Zusammenfassung: | This article describes the process of designing a device to vertically elevate a grand piano together with the pianist. A device for this purpose has already been developed and applied in performances by the Swiss pianist Alain Roche abroad. The idea, with this project, is to do the same in Brazil, particularly in Brasilia, with the possibility, if there is interest, of expanding to other states. As the pianos, in order to be played, are positioned horizontally, it was necessary to adapt the action mechanism so that the piano could be played vertically. The project was developed within the scope of the discipline Project of Mechanical Systems of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Brasília – UnB and had the participation of thirteen students under the coordination of the professor of the discipline. Two types of devices have been developed, one that suits a particular grand piano that is being prepared for performances and another device that fits any grand piano, regardless of dimensions. The designed devices allow the pianist to be elevated vertically along with the piano comfortably and safely. Performances can be made outdoors or indoors that have the support of a lifting system to suspend the piano and the pianist. The project required an interdisciplinary approach, combining knowledge of mechanical engineering, ergonomics, music, safety and design, to ensure the technical and artistic feasibility of the device.
Este artigo descreve como se deu o processo de concepção de um dispositivo para elevar verticalmente um piano de cauda juntamente com o pianista. Um dispositivo com esta finalidade já foi desenvolvido é aplicado em apresentações do pianista suiço Alain Roche no exterior. A ideia, com este projeto, é de se fazer o mesmo no Brasil, particularmente em Brasília, com possibilidade, caso haja interesse, de expandir para outros estados. Como os pianos, para serem tocados, são posicionados na horizontal, foi necessário adaptar o mecanismo de ação para que o piano pudesse ser tocado na vertical. O projeto foi desenvolvido no âmbito da disciplina Projeto de Sistemas Mecânicos do Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica de Universidade de Brasília – UnB e contou com a participação de treze alunos sob a coordenação do professor da referida disciplina. Foram desenvolvidos dois tipos de dispositivos, um que se adequa a um determinado piano de cauda que está sendo preparado para as apresentações e outro dispositivo que se adequa a qualqu |
