Embodiment Construction

[0026] Refer to attached image 3, the flute of the present invention includes a pipe 1 and a key mechanism 3 . An inner space 1 a is defined in a tube 1 having a mouthpiece (not shown) and a hole 2 . At one end of the tube 1, the mouthpiece opens to the external environment, and the holes 2 are arranged to the end. In the following description, the term "upstream" refers to the key position from the mouthpiece, rather than the position defined by the term "downstream". That is, the holes 2 are arranged along the tube 1 from the upstream side to the downstream side. The inner space 1 a is open to the external environment at the other end and communicates with the external environment through the hole 2 . The hole at the other end of the tube 1 is denoted below as "end hole" to distinguish it from the hole 2 .

[0027] There is a key mechanism 3 on the tube 1, and the player can choose to open and close the hole 2 by manipulating the key mechanism. The holes 2 are assigned ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a woodwind instrument. A woodwind instrument has a key mechanism (3) provided on a tube (1), and a player selectively closes and opens holes (2) formed in the tube (1) through a fingering; the key mechanism includes keys (20) corresponding to the holes (2), and each of the key (20) has an automatic regulator (21) for uniformly pressing a pad washer (23) to a pad (10) received in a pad cup (11) so that, even if the pad cup (11) is inaccurately fixed to a linkage (3b) of the key mechanism (3), the hole (2) is surely closed with the pad (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to woodwind instruments, and in particular to woodwind instruments of the type equipped with a key mechanism for closing holes formed in the pipe.

Although the phrase "woodwind" is a compound word formed from the words "wood" and "instrument," the phrase "woodwind" does not simply refer to the material of the instrument. Bassoons and clarinets are usually made of wood. But the saxophone is made of metal. Several family members such as the flute are played directly by the player. But for other family members, players use reeds when playing the oboe. Although both belong to the woodwind family, players use different methods to cause the column of air to vibrate. However, all members of the woodwind family are tubes with holes that the player can selectively open an...
