Abstract:
A cable and pulley or guide apparatus for accurately tuning and securing a tunable vibrating membrane on a cylindrical shell by means of a plurality of either fixed-angle pulley or guide assemblies not parallel to the top-bottom axis of the shell, or adjustable-angle pulley or guide assemblies not parallel to the top-bottom axis of the shell, built into or attached to purpose built hoops, attached to hoops with protruding flanges through holes or slots, or attached to a claw or hook apparatus which secures over the edge of annular hoops, through which a cable is laced and fed into the tensioning mechanism(s) to increase or decrease the tension on the cable, thus tensioning the vibrating membrane or heads against the shell, the angles of the pulley or guide assemblies adjustable to conform to the natural angle of the cable traversing the circumference of the shell.

Claim (Index 1):
A tensioning system for tuning and securing tunable membrane(s) to a cylindrical shell, comprising:\n a plurality of angled pulley, guide or grommet assembles attached or built into a hoop or hoops, which are fixed or conform to optimally match the natural angle at which the cable traverses the circumference of the cylindrical shell. A cable that runs between said angled pulley, guide or grommet assemblies; A tensioning mechanism for tightening said cable; such that when said tensioning mechanism is tightened: said tunable membrane(s) are secured and stretched over the end or ends of the cylindrical shell; the membrane(s) are tuned, and; the pulley-cable apparatus is pulled into the optimal cable-pulley geometry.
