Abstract:

A method of positioning a set of frets on a musical instrument. This method comprises dividing a fretboard of the musical instrument into a plurality of units, and then dividing these plurality of units into a series of groups. Next, these groups can be divided into sub-groups to form intervals. Next musical pitches or frets can be positioned for the musical instrument wherein these pitches are further sub-groups of the intervals of these units. In one embodiment, these units can be in the form of 360 equally divided units. In another embodiment, these units can be in the form of 648 units of 1 mm in length. A set of predetermined spacing relationships can then be used to create the spacing distances and the positions of the frets on a fretboard.

Abstract:

A fingerboard construction for a stringed instrument such as a guitar employs a fret placement resulting in a sound characterized by perfect pitch octaves, fifths and fourths. According to the first fret placement, which begins by placing the twelfth fret, high E, exactly at half the distance between the nut and bridge of the fingerboard, perfect fourths can be found at exactly half the distance between their respective fifths.

Abstract:

Game board apparatus and method for at least two players for simulating the play of soccer is disclosed. Game apparatus comprises two sets of playing pieces (22) representing two teams of soccer men, there being a plurality of forwards, a lesser plurality of defenders and a goalie on each team, the forwards on each team being distinguishable from each other as by indicia; a game board (28) having goal areas (36) at opposite ends of the board (28), each goal area (36) having indicia therein corresponding to the indicia on the forwards, and two sets of players' movement paths (46), one path for each forward on each team, each path including a first group of consecutive spaces (48,52) defining an advancing zone and a second group of consecutive spaces (50,52) defining an attacking zone, the defenders being positionable on the spaces in the paths occupied by the opposing team's forwards for blocking the movement of the forwards; a piece (24) representing a soccer ball, the soccer ball being movable with the forwards towards the goal areas (36); and chance means (26) manipulatable by the players for determining movement of the ball (24) among the forwards and into the goal areas (36), and for determining possession of the ball (24) between the two teams.

International Classification:

G10D 902

US Classification:

84383R

Abstract:

The invention relates to a mouthpiece for a clarinet and saxophone to be used with a reed. The mouthpiece has a tip and a face having two spaced sides extending towards each other from the tip. The face has an opening adjacent to the tip between the sides and a longitudinal bore communicating with the opening. The face is arcuately curved downwardly toward the tip thereby forming a face gap distance between the face and the reed. A wing member extends from each of the sides away from the opening so that the mouthpiece flares outwardly at the face to direct air into the opening. The wing members extend substantially to the tip of the mouthpiece. In addition, a spiral profile may be formed on a cylindrical surface defining the longitudinal bore. The wing members fill triangular spaced gaps between the lips to direct air into the mouthpiece opening. The mouthpiece improves the tonal qualities of the instrument and requires less effort than with conventional mouthpieces.
