摘要: Means for adjusting the touch force required to depress the keys of a piano within the range normally preferred by pianists, comprising a plurality of spring member means having a relatively small spring constant (low stiffness). Each spring member means is connected at one of its ends to one of piano keys near the fulcrum thereof. Each spring member means is connected at its other end to a beam located above the keys and extending transversely thereof the full length of the keyboard. At least one of the connections of each spring member means is adjustable. The beam may be a single continuous member, or it may be made up of segments corresponding to groups of adjacent keys. In the initial adjustment each spring member means is typically prestressed by means of its adjustable connection to set the static touch force of its respective key to the desired value.

摘要: Tuning pins that provide adjustable torque, mount directly onto the string plate of a piano, and require no wrest plank. The pins have threaded cores that resemble conventional tuning pins except for coarser threads, and have coaxial collars intermediate their length. Torque is adjusted with a locknut that is also used to mount the pin. Torque is developed by lubricated friction interfaces. Each lubricated friction interface comprises a stationary friction element, a friction element that turns with the pin, and a film of lubricant material between the two. The lubricant material may be hydrodynamic fluid or solid. One or more compliance elements, assembled onto the core, provide compensation for wear and vernier adjustment of torque. In the preferred embodiments the compliance elements are Belleville type spring washers that also act as friction elements. Cores can be made with integral collars, or the collars can be separate parts that are secured to the core. Cores can be made by re-threading conventional tuning pins.
摘要翻译: 调节引脚提供可调节的扭矩,直接安装在钢琴的琴弦板上,不需要摆动板条。 针脚具有类似于常规调音销的螺纹芯,除了较粗的螺纹,并且在它们的长度之间具有同轴的轴环。 扭矩用一个也用于安装销钉的锁紧螺母进行调整。 扭矩由润滑摩擦接口开发。 每个润滑摩擦接口包括固定摩擦元件,与销一起转动的摩擦元件和两者之间的润滑剂材料膜。 润滑剂材料可以是流体动力学流体或固体。 组装到芯上的一个或多个顺应元件为扭矩的磨损和游标调节提供补偿。 在优选实施例中,顺应性元件是还充当摩擦元件的贝氏弹簧垫圈。 内芯可以用整体的套环制成,或者套环可以是固定到芯体上的分离部件。 芯可以通过重新使用传统的调谐引脚来制作。

摘要: An augmented bass hammer striking distance is provided in both upright and grand pianos. At least those strings in the bass section having an optimum striking distance (d) to speaking length (L) ratio (d/L) of a value greater than 1/7 have their hammers located at a striking distance (d) along their lengths as determined by their optimum d/L value. The hammers of all of the bass section strings can be so located. Alternatively, the hammers of those bass section strings having an optimum value of d/L of 1/7 or less can be conventionally located at the same striking distance (d) determined from a preselected d/L value falling within the range of 1/7 to 1/9, or can be incrementally varied. When the lowest few strings of the bass section appear to have subjectively less apparent fullness of tone, the striking distance of the lowest few strings can be shortened string-by-string toward the low end of the bass section by amounts which will modify their subjective d/L - dependent pitch in 100-cent increments. When it is desired to have a rapid and smooth transition from a first group of strings in the bass region having d/L values greater than 1/7 to a second group of strings in the bass section having d/L values of 1/7 or less, the highest few strings of the first group can have their striking distances (d) shortened string-by-string toward the high end of the bass section by amounts which will modify their subjective d/L - dependent pitch in 100-cent increments.

摘要: A small mass having a weight within the range of from about 50 grams to about 200 grams is utilized in an upright or grand piano to minimize or eliminate a difference in tonal amplitude and/or decay rate between at least two notes produced by playing at least two adjacent piano keys. The difference in tonal amplitude and/or decay rate may occur in a small group or region of notes produced by adjacent keys, or at those notes of adjacent keys located at certain natural scale "breaks". The mass is affixed to that soundboard bridge on which the note demonstrating the greatest amplitude and/or decay rate terminates vibrationally and is located adjacent the at least one string of that note.
