    摘要: The present invention discloses a silent digital practice horn, useable with or without a mouthpiece, characterized by a processor and communicating means enabling wireless connection with DAW application via MIDI-USB or Bluetooth modules, and thereby connection with computers or smartphones, speakers or headphones thereof. The invention also discloses a digital practice shortened either Saxophone-like or Clarinet-like horn, wherein one or more of the following is held true: octave key is configured to change range; High E key (Eb-like horn) is configured to shift tonal range up; C key is configured to shift to normal tonal range; Bb key (Bb-like horn) is configured to shift tonal range down; at least one of the following, F key, E/F♯ key and D key is configured to facilitate or change MIDI Channel; Additional F♯ key is configured to power the horn Off; Eb/D3 Key and low C key, when pressed together, enters the processor to a “Command Mode”. The present invention further discloses a practice horn that comprises a siphon which causes saliva and moisture to run down a pipe inside the instrument and to drip out of a “Moisture Outlet” in a bottom cap located at the distal most portion of the horn.

    摘要: A reed (10) for a reed musical instrument has (with reference to FIG. 2) a reed body (129) having a reed tip (114) adapted for engagement by a mouth of a player and a ligature engagement section adapted for engagement by a ligature of the reed musical instrument. A cantilever arm (117) is formed integrally with or affixed to the reed body (129) and extends from the reed body (129). A reflector (20) is supported by the cantilever arm (117) spaced apart from the reed body (129). Motion of the reed tip (114) is transmitted via the cantilever arm (117) to the reflector (20). The cantilever arm (117) is shaped and configured such that the transmitted motion is amplified so that any movement of the reed tip (114) results in a greater movement of the reflector (20). The reed (10) in use is mounted on a mouthpiece (11) and has a distal end (119) which is illuminated by an LED (26), whereby the reflector (20) reflects light back to a light sensor (27), which measures the intensity of the light incident on the sensor (27).

    摘要: An instrument mouthpiece having an interior wall that includes a plurality of curvilinear modifications that disrupts airflow through the mouthpiece in order to produce a pleasing sound when a player is playing an instrument. The modifications may comprise raised curvilinear ridges disposed on the baffle of the or curvilinear valleys carved into the baffle. Additionally, the modifications may include specific patterns designed to elicit different, yet still pleasing sounds from the instrument. These patterns may include a first pattern having a first central linear modification flanked by a set of modifications having parabolic elongated modifications wherein each modification has a parabolic focus increasingly more distant from each respective modification in a direction away from the central modification and also flanked by a set of modifications having parabolic elongated modifications fashioned in the opposite direction. Another pattern may include modifications that are linear but spaced apart from each other in an increasingly distant pattern.

    摘要: A barrel for a woodwind instrument comprising a threaded bore to promote airflow throughout a woodwind instrument, thus, reducing turbulence, limiting the reflection of sound waves, and producing a sound with reduced amplitudes of overtones. The reduction in turbulent flow, further limits backpressure within the instrument, enabling the user to reduce the effort required to perform actions such as tonguing on said instrument. The barrel for a woodwind instrument comprises a mouthpiece receiver and an upper joint receiver for attachment to a woodwind instrument.

    摘要: A ligature for a woodwind mouthpiece includes a ligature strap with a carbon fiber portion and at least one flexible strap portion attached to and extending from the carbon fiber portion along one of the side edges. The flexible strap portion is folded over to form two layers of flexible strap, and a pair of rods are disposed between the two layers of one of the flexible strap portions. A closure mechanism passes through the flexible strap portion and each rod.
