Abstract
The resonator (1) is associated with wind instruments (S) of the type comprising a bell (C) located in correspondence of its main opening (A). The resonator (1) comprises a resonator element (2) preferably having a concave shape, supported within or in front of the bell (C) so that said concavity is directed towards the latter and that between the same resonator element (2) and bell (C) is defined a light passage (3). The resonator element (2) is aimed to define an auxiliary harmonic box intended for intercepting and reflecting or diverting the output sound waves from said bell (C) in order to increase its power, vary its timbre and/or improve the sound diffusion.
Claims21
Resonator for wind instruments that comprises a bell (C) located at a terminal end and concentric to a main sound opening (A) of said wind instrument (S), wherein said resonator comprises a resonant element (2) arranged to interact with sound issuing from said bell (C) wherein said resonant element (2) defines an auxiliary harmonic surface that intercepts and reflecting at least partially the output sound waves of said bell (C) to increase their power and/or vary their timbre.
-26. (canceled)
A wind instrument that comprises:
- (a) a bell extending from and concentric with a main sound opening of said wind instrument, and (b) a resonant element associated with said bell and arranged to interact with sound issuing from said bell wherein said resonant element defines an auxiliary harmonic surface that intercepts and reflecting at least partially the output sound waves of said bell to increase their power and/or vary their timbre.
