Description
G10D covers mechanical and structural designs for acoustic and traditional musical instruments, including stringed instruments (guitars, violins, pianos), wind instruments (flutes, saxophones, trumpets), reed instruments (accordions, concertinas), and percussion instruments (drums, bells, xylophones). This classification encompasses construction methods, sound-producing mechanisms, tuning devices, playing mechanisms, and material innovations specific to these instrument types. Inventions addressing acoustic properties, resonance chambers, vibration control, and traditional instrument modifications are included, while electronic sound generation and amplification systems are typically classified elsewhere under G10H.
