AI Technical Summary
The frequency variation of the finger tremolo on existing electric wind instruments cannot meet the requirements of the performers for the performance effect, and poor conductivity when the fingers press can easily cause the sound to be interrupted and stuck.
A metal slotted clip is installed on the metal button of the electric wind instrument, and a conductive finger ring is provided. The conductive finger ring can be worn on the finger to strike the top of the slot. The metal slotted clip is made of stainless steel, aluminum or copper, and the conductive finger ring is made of metal or rubber to ensure good conductivity.
It increases the frequency of finger tremolo, ensures the continuity of the performance, prevents interruptions and stutters in pitch, meets the requirements of performance effect, and the material is easy to process and shape.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an electric wind instrument, specifically an accessory for an electric wind instrument. Background Technology
[0002] "Trembling" is a technique used on plucked string instruments and a specific term in plucked string instrument playing. The timbre of plucked wind instruments differs from that of non-plucked wind instruments in their playing method. With non-plucked instruments, the pitch changes regardless of whether you staccato or not, simply by changing fingers on different keys. However, with plucked instruments, the pitch remains constant after the initial note is played, without staccato. In other words, after staccato, striking any key consecutively produces the same note. For example, the note 1—staccato, followed by rapid, continuous striking of a key with any finger produces a 32nd note (4 beats). Due to physiological limitations, the frequency of finger striking keys cannot meet the speed requirements of tremolo; each finger lift and drop produces a single note, meaning the note is produced at the lower end of the key and not at the upper end.
[0003] Among the various existing electronic wind instruments, the effect of tremolo (also known as whirling) is not ideal. Some electronic wind instruments have a built-in tremolo function, but it is a pre-set program that cannot be controlled by the player's will. The frequency variation of the tremolo cannot meet the player's requirements for the performance effect.
[0004] Furthermore, when the performer presses the metal keys on the electronic wind instrument with their fingers, the sound may sometimes be interrupted or stuttered due to poor conductivity, which also affects the performance to some extent. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an electric wind instrument whose frequency variation can meet the performer's requirements for performance effect.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an electric wind instrument, which has a main body and multiple metal buttons mounted on it. Each metal button has a metal key post at its bottom. At least one of the metal buttons is equipped with a metal groove-shaped clip, which includes a bottom locking part and a top spring-loaded part. The front end of the bottom locking part has a locking groove that can just lock the metal key post at the bottom of the metal button. The metal groove-shaped clip locks the metal key post through the locking groove and is then mounted on the metal key post.
[0007] Furthermore, the metal slotted clip is made of stainless steel, aluminum, or copper.
[0008] As an improvement to this utility model, it also includes a conductive finger ring that can be worn on a finger to flick the top of the slot of the metal slot-shaped card.
[0009] Furthermore, the conductive ring is a metal conductive ring or a conductive rubber ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the metal conductive ring is made of stainless steel, aluminum, or copper.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the performer plays, after pressing the key, they can also flick the top of the groove of the metal slotted clip upwards. Each finger lift and drop produces two notes, thus doubling the frequency and meeting the frequency requirements for tremolo, thereby satisfying the performer's requirements for performance effect; 2. With the inclusion of a conductive finger ring, the conductivity is improved when the performer wears the conductive finger ring, pressing the metal key and flicking the top of the groove of the metal slotted clip, effectively preventing pitch interruptions and stuttering, and ensuring the continuity of the performance; 3. The conductive finger ring and the metal slotted clip are made of stainless steel, aluminum, or copper, which not only provides good conductivity but also facilitates processing and shaping.

[0022] See Figure 1 - Figure 9 This utility model discloses an electric wind instrument, comprising a main body 1, on which multiple metal buttons 2 are mounted, each metal button having a metal key post 3 at its bottom. The instrument is characterized in that at least one of the metal buttons 2 is fitted with a metal groove-shaped retainer 4, which includes a bottom retaining portion 41 and a top striking portion 42. The front end of the bottom retaining portion has a retaining groove 411 that precisely engages the metal key post 3 at the bottom of the metal button. The metal groove-shaped retainer engages the metal key post 3 via the retaining groove. The metal groove-shaped retainer 4 is made of stainless steel, aluminum, or copper. It also includes a conductive finger ring 5, which can be worn on a finger to strike the top striking portion 42 of the metal groove-shaped retainer. The conductive finger ring 5 is a metal conductive finger ring or a conductive rubber finger ring. The metal conductive finger ring is made of stainless steel, aluminum, or copper.
