Le chevalet is at the other end of the guitar : this is the place where the strings are attached : i.e at the opposite side of the Clefs d\'accord |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1chasse-goupille/pointe de chevalet Explanation: The term "bridge pin", refers to the pins in the bridge which hold in the strings of a folk, accoustic or electric guitar (steel strings). The nylon strings on classical or Spanish guitars are treaded through and wound round holes in the "sillet de chevalet", the term for which I used to know in English and cannot for the life of me recall. I'll check that out in a second. What interests you though is that the "brigde pin puller" which is a small flat tool (a flat fork-shaped thing) used to pull the pins out to release the string being removed. Here's a photo of one : http://www.internationalluthiers.com/guitarparts.php Guitar Bridge Pin Puller A convenient tool, which can be carried on your key chain or in your case, that makes bridge pin removing easy fast and won't harm your bridge. For harpsichords, "bridge pins" are called "pointes de chevalet", in guiatrsn they would appear to be known as "goupille", cf : http://www.guitar-online.com/Guitare1/h29.htm (Voir figure II) My suggested term is a home grown creation, a composite. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-01 11:26:33 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With Steven\'s comment in mind, \"tire-goupille de chevalet\" makes more sense. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-01 11:27:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I mean, Cheungmo\'s suggestion for \"tire-goupille\" |
