A saxophone cleaning tool is revealed. The saxophone cleaning tool includes a cleaner provided with a cleaning surface for cleaning an inner surface of a tube, a first pull body having one end connected with a first connection portion of the cleaner and the other end placed into the tube through a tube opening and descending into a curved portion, and a second pull body having one end connected with a second connection portion of the cleaner and the other end placed into the tube through a bell opening and descending into the curved portion. A free end of both the first and second pull bodies is provided with an assembly portion and a magnetic member. Thereby the cleaning tool is passed through the tube easily with the two free ends connected to form a loop which is pulled continuously for fast and cyclic cleaning of the saxophone.

A pickup, a stringed instrument, and a pickup control method are disclosed. The pickup comprises: pickup components(110), multi-touch screens(130) and processing components(140). The multi-touch screens(130) and the processing components(140) are connected. The pickup components(110) and the processing components(140) are connected. The pickup components(110) is configured to pick up sound information emitted by a musical instrument. The multi-touch screen(130) is configured to display function application information that is selected from a group consisting of timbre adjustment function application information, tone adjustment function application information, and equalizer adjustment function application information. The multi-touch screen is configured to receive a function triggering instruction. The multi-touch screen displays information as to functional applications available through the pickup capabilities. Control functions available to a user are expanded beyond control by a single knob as in the prior art, the playing experience of a user on the instrument is enhanced.

An expandable carrying case comprises first and second compartments. The first compartment includes a plurality of first walls forming a first space therebetween. A first opening is positioned on one of the plurality of first walls. The first opening is configured to be opened for access to the first space, and also configured to be closed to enclose the first space. The second compartment is coupled to the first compartment and configured to be stored within the first compartment to a stored state, and also configured to extend from the first compartment to an extended state. The second compartment includes a plurality of second walls forming a second space therebetween. A second opening is positioned on one of the plurality of second walls. The second opening is configured to be opened for access to the second space, and also configured to be closed.

A musical instrument carrying case having a receptacle and a lid is disclosed herein. The carrying case has a hinge that allows the lid to rotate around behind the receptacle to create an instrument stand. The hinge has at least four plates and three axles, including a free axle that permits the hinge to collapse together, resulting in a shortened distance between the lid and receptacle when in an open position.

The case for a string instrument and a bow can comprise a base shell that defines a first compartment that is configured to receive the string instrument. The first compartment can have an inner surface that is complementary to the shape of the string instrument and is configured to restrict movement of the string instrument along the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis. The base shell can further define a second compartment that is configured to receive the bow. The second compartment can have an inner surface that is complementary to the shape of the bow and is configured to restrict movement of the bow along the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis. A cover can be pivotably coupled to the base shell. In a closed position, the cover and the base shell can cooperate to fully enclose the string instrument and the bow within the case.

One or more embodiments of a device for securing guitar modulators is shown. The device includes a face, a bracket, and a base. The face defines a hole that extends completely through the face with a first length in a first direction and a first width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first length is greater than the first width. The bracket connects under the face and extends in the first direction parallel to the hole and is configured to allow a grommet to slide along the bracket in the first direction. The base is configured to support the face.

A device and method for converting a fretted musical instrument into a fretless instrument is provided. The device is manufactured to the dimensions of the musical instrument and configured to fit between the frets and the strings of the musical instrument. The resulting fretless instrument is easily convertible back to a fretted instrument.

The guitar pick retrieval tool is a hand tool that is configured to retrieve a pick that has fallen into the sound hole of a guitar. The guitar pick retrieval tool comprises an adhesive tip, a flexible shaft, and a handle. The handle is attached to an end of the flexible shaft. The adhesive tip is attached to the end of the flexible shaft that is distal from the handle. The flexible shaft is a semi-rigid shaft. The flexible shaft does not behave in an elastic manner. The semi-rigid nature of the flexible shaft allows the shaft to be bent into an arbitrary but stationary position which will be maintained until the flexible shaft is subsequently manipulated. The adhesive tip captures the pick by adhering to the pick when the adhesive tip is placed against the pick.

An airflow indicator providing a visually observable measure of relative airflow through a wind musical instrument which facilitates evaluation proximate the end of the instrument. This allows airflow to traverse the majority of the length of the instrument and particularly to traverse the valve section, so that actions of a player in operating the valves which impair the airflow may be seen. Some examples may be configured to minimize differences in pitch between the wind musical instrument with the airflow indicator in place, relative to the wind musical instrument without the airflow indicator.
