    Technical sector
    The invention falls within the technical sector of accessories that fit the guitar or any type of musical instruments for a better placement of the instrument in relation to the body of the instrumentalist and / or amplify and improve the quality of the natural sound of the instruments when these Instruments have a soundboard. The present invention consists of a series of elements added and / or improved to a previous patent in published property W02016001459 international application PCT / ES2015 / 000091 "Amplifier Support for Guitar and String Instruments". State of the art
    International patent W02016001459 application PCT / ES2015 / 000091 on which the present invention is based refers to an accessory that is placed on the guitar or other musical instruments and that improves the placement of the musician's right arm, left arm in case of be left-handed, avoiding injuries such as tendinitis by supporting the forearm on the guitar or musical instrument. This accessory also increases and improves the loudness of the instrument to which it is placed.
    A better position of the guitarist's body was necessary, a position in which the back was kept completely straight to avoid spinal injuries. For this, a new placement of the guitar has been created using this invention. This new placement is based on supporting the guitar on 3 points: the lower part of the instrument on the leg, the upper part on the chest of the instrumentalist and the arm on the accessory of this invention. This new position in addition to keeping the back straight makes it unnecessary to use other accessories such as footrests and others that serve to lift the guitar.
    A more ergonomic position of the arm and a more delayed position of the shoulder were needed and that is why the front cover of the invention has been placed obliquely on the sound cover of the guitar or musical instrument.
    An interior structure has been added to this invention that enhances the reverberation and sound quality and quantity properties of the previous patent "Amplifier Support for Guitar and String Instruments".
    A new fastening system of the invention has been added using suction cups that allows a simpler and more robust placement on the guitar or musical instrument.
    A quality system was also necessary to capture the sound of the musical instrument for recording, amplification or any other sound treatment and minimize the ambient noise that could be generated around. Currently, to place sound or micro pickup and preamp systems and effects to a guitar or musical instrument cuts and holes are made in the instrument and these imply irreparable and irreversible damage to the instrument in case you want to remove these accessories in a Given moment. In the case of instruments of special value, as historical instruments these invasive systems are totally inadvisable. However, by being included in this invention, these pickup and / or pre-amplification systems provide the guitar or musical instrument with this utility without damaging them. Therefore, this invention has been provided with the possibility of including an external microphone and an internal microphone that picks up the sound of the musical instrument and that produced within this invention. This system can be complemented with another playback system with included loudspeaker, recording and modification of the captured sound that can go within the invention.
    Something was necessary to avoid the annoying contact between the invention and the musician's skin when wearing clothes that leave the arm exposed. This contact immobilizes the arm movement and creates difficulty in the musician when playing. To avoid this, the invention has been provided with a cover that covers it in the parts in contact with the arm.
    Detailed description of the invention.
    The present invention relates to an object that is placed on the guitar or musical instrument on the upper curved part of the body of the instrument and serves as a rest to the right, left arm if left handed, and / or as an amplifier and improvement system of the quality of the sound produced by the musical instrument by acting as an attached sound box and producing a sound reverberation.
    This object has a box shape, is hollow and is open at least on one of its sides, through which the body of the guitar or musical instrument is inserted into the object and at least the front cover can be placed obliquely to the Sound cover of the Guitar or musical instrument. This box consists of projections inside that modulate the movement of sound within the invention to increase the reverberation that occurs and improve the quantity and sound quality that this invention produces. An adjustable mobile interior mechanism that fixes the invention with suction cups causes the musical instrument to be inserted more or less into this box for approaching or separating the instrument and thus engaging at different arm lengths.
    This invention may consist of an external and / or internal sound or microphone pickup system that collects both the sound of the musical instrument and / or that produced within the accessory. The function of this sound collection system, which also allows minimizing to the maximum the ambient noise that could be generated around the interpreter, is the recording, amplification or any other sound treatment that can be performed in an electronic module included in the invention or in external systems. This microphone system can be complemented with another sound modification system within the accessory of the invention that regulates parameters such as equalization and / or provides various sound effects and is equipped with other utilities such as tuner, metronome, recording system, speaker reproduction Included within the invention, drum machine or wireless sound transmission. This system replaces the traditional systems that involved making holes in the guitar or musical instruments irreversibly damaging the instrument to place microns, preamps and electronic modules with diverse utilities.
    For musical instruments without soundboard in which the production of sound is carried out by electronic systems and is amplified and emitted in external equipment to the musical instrument and / or those that only need the body support function, this invention can be performed regardless of resonator box concept and will be formed only as a framework that only includes the support points necessary to rest the arm and attach to the instrument.
    A cover has been added that protects the invention and prevents annoying contact with the skin of the arm when wearing clothing that exposes the arm.
