Automatic string music tremolo detection method

The invention belongs to the technical field of audio recognition, and particularly relates to a string music tremolo automatic detection method which comprises the following steps: S1, preprocessing and framing an input audio, and extracting time sequence features; s2, obtaining an emotion intensity score through an emotion intensity evaluation function; s3, mapping the emotion intensity score into an expected tremor speed, and obtaining a stable tremor speed through exponential smoothing and amplitude limiting; s4, generating a dynamic threshold value changing along with time; and S5, the main tremolo detector calculates the criterion in parallel, compares the criterion with a dynamic threshold value on a synchronization time axis to determine frame-level tremolo, connects adjacent frames to obtain a tremolo segment, and drives threshold value self-adaption by emotional intensity, so that the detection criterion is synchronized with a playing situation, wrong division and over-division are reduced, and the boundary consistency and the stability and accuracy of tremolo estimation are improved.

Floating tremolo-unit with front mounted spring assembly

A floating-tremolo unit comprises a string saddle-assembly means 13 with a tremolo-arm 11 and Z shaped bracket. The Z shaped bracket extends outwardly backwards and beneath the surface height of an electric guitar, engaging with ball bearings (2, 5, figure 3). The ball bearings are in contact with cushioning means in the form of disc shaped compression springs such as Belleville washers. Ideally the bracket is suspended between two axially mounted columnar sets of the compression springs (3, 4, 6, 7, figure 3). The upper set may have clearance for threaded fasteners to adjust the preloading tension. The string saddle-assembly means may be rotated clockwise or anticlockwise, about a pivoting means to generate augmented or diminished pitch-shifting of notes. The entire unit is front-mounted, thereby not requiring machining operations to the rear face of the guitar body during manufacture. Conventional steel or brass ‘sustain’ block may be incorporated optionally. A multitude of spring tensions may be realised by varying combinations.

Tuning Slide Clip for a Tremolo

A C-shaped tuning slide clip which slidably engages with a guitar tremolo. The tuning slide clip possesses at least one channel, whereby, upon sliding laterally across the tremolo, a string lock screw drops into the channel, thereby manipulating the sound of the instrument. The tuning slide clip is capable of being hooked onto existing tremolos, without requiring the user to disassemble the tremolo. Additionally, in some embodiments, the tuning slide clip includes a toggle screw to prevent disengagement from the tremolo.

Keyboard bag for a keyboard-percussion instrument

The present invention is a keyboard bag for a percussion keyboard instrument (vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, metallophone, glockenspiel, or the like) for safe operation and transportation of the keyboard, which is the most essential and expensive component of instruments of this class. Unlike known bags for a similar purpose, this bag uses special internal bar tabs which, when placed on the keyboard, are inserted into the gaps between adjacent bars, thus separating them and preventing them from coming into mutual contact, under various operating and transporting conditions. This bag helps to protect the keyboard of the instrument from unwanted physical impact and damage and provides for more convenient and efficient mounting and unmounting of the keyboard during assembly and disassembly of the instrument.

Musical instrument bridge system

A bridge for a stringed musical instrument is provided. The bridge is machined solid from various metals, selected for their metallurgic and sonorous qualities. It is machined as a movable one-piece solid body and plate, selectively used in combination with a separate machined tremolo block and tremolo arm, or a fixed two-piece system: a body and mounting plate. Increased mass of a rounded, machined design and the qualities of the bridge metals combine to improve sustain of the instrument. The bridge's preferred rounded ergonomic design allows the player hand protection from the string saddles and screws, the bridge itself visually compliments typical guitar contours and provides a surface for branding. It may replace existing bridges or be used in new instruments.
