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.

The presence of saxophonists furthering their musical horizons by playing keyboard instruments inspires the invention of a novel device to connect a light-weight keyboard or MIDI grid controller to a saxophone to facilitate the convenient and rapid switching between playing either instrument. Battery power and Bluetooth technology combine with innovations in plastics technology to facilitate the creation of strong, lightweight structures to facilitate such a device. With the addition of looping software on a laptop computer, a saxophonist so equipped can create music to accompany themselves, obviating the need for other musicians to function as a musical ensemble. This innovation may be the harbinger for other musicians on other single note instruments—trumpet, trombone, violin, etc. to join this trend using either instrument-attached, strap-on or wearable keyboards. This could blend the boundaries between acoustic and electronic instruments, and increase the enjoyment and musical enrichment of musicians and audiences alike.
