  • Publication number: 20230306933
    Abstract: A snare adjustment device includes a snare protection frame having snares connected thereto, a holding body, a slider slidably connected to the holding body and moving the snare protection frame and the snares along with it, a switch member, and a manual lever. The switch member includes a latch section movable by a push section to engage with or disengage from the slider, such that the slider is stopped from or allowed to move, respectively. The manual lever is pivotally connected to the holding body and can be swung up and down for moving the slider. The manual lever includes a lever section, which and the push section of the switch member are protruded beyond a reference side of the holding body. Therefore, a drum player can hit the push and the lever section with a drum stick to quickly switch the snares between a tightened and a loosened state.

  • Patent number: 9159304
    Abstract: A bore-variable leadpipe includes a mouthpiece receiver integrally formed on a tube body of a brass instrument and a mouthpiece adaptor detachably assembled to the mouthpiece receiver. The mouthpiece receiver internally defines a first bore, in which an assembling section, a tapered section and an air-guiding section are sequentially formed. The mouthpiece adaptor has a receiving end for receiving a mouthpiece therein and an assembling end for engaging with the assembling section, and internally defines a second bore between the two ends. When the mouthpiece adaptor is assembled to the mouthpiece receiver, the second and the first bore are aligned and communicable with each other to form a conical passage and a cylindrical passage. The leadpipe can be changed in its bore size by assembling a mouthpiece adaptor of a different bore size to the mouthpiece receiver, so that the same brass instrument can be used with differently sized mouthpieces.

  • Publication number: 20150206519
    Abstract: A musical drum includes a hollow cylindrical shell; a drumhead tightly stretched over and sealing each end of the shell, so as to form a resonance chamber between the drumheads and the shell; and two counterhoops fixed around the two drumheads to hold them on the shell. The shell is provided on at least one end with a flat contact surface for horizontally contacting with the drumhead. The flat contact surface has a radially outer edge forming a curved surface downward extended to an outer circumferential surface of the shell, and a radially inner edge forming a bevel downward extended to an inner circumferential surface of the shell. With the flat contact surface and the curved surface, the drumheads can be more tightly attached to the shell, allowing the vibration of the drumheads to be efficiently transmitted to the shell to produce more saturated resonant frequency and good sound sustainability.

  • Patent number: 7989688
    Abstract: A pedal has a base, two supporting posts, a pedal plate, a first shaft, a second shaft, a chain assembly and two beaters. The pedal plate is mounted pivotally on the base. The first and second shafts are rotatably mounted respectively on the supporting posts, are connected concentrically together and are capable of rotating independently. The chain assembly connects the pedal plate to the first shaft. The beaters are mounted respectively on the first and second shafts. The concentrically connected first and second shafts serve as a crossbeam between the supporting posts to reinforce the structurally strength of the pedal and obviate additional crossbeams that limit the pivoting range of the pedal.
