Abstract: An acoustic material is provided which includes a plurality of wood veneers laminated via an adhesive, in which the veneer is impregnated with the adhesive, and the adjacent veneers are substantially in contact with one another. The adjacent veneers are impregnated with the adhesive in an amount of preferably no less than 1 g/m2 and no greater than 50 g/m2 per unit area in and around a boundary region of the adjacent veneers. The adhesive may be a water-soluble adhesive or a water-based emulsion adhesive. The veneer may be a rotary veneer, a sawn veneer or a sliced veneer. A musical instrument is further provided which includes a sound board, in which the acoustic material is used as the sound board.

Abstract: An adjustable instrument neck stiffener includes end plugs at each end of a hollow composite tube, which is preferably D-shaped, along with an adjusting bolt at one end. A first tension strip connects to one of the end plugs and a sliding element. A second strip, which is preferably made of carbon fiber, is located near the flat surface of the hollow composite tube, stiffening that side of the hollow composite tube. Tightening the adjusting bolt moves the sliding element towards the adjusting bolt end. The tension strip is also tightened, thus bowing the hollow composite tube and the instrument neck downward. This puts the hollow composite tube into compression and counteracts the tension created by the strings of the musical instrument.

Abstract: A sound post, in particular for stringed instruments, and a sound post assembly set. The sound post is composed of at least two sound post components and has end pieces which can be pivoted at the end faces of the sound post. The second sound post component has a threaded portion, and the first sound post component has an inner thread which corresponds to the threaded portion such that the sound post components can be screwed together and thus adjusted vertically or longitudinally relative to each other. The threaded portion has a fine thread. Furthermore, a scale with an equidistant graduation is arranged on one of the at least two sound post components. The graduation of the scale corresponds to the pitch of the fine thread.

Abstract: A musical instrument string covalently and/or ionically bonded with a nano-polymer substance. The nano-polymer substance can be hydrophobic and/or oleophobic, such that it can substantially repel water and/or oils and thereby prevent corrosion, oxidation, and/or other degradation of the musical instrument string. The bonding of the nano-polymer substance to the musical instrument string can also improve the musical instrument string's tone.

Inventor: Charles Greg Deering
IPC: G10D1/10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a banjo with all the wooden parts made from White Oak with the elimination of the conventional metal tone ring reducing the weight and lowering the manufacturing costs. As a result, white oak vibrates at a higher frequency and does not absorb as much of the sound vibrations as other woods so the tone is richer and louder.

Abstract: A board for a stringed instrument which forms a front plate or a back plate of a stringed instrument, includes: a laminated plate that is obtained by laminating a plurality of veneers having a uniform thickness by an adhesive, at least one of the veneers having a different planar shape than the other veneers, in which the laminated plate is curved to be convex toward one surface side and has a thin portion and a thick portion.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to guitars or other string instruments that incorporate materials that are lighter than wood. Rather than achieving weight reduction by solely removing wood, which can weaken the structural integrity of the guitar and negatively alter sound quality, this disclosure provides replacement of removed wood with materials commonly used in aerospace.
