A wind instrument is constituted of a mouthpiece and a pipe structure including tapered/straight pipes. The pipe structure is constituted of a blow member and a branch pipe. The branch pipe is branched into a main pipe and an auxiliary pipe, which are straight pipes having openings and connected together in a branch shape. The blow member is connected to a branch point of the branch pipe. The branch pipe simulates resonance characteristic of a tapered pipe having a predetermined length, a predetermined distance between the upper base and the vertex, and a predetermined sectional area of the upper base commensurate with the sectional area of the main pipe.

Flow velocity sensor and a length sensor are provided on or near an edge of the lip plate which the air jet from the embouchure hole impinges against. Jet flow velocity Ue at the edge and a jet-blowout-outlet-to-edge distance d are detected by the sensors. Jet transfer time τ e is calculated by an equation of τ e = d/Ue, and a jet traveling angle θ e' is calculated by an equation of θ e' = 2πfso1 × τe (where fso1 represents a frequency of a tone to be generated). When θ e' has decreased to π/2 during tone generation in a primary mode, the mode changes to a secondary mode to raise the pitch of the currently generated tone by one octave. When θ e' has increased to 3π/4 during tone generation in the secondary mode, the mode changes to the primary mode to lower the pitch of the currently generated tone by one octave.

A mute detachably attached to a brass instrument includes a fixed part and a plurality of branch pipes, each including a main pipe and an auxiliary pipe. The branch pipes are unified together and inserted into a bell pipe of a brass instrument. The fixed part is attached to the tapered portion of a bell pipe and interposed between the interior of the bell pipe and the exterior of the main pipe. The branch pipe is designed such that the auxiliary pipe is connected to the main pipe at an interconnect part, at which an air flow propagating through the main pipe is partly branched into the auxiliary pipe.

An apparatus is to assist an unskilled player in playing a musical instrument (2, 9, 10) by detecting (11, 12, 13, 15, 301, 302, 51, 605, 815) the quantity of the player's manipulation against the instrument (2, 9, 10), modifying (14, 16, 214, 216, 305, 503, 505, 514, 816, 902) the detected manipulation quantity with reference to a recommended manipulation (Sb) to a degree according to a given assistance coefficient (r, r2), and actuating (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 517, 603, 604) the instrument (2, 9, 10) with the modified manipulation quantity. For a brass instrument (2), the apparatus comprises an embouchure sensor (11) and a breath pressure sensor (12) to detect the embouchure and the breath pressure of the player as he/she plays the brass instrument (2). The detected embouchure and breath pressure are then modified with reference to a recommended embouchure and breath pressure weighted by a given assistance coefficient. The apparatus actuates the brass instrument based on the modified embouchure and breath pressure.

When adjoining, i.e. preceding and succeeding, waveform-forming module data are to be interlinked, a mutual approaching rate is designated, and the preceding and succeeding module data are modified in accordance with the designated mutual approaching rate. The modification based on the mutual approaching rate allows the preceding and succeeding module data to approach each other and thus provides for smooth link or connection between the two module data. Further, by designating a link starting point in the preceding module data and/or a link ending point in the succeeding module data, the preceding and succeeding module data are interlinked to an appropriate degree depending on a difference or degree of similarity between the two module data. If the preceding or succeeding module data include data of a plurality of vectors, a time relationship between the preceding and succeeding module data is evaluated, and the data of one or more of the vectors is thinned out, as necessary, in accordance with the evaluated time relationship so that the two module data can be interlinked appropriately.

A sound source apparatus has software module used to compute samples of a waveform in response to a sampling frequency for generating a musical tone according to performance information (MIDI). The apparatus comprises a processor device (1) that periodically executes the software module to successively compute samples of the waveform corresponding to a variable sampling frequency so as to generate the musical tone. A detector device detects a load of computation imposed on the processor device (1) during the course of generating the musical tone. A controller device is operative according to the detected load and changes the variable sampling frequency to adjust a rate of computation of the samples.
