ABSTRACT:
A lyre mounting bracket (14) is provided for acoustically coupling a musical instrument tuner (12) to a lyre (16) for a musical instrument (10). The tuner (12) includes an electronics section (26) having a vibratory sensor. A hinged elbow member (44) secures the mounting bracket (14) to the tuner (12). The mounting bracket (14) has a main body (42) which includes two oppositely facing, planar surfaces (50, 52) for securing directly between a clamp (20) of the lyre (16). Support braces (58, 60) extend outward from opposite sides of the main body (42), each having arcuately shaped sides (66-76) which extend orthogonal to and adjacent to the peripheral edges of respective ones of the planer mounting surfaces (50, 52). The sides (66-76) have profiles which fit substantially flush with portions of a profile (94) defined by the peripheral edges of a first half (90) of the lyre clamp (20). The first half (90) of the lyre clamp (20) includes two lobes (96, 98) which fit substantially flush against mounting ears (54, 56) defined by the main body (42) of the mounting bracket (14). The support braces (58, 60) further include protuberances (78, 80) which extend into crooks (97, 99) of the profile (94) of the first half (90) of the lyre clamp (20). The arcuately shaped sides (66-76) and the protuberances (78, 80) of the support braces (58, 60), and the planar mounting surfaces (50, 52) together define two oppositely facing sockets (62, 64) for receiving the two parts (90, 92) of the lyre clamp (20) in a closely fitting relation, such that the lyre mounting bracket (14) is acoustically coupled to the lyre (16) for transmitting mechanical vibration therebetween.
