View page
US Patent:
8283540, Oct 9, 2012
Filed:
Dec 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/972474
Inventors:
Benita H. Slater - Germantown MD, US
International Classification:
G10D 7/00
US Classification:
84380R, 84399
Abstract:
A musical instrument tuning device includes a tuning sleeve and a tuning collar threadingly engaged to the tuning sleeve. The apparatus is mountable onto a first portion of a musical instrument which also has a second portion, the second portion being slidingly adjustable relative to the first portion to change the length of an air passage to tune that musical instrument. In one embodiment, the musical instrument tuning device is mounted on a neck portion of a saxophone to which a mouthpiece is typically engaged. Rotation of the tuning collar moves a saxophone mouthpiece relative to the neck portion and thereby enables a musician to quickly and precisely tune the saxophone.
