摘要: A saddle for a stringed musical instrument comprising a body having at least one member with a first and second section. The first section, in cross section has opposite ends, and a geometry conforming to the geometry of a slot in a bridge plate and a width approximately equal in dimension to the width of the slot so the opposite ends of the first section tightly fit into the slot when the first section is inserted therein. The second section having a width substantially wider than the width of the first section and having two lateral sides, in cross section, extending from the opposite ends of the first section to form, in combination with the first section, a right-side up “T” fitting such that the saddle possesses a substantially higher resistance to bending forces from tension in the strings in the musical instrument as compared conventional saddle structures.

摘要: A saddle for a stringed musical instrument, which includes a bridge plate attached to a sound board corresponding to an anatomical surface of the musical instrument with the bridge having a slot with a geometry adapted to receive the saddle, comprising a body having at least one member with a first and second section in which the first section, in cross section has opposite ends, and a geometry conforming to the geometry of the slot in the bridge and a width approximately equal in dimension to the width of the slot in the bridge so that the opposite ends of the first section tightly fit into the slot of the bridge when the first section is inserted therein and with the second section having a width substantially wider than the width of the first section and having two lateral sides, in cross section, extending from the opposite ends of the first section to form, in combination with the first section, a “T” fitting such that the saddle possesses a substantially higher resistance to bending forces from tension in the strings in the musical instrument as compared conventional saddle structures.

摘要: A saddle assembly for a stringed musical instrument comprising a saddle footing having a body of any desired geometry and a surface curvature compatible with and conforming to the surface curvature of the soundboard of the stringed musical instrument upon which the body of the saddle footing is mounted with or without the use of a bridge plate, with the saddle footing adapted to accommodate either a conventional bridge or conventional saddle for elevating the strings in the stringed musical instrument relative to the soundboard or upon which a modified bridge or modified saddle is mounted having a geometry which conforms in geometry and curvature to the geometry and curvature of the elongated slot in the saddle footing.

摘要: A musical instrument having a hollow or semi-hollow body and a sound board, representing either the anatomical front surface or the anatomical rear surface of the hollow body, or with the front surface and the rear surface both functioning as a sound board for the musical instrument and having at least one tuned sound port located in either the front and/or rear sound board of the musical instrument through which sound can exist with the tuned sound port comprising a hollow member adapted to be inserted through a hole formed in one or both of the sound boards and having a central opening of predetermined geometry and a length extending a fixed distance from the sound board into the interior of the musical instrument of between 5% and 95% of the distance between the front rear sound surfaces of the musical instrument. The musical instrument is preferably a stringed musical instrument which may include a plurality of panels extending between the front and rear sound boards for enhancing the structural support of the musical instrument and for funneling sound through the tuned sound ports or alternatively the musical instrument may include a plurality of panels extending between the front and rear surfaces without a tuned sound port.

摘要: A musical instrument comprising a body having a front board representing the front surface thereof, a backboard representing the rear surface thereof, a common hollow or semi-hollow interior extending between the front board and the backboard, and a panel board comprising a frame. The frame has a top plate, a bottom plate, a first side and a second side forming a closed unit and at least one slat is disposed within the frame. The panel board conforms to the front board and/or the backboard. The slat may be a single pane or honey comb and shaped to be serpentine, s-shaped, I-beam shaped. In an embodiment, there are at least two slats.
