Abstract
A barrel for a woodwind instrument comprising a threaded bore to promote airflow throughout a woodwind instrument, thus, reducing turbulence, limiting the reflection of sound waves, and producing a sound with reduced amplitudes of overtones. The reduction in turbulent flow, further limits backpressure within the instrument, enabling the user to reduce the effort required to perform actions such as tonguing on said instrument. The barrel for a woodwind instrument comprises a mouthpiece receiver and an upper joint receiver for attachment to a woodwind instrument.
Claims20
A barrel for a woodwind instrument comprising a bore hole wherein said bore hole comprises a threaded bore;
- the threaded bore comprises a plurality of threads and a diameter;
- the bore hole is a through hole, comprising a diameter, traversing the barrel for a woodwind instrument;
- and
- the plurality of threads traverses an interior-facing surface of the bore hole, extending between a mouthpiece receiver and an upper joint receiver;
- and
- each thread of the plurality of threads is arranged in a linear coaxial alignment along the threaded bore.
A barrel for a woodwind instrument comprising a bore hole wherein said bore hole comprises a threaded bore;
- the threaded bore comprises a plurality of threads and a taper;
- the bore hole is a through hole, comprising a diameter, traversing the barrel for a woodwind instrument;
- and
- the plurality of threads traverses an interior-facing surface of the bore hole, extending between a mouthpiece receiver and an upper joint receiver;
- and
- the threaded bore further comprising a diameter;
- and
- each thread of the plurality of threads is arranged in a linear coaxial alignment along the threaded bore.
A barrel for a woodwind instrument comprising a bore hole wherein said bore hole comprises:
- a threaded bore comprising a plurality of threads;
- a mouthpiece receiver;
- and
- an upper joint receiver;
- the bore hole is a through hole, comprising a diameter, traversing the barrel for a woodwind instrument;
- and
- the plurality of threads is circumferentially positioned within the threaded bore, also comprising a diameter, whereby each thread of the plurality of threads is arranged in a linear coaxial alignment along the threaded bore;
- the mouthpiece receiver is a cylindrical cut-out comprising a diameter greater than the diameter of the threaded bore;
- the mouthpiece receiver traversing proximally from a distal end of the bore hole, whereby the cut-out is coaxially aligned with the threaded bore;
- the upper joint receiver is a cylindrical cut-out comprising a diameter greater than the diameter of the threaded bore;
- and
- the upper joint receiver, traversing proximally from a distal end of the bore hole opposite that of the mouthpiece receiver, whereby the cut-out is coaxially aligned with the threaded bore.
