Patent

CA 2373218

A stringed instrument intended to be alternately played in a fretted mode or an unfretted mode by raising a separate fingerboard to the tops of the frets for the unfretted mode and lowering it for the fretted mode. A pair of meshed rack-and-pinion assemblies are driven back and forth by a lever the motion of which racks are translated to rails that cam the separate fingerboard up and down through pins protruding inwardly from the rails into slide slots in flanges of the fingerboard.

Instrument de musique à cordes conçu pour être joué par alternance en mode lié ou en mode non lié en soulevant un clavier distinct au-dessus des touches pour le mode non lié et en l'abaissant pour le mode lié. Une paire d'ensembles maillés de pignons et crémaillères sont déplacés en un mouvement de va-et-vient par un levier. Le mouvement est transféré aux rails qui font monter et descendre le clavier distinct par l'entremise des broches faisant saillie vers l'intérieur à partir des rails dans les encoches coulissantes dans les volets du clavier.
