Abstract: A handpan comprises a hollow base body, composed of a lower shell and an upper shell, each in the form of a spherical segment, which are connected to one another, preferably glued, at their mutually facing outer edges, a basic tone field preferably arranged centrally on the upper shell, further tone fields arranged annularly on the upper shell, preferably around the basic tone field, a resonance opening in the lower shell, and at least one further resonance opening in the lower shell, wherein the at least two resonance openings are arranged decentrally in the lateral rising zone of the lower shell.

Abstract: The presence of the described resonance device in the form of resonators (3, 4) influences the vibration characteristics of a membrane (2) in a defining manner and ensures a harmonic relationship between the fundamental and overtones of the drum sound, even if said drum does not have a closed sound box or shell (1). In orchestras and ensembles, but also as a solo instrument, the acoustic presence is improved by the increased energy conversion efficiency of the instrument and by the increased precision of the overtone characteristics with the aid of the ring resonators (3,4). The resonance device therefore enables the drum to be precisely tuned to a fundamental pitch in a given harmonic musical concept.

Abstract: A cajon includes a box-like base body with a lower side, a front, a rear and two mutually remote lateral side walls and an upper side, as well as a playing surface. The base body is provided at the top on the two lateral side walls with widening bodies, which widen the upper side in the lateral direction. The playing surface is formed by the thus widened upper side of the base body lying horizontally in the playing position.

Abstract: A cajón includes a housing with sides forming at least one strike plate. One or several corners of a strike plate protrude beyond a recess of the housing for producing additional sound effects, such as rim-shots and rim-clicks.

Abstract: In the case of a musical instrument, in particular a cajón, with a basic element, the side faces of which are configured as striking faces, provision is made for a striking face to be convexly and ergonomically curved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a musical rhythm instrument (1) with a bell-shaped resonating body (2), in particular of metal, wherein a damping mechanism (13) is provided for damping the vibrations of the resonating body (2).

Abstract: In a musical instrument of the cabasa type having a substantially cylindrical hollow main body with a cover plate, and base plate, and a handle connected to the base plate, wherein between the cover plate and base plate along the outer surface of the main body beaded-string-like sounding bodies are arranged extending in the circumferential direction, which, when the main body is rhythmically shaken, by their movement against each other and relative to the surface of the main body, generate a tone, provision is made that the cover plate and/or the base plate are provided with openings.

Abstract: A cajon comprising a cuboid housing made of wood, wherein one side serves as the playing side and wires are strung below the corresponding wooden plate that, when the playing surface is struck, interact with the same and produce a sound effect, wherein each wire has at least one associated damping element.

Abstract: In a cajon incorporating a snare carpet that rests against the reverse of a front plate, provision is made that the snare carpet is supported pivotable and actuatable by means of a pedal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a musical rhythm instrument comprising sounding bodies, especially in the form of jingles or the like, and a holding device for said sounding bodies, wherein said holding device is designed to be fastened to the user's foot.
