Abstract
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of devices and systems which may be reversibly coupled to a sound hole of a hollow-bodied stringed instrument for the generation of percussive musical sounds. Various embodiments herein disclosed comprise various means of reversibly coupling a percussive attachment with a musical instrument, and comprise adjustable device body lengths and angular orientations relative to the hollow body of musical instruments so as to allow percussive sound-generating elements to produce musical sounds from within a resonating chamber of the hollow-bodied instrument through interaction with an inner surface thereof.
Claims15
A percussion apparatus for use within a resonating chamber, the resonating chamber comprised of a hollow body portion having a sound hole;
- the percussion apparatus having a percussion apparatus body portion and a snare portion;
- said percussion apparatus body portion having a first end configured for coupling with the hollow body portion through the sound hole and a second end configured for operably coupling with the snare portion;
- said snare portion having one or more flexible elongate percussive sound-generating elements extending outwardly therefrom with a free distal end;
- and
- a portion of said one or more flexible elongate percussive sound-generating elements, distal from a proximal end region, in biased communication with an inside surface of the hollow body.
