Abstract
The invention proposes a mounting device for attaching a microphone or a microphone inset to a musical instrument, comprising two clamping sections between which a section of a musical instrument can be gripped by spring force, a connecting section, which both clamping sections are connected to resiliently by one of their ends, a holding mechanism to attach a microphone or a microphone inset to the mounting device, and one actuator section on each of the clamping sections whereby, in the unutilized position of mounting device, the actuator section on one of the two clamping sections at least partially overlaps the other clamping section, in the direction of the spring force generated by this clamping section when gripping a section of a musical instrument. One of the clamping sections is executed at least in two parts, and the component sections originate, separated laterally from each other, from the connecting section and the other clamping section is located at least partially between the component sections.
