  • Torsion arm, connecting rod and coil configuration improvements for acoustic guitars and other stringed instruments
    Patent number: 10679590
    Abstract: A sound resonator device for internal connection to a guitar or other musical instrument that has strings tensioned over any type of bridge piece. The resonator device includes a torsion arm affixed to a sound board of the instrument from which is connected one or more involute coil sets, and a connecting rod. A first version employs coils having a circular section. A second variety uses at least one, thicker ribbon shaped coil configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Organic texture enhancement system with dampers for acoustic guitars and other stringed instruments
    Patent number: 9626941
    Abstract: A sound resonator device for internal connection to a guitar or other musical instrument that has strings tensioned over a bridge piece. One embodiment of resonator includes a plurality of wound coils made of a harmonically predetermined (consistent or varying) thickness or gauge of metal wire secured to the instrument interior. A series of dampering devices are added for muting the effect of such sound resonation when desired. The dampering devices are activated using either a slider button (for felt dampers) or a rotating knob (for fiber threads).

  • Organic sound texture enhancement and bridge strengthening system for acoustic guitars and other stringed instruments
    Patent number: 9570051
    Abstract: A sound resonator device for internal connection to a guitar or other musical instrument that has strings tensioned over any type of bridge piece. The resonator device includes a torsion arm affixed to a sound board of the instrument from which is connected a plurality of involute coil sets, each made from a harmonically predetermined thickness (or gauge) of metal wire secured at its opposite end to the instrument interior.
