Abstract
A stringed instrument and a ramp which including a flexible plate and a plurality of rotatable elements or screws for flexing the plate to adjust the curvature of the plate with respect to the strings with the rotatable elements or screws rotatably disposed in the flexible plate for flexing the plate to adjust the curvature of the plate along at least two axes with two spaced screws operably disposed in the plate for flexing the plate in relation to the adjacent string, so that the distance between each string and the flexible plate is adjusted to the desired specifications of the musician.
Claims25
A ramp for a stringed instrument, said ramp comprises;
- a flexible plate;
- a second plate, wherein the first plate is flexible and disposed above the second plate, and a plurality of rotatable elements rotably interacting through the first plate to the second plate for flexing the first plate, said plurality of elements comprises a first plurality and second plurality, said first and second pluralities being spacedly disposed;
- wherein with rotation of the rotatable elements a curvature in the first plate is adjusted;
- whereby with the ramp disposed on the stringed instrument between the strings and the upper surface of the instrument, the distance between each string and the first plate upper surface is adjusted.
A stringed instrument comprising a surface and a plurality of strings under tension disposed above the surface, and a ramp disposed between the strings and instrument surface, said ramp comprises;
- a flexible plate, and a plurality of means for flexing the plate to adjust the curvature of the plate with respect to the strings, wherein the means for flexing the plate adjusts a curvature in the flexible plate along at least two axes, and wherein each said means for flexing the plate comprising at least two spaced threaded members operably disposed in the plate for flexing the plate in relation to one of the strings, whereby the distance between each string and the upper surface of the flexible plate is adjusted.
A ramp for operable disposition on a stringed instrument comprising:
- a flexible plate, and a plurality of means disposed in the plate for flexing the plate in relation to each string of the stringed instrument, whereby the distance between each string and the flexible plate is adjusted.
