Abstract: It is proposed that a divot tool comprising a handle part and a fork part be constructed as a divot tuning fork whereby the fork part is in the form of a tuning fork which vibrates at a defined frequency, and in that the construction of the handle part and the arrangement of the fork part on a handle part be such that the handle part does not substantially affect the frequency of vibration of the fork part.

Abstract: In order to provide an easily usable string holder for a musical instrument with a holding body, on which a holding device for strings of the musical instrument is disposed and which is provided with an attachment element forming an attachment bow for fixing the holding body to the musical instrument, it is proposed that an adjusting device for adjustment of the distance of an attachment bow apex of the attachment element from the holding body be disposed on the holding body, and that the adjusting device be constructed to be operable from outside the holding body.

Abstract: In a metronome, a toothed wheel and a bell drum each comprise toothings facing each other, by means of which the toothed wheel and the bell drum are in positive engagement with each other in defined angular positions. The toothed wheel and the bell drum are axially displaceable relative to each other on the toothed wheel shaft in order to release their positive engagement and to alter their angular position. When the metronome is in operation, the toothed wheel and the bell drum are kept in mutual positive engagement by releasable holding means.

Abstract: A metronome is disclosed including a casing accommodating a driving device for a pendulum, the casing having an elongate trough-like body covered by a cover plate. The driving device is mounted on the inside of the cover plate. An imprinted scale plate associated with the pendulum is mounted on the outside of the cover plate. The pendulum is fixed on a shaft mounted in a bridge on the cover plate and driven by the driving device. Two screws fix both the bridge and a frame of the driving device to the cover plate. Holders integrally formed on the inside of the cover plate, at a location spaced above the fixing screws, engage with and retain the frame of the driving device. The scale plate can thus present a wide uninterrupted surface on which tempi and beat rates can be imprinted and related to each other.
