Electronic wind instrument and key operation detection method

The present invention provides an electronic wind instrument and a key operation detection method, which can improve the operability of the keys. The operation surfaces (31a) and (31b) of the pitch control keys (30a) and (30b) are constructed as inclined surfaces that are inclined downward toward the pitch control keys (30a) and (30b). That is, the operation surfaces (31a) and (31b) have the function of limiting the player's fingers from being separated from between the pitch control keys (30a) and (30b). Thus, when an operation such as moving the fingers back and forth between a pair of pitch control keys (30a) and (30b) is performed, the fingers can be prevented from crossing over the pitch control keys (30a) and (30b). Therefore, the pitch control keys (30a) and (30b) can be easily pressed, thereby improving the operability of the pitch control keys (30a) and (30b).

The subject matter of the present invention is a reed holding and reed forming apparatus for a double reed musical instrument, made of a hard substrate shape holding material (e.g., metal). The internal forming design of the reed retaining and reed forming apparatus enables the generation and development of good sound production that can be repeated once again. The external design helps ensure good joining of the planed reed plates, thereby enabling good vibration of the reed plates and enhancing durability of the reed plates. Therefore, the reed holding and reed forming apparatus adjusts the vibration sound generated by the reed plate and transmits the vibration sound to the musical instrument in a manner that always can be accurately reproduced and is good. Thus, we manufacture the apparatus from a metal or shape-retaining material, in which case the reed is well attached to the metal or shape-retaining material, the internal shape always remaining unchanged. The invention can be used in all double reed musical instruments, such as Bason, clarinet, British Round Number and the like, and the invention is constructed together with or separately constructed with related tubes.
