KEYBOARD MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
A keyboard musical instrument includes a musical instrument case including an upper case, and a lower case having a concave part provided on a lower surface and opened on an outer peripheral surface-side, and a strap pin fixing portion is arranged in the concave part.
Handheld Polyphonic Musical Wind Instrument
A handheld polyphonic free reed and electronic musical wind instrument that has ergonomic advantages over similar instruments. Multiple parallel rows of keys each an octave apart allow for sufficient range for most melodies and chord progressions while the hands remain stationary on the instrument and the fingers of both hands work in unison. The keyboard is separated into groups of keys intended for the left and right hands.
Telescoping board for instrument pedals
A telescopically adjustable board for mounting musical instrument pedals includes a first inner rail-outer rail pair. The outer rail has a tubular shape defining a hollow track and the inner rail is slidably received within the hollow track with the outer rail circumscribing the inner rail. Each of the inner rail and outer rail is configured to fixably attach to a musical effects pedal. The board may include a second inner rail-outer rail pair substantially parallel to and spaced from the first inner rail-outer rail pair. The inner rails are slidable relative to the outer rails between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position to adjust the longitudinal length of the board.

Instrument case with stand and/or maintenance station
An instrument case with one or more rack instrument stands with or without an instrument maintenance station combined into a hard-shell instrument transport case. The one or more rack instrument stands are attached to the inner top lid of the instrument case and has a comb shaped structure which can be locked into place when in use. The one or more rack instrument stands can store one or more different types of instruments at the same time when the case is open.
Percussion device and system for stringed instrument
The invention is directed to a percussion system to be attached to a stringed instrument in a way that allows a player to drum the percussion system while plucking the strings of the stringed instrument using a single hand. The percussion system includes a percussion device including: a body and at least one static percussion surface located over the body, the percussion surface having a batter side. The percussion system further includes a connecting element for connecting the percussion device to a stringed instrument such that when the percussion system is connected to the stringed instrument the percussion surface is substantially perpendicular to the stringed instrument's front side and is directed towards strings of the stringed instrument.
Musical Instruments Including Keyboard Guitars
A musical instrument, for example, a keyboard guitar, includes a body, an elongated neck coupled to the body, neck keys disposed on the elongated neck, and an output for transmitting an electrical signal generated by the musical instrument. Activation of each neck key generates an electrical signal at the output representing a pitch associated with a musical note. The musical instrument may also include body keys disposed on the body, and a strum bar that generates an electrical signal at the output representing a pitch associated with a musical note based on which of the body keys are activated during activation of the strum bar. Further, the musical instrument may include a continuous graphic image spanning the front face of the body and the body keys, forming a continuous pattern that is unbroken across a transition between key surfaces of the body keys and the front face of the body.
Set consisting of a quick-assembly support and a support plate
The invention relates to a set consisting of a support plate and at least one quick-assembly support, wherein lateral feet or frame elements below the support plate form a free space, which can be used, among other things, for cabling purposes or for accommodating a power supply unit, wherein the quick-assembly support is designed and intended for mounting an in particular electronic component on the support plate, wherein the support plate comprises a plurality of elongated holes arranged in parallel in a predetermined pattern, wherein pairs of elongated holes with a first elongated hole and a second elongated hole are arranged in a predetermined grid spacing (A) perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the two elongated holes, wherein the elongated holes comprise straight longitudinal edges extending parallel to one another, and wherein the quick-assembly support comprises a first fastening element and a second fastening element, which are arranged on the quick-assembly support at a distance matched to the grid spacing (A), wherein the first fastening element is designed to interlock with the first elongated hole and the second fastening element is designed to interlock with the second elongated hole.
SET CONSISTING OF A QUICK-ASSEMBLY SUPPORT AND A SUPPORT PLATE
