solution involves arranging triangles of different sizes and using a beater to strike them, incorporating features like varying materials and weights to adjust pitch, and employing a celesta soundboard with pins to create a unique sound.
This approach allows for the production of a healing sound with adjustable pitch, enhancing the organ's sound quality and versatility.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an organ with a triangle timbre.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0002] Make an organ with a triangle timbre. Means for Solving the Problems
[0003] Arrange triangles of different sizes, and move the beater (hammer) with the drum pins to strike. Effects of the Invention
[0004] A healing sound can be obtained (although people's preferences vary). Forms for Implementing the Invention
[0005] Arrange triangles of different sizes, and move the hammer (beater) with the drum pins to strike (the pitch can also be changed by materials, weights, etc.).
[0006] In addition, add various functions.
[0007] Keyboard instruments such as pianos have various playing devices (such as rapid repeated striking). If these are incorporated, the soundboard of a celesta is made into a triangle, and the keys are struck with pins.
[0008] If only the upper point is suspended by a thread and the others are kept in contact-free state, to fix the position, a form where the triangle is fitted into the gap of a frame with felt (leaving a margin at the suspension part) can be considered.
[0009] Since it is difficult to strike with the beater and the triangle in a parallel state, it is considered that even if the tip is slightly made into a T-shape or changed to a metal mallet, there will not be much influence.
[0010] Various combinations of the type of hammer (beater), presence or absence of resonance, striking position, etc. can be considered.
[0011] Regarding the way the top of the triangle is suspended, (if you want to be particular about it) if you support it precisely at specific points with adhesive or something similar, the resonance might improve even further.
[0012] I believe that deliberately bending or irregularly shaped tone bars should be experimented with in a wider range of instruments.
Claims
1. This device involves arranging triangles of different pitches and using the pins on the music box drum to move the mallets, beaters, and hammers, producing sound and allowing it to be played.
2. A celesta with its tone bars replaced by a triangle.
3. A frame that maintains the position of the suspended triangle, so that the striking sound is heard as a single tone and does not affect the resonance.
