ABSTRACT:
An improved resonator tuning plug for the resonators of keyboard percussion instruments. An inexpensive plug suitable for the entire range of the keyboard instrument, offering quick tuning changes and secure locking of position. A thickness of material shaped to a slip fit within the resonator is slotted on one surface in such a manner that pressure applied to a tapered center hole expands the circumference and produces a pneumatic seal. The tuning plug is invertible so that tonal characteristics of the air column are further adjustable.
