  • Patent number: 10502357
    Abstract: A kit for attaching one or more interchangeable accessories, for example, sound makers, fashion accessories, utility accessories, instrument accessories, etc., to an instrument, for example, a drum stick, a drum head, a post of a bass drum pedal or a hihat, a cajón, a microphone, a guitar, a stand, etc., to enhance sound, functionality, and visual elements of the instrument is provided. The kit includes one or more interchangeable accessories and at least one attachment system. The attachment system includes an attachment member and a connector element. The attachment member, for example, a clamp assembly with an accessory housing and a release assembly, or a generally cylindrical attachment member, or a cap member is removably attachable to a predetermined location of the instrument. The connector element is a female connector or a male connector for engageably connecting the attachment member to an opposing connector of one of the interchangeable accessories.

  • Patent number: 8203063
    Abstract: A portable tuning apparatus comprising keys and a rotatable tuning plate is provided. Each key comprises two opposing connector arms separated by a cranked section and extending perpendicularly from opposing ends of the cranked section. A first opposing connector arm of each key is configured to engageably rotate a lug of multiple lugs that support a drumhead of a percussion instrument. A second opposing connector arm of each key slidably engages with one of the openings arranged at predetermined locations on the rotatable tuning plate. Rotating the rotatable tuning plate causes the second opposing connector arm along with the cranked section of each key to orbitally revolve about the first opposing connector arm of each key. This orbital revolution causes an axial rotation of the first opposing connector arm of each key engaged on the lug and imparts a uniform tension to the lugs for tensioning and tuning the drumhead.
