Electronic wind instrument includes: a breath flow detector (71) that detects a flow of breath blown by a user; a tone generator (121) that forms a tone signal; a control section (100, 102) that controls the tone generator on the basis of an output signal of the breath flow detector; and a zero point compensation section (100, 101) that, when a predetermined condition has been satisfied, compensates a zero point of the output signal of the breath flow detector on the basis of the output signal generated by the breath flow detector at the time point the predetermined condition has been satisfied. The predetermined condition is satisfied when it is detected that a zero point compensation switch operable by the user has been turned on, that no performance is being executed by the user, that a value indicated by the output signal of the breath flow detector has decreased below a predetermined threshold value, or that the wind instrument has been turned on.
