Filed:

Jan 16, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/623714

Inventors:

Alfred Paul Neumayer - Vashon WA, US

Assignee:

MACHTTONE CORP. - Vashon WA

International Classification:

G10D 13/02

US Classification:

84411 R

Abstract:

An acoustic drum has various implementations for tuning, bracing, attachment, and snare strainer. These implementations are combined in differing configurations of the drum system. Certain aspects of some of the implementations are related to aspects of other of the implementations. For instance, a tuning implementation may use a particular attachment implementation, which in turn may use a certain bracing implementation. Because certain bracing implementations are used, a strainer implementation could be also used if the drum was a snare version. The implementations variously combine to affect performance and/or other esthetic qualities of the acoustic drum.
