摘要: A brass instrument according to an embodiment comprises a main tube extending from a mouthpiece receiver to a bell, the main tube including a first divided part, a second divided part, and a third divided part sequentially divided on an airway path from the mouthpiece receiver to the bell, a first tuning slide connecting the first divided part and the second divided part, and a second tuning slide connecting the second divided part and the third divided part. The first tuning slide and the second tuning slide adjust a total length of the main tube.

摘要: Disclosed is a pitch adjuster for a musical instrument having valves for selectively directing air flow through additional tubes and tuning slides on at least some of the additional tubes. The pitch adjuster automatically adjusts the tuning slides depending upon which valves are directing the air flow to pass through their additional tubes. There are a pair of adjustable linear solenoids connected between the additional tubes and their tuning slides, each of which adjusts the tuning slide when the solenoid is energized. There are sensors to detect whether each valve is directing the air flow through its additional tube. There is also a controller connected to sensors and solenoid for energizing the selected solenoids when the controller receives input from at least two sensors that the valves are directing the air flow to pass through their additional tubes.

摘要: A barrel for a musical instrument is disclosed herein. The barrel includes a top section, a bottom section, an adjustment ring and a bore through the center. The barrel and bore length are configured to be adjusted with the adjustment ring. The barrel may include haptic features which provide feedback to a user regarding adjustments to the length of the bore and barrel. A trilobe socket and trilobe plug may be included and are configured to connect to prevent the barrel from slipping when manipulated and provide structural support. A tapered bore and bore choke provide additional structural stability and acoustic flexibility to the barrel.

摘要: Disclosed is a tuning guide for tuning a brass musical instrument having a tuning slide. The tuning guide includes (1) visual markings provided along one arm of the tuning slide indicating a plurality of tuning positions of the tuning slide and (2) a tuning log for logging a tuning history specific to both the instrument and a particular player of the instrument. The tuning log includes a plurality of tuning records, each tuning record including (i) one or more conditions fields, each conditions field for recording an environmental condition and (ii) a tuning position field for specifying a tuning position at which the instrument is properly tuned under the environmental conditions recorded in the one or more conditions fields.
