Abstract
A system is provided for indicating at least one selective region of a musical instrument. The musical instrument includes a main body portion, and an elongated neck portion extending from the main body portion. The elongated neck portion includes a plurality of spaced-apart boundaries configured to define a plurality of regions along the elongated neck portion. The system includes at least one physical indicator positioned along a back side of the elongated neck portion opposite to a front side, and further along the back side adjacent to at least one of the plurality of regions. The at least one physical indicator is configured to provide non-visual sensory confirmation of the position of the plurality of regions along the elongated neck portion.
Claims21
A system for indicating at least one selective region of a musical instrument, said musical instrument comprising a main body portion, an elongated neck portion extending from the main body portion, and a plurality of strings extending along a front side of said elongated neck portion from an anchor point positioned adjacent to a first end of said elongated neck portion attached to said main body portion, said plurality of strings configured to extend along said elongated neck portion to a respective plurality of tightening devices positioned at a second end of said elongated neck portion opposite from said first end, said elongated neck portion comprising a plurality of spaced-apart boundaries configured to define a plurality of regions along said elongated neck portion, said system comprising:
- at least one physical indicator positioned along a back side of said elongated neck portion opposite to said front side, said at least one physical indicator being positioned along said back side adjacent to at least one of said plurality of regions;
- said at least one physical indicator being configured to provide non-visual sensory confirmation of the position of said plurality of regions along the elongated neck portion.
A system for indicating at least one selective region of a musical instrument, said musical instrument comprising a main body portion, and an elongated neck portion extending from the main body portion, said elongated neck portion comprising a plurality of spaced-apart boundaries configured to define a plurality of regions along said elongated neck portion, said system comprising:
- at least one physical indicator positioned along said elongated neck portion adjacent to at least one of said plurality of regions;
- said at least one physical indicator being configured to provide non-visual sensory confirmation of the position of said plurality of regions along the elongated neck portion.
A method for indicating at least one selective region of a musical instrument, said musical instrument comprising a main body portion, an elongated neck portion extending from the main body portion, and a plurality of strings extending along a front side of said elongated neck portion from a first end of said elongated neck portion attached to said main body portion, said plurality of strings configured to extend along said elongated neck portion to a respective plurality of tightening devices positioned at a second end of said elongated neck portion opposite from said first end, said elongated neck portion comprising a plurality of spaced-apart boundaries configured to define a plurality of regions along said elongated neck portion, said method comprising:
- positioning at least one physical indicator along a back side of said elongated neck portion opposite to said front side;
- positioning said at least one physical indicator along said back side adjacent to at least one of said plurality of regions;
- and
- providing non-visual sensory confirmation of the position of said plurality of regions along the elongated neck portion.
