The present invention relates to a novel woodwind mouthpiece, which comprises: a main body having an elongated streamlined shape; a hollow chamber and a bore inside the main body; a reed table on one side of the main body and partially suspended from the main body; a beak on an opposite side to the reed table on the main body; a reed rail surrounding the beak and connecting to two lateral sides of the reed table to form an opening window between a reed and the hollow chamber inside the main body; and a tip opening disposed between the reed rail at a tip of the beak and an virtual surface extending from a surface of the reed table, wherein the woodwind mouthpiece is made of a plastic, a metal, an alloy, a composite, wood or a combination thereof.

Ligature for woodwind instruments, such as a clarinet or saxophone, having a receiving block (4), which is designed to clamp a reed (1) to a mouthpiece (2) of the woodwind instrument, while preventing twisting and/or sliding, by exerting a compressive force (14) on the reed (1), so that an axis of symmetry or longitudinal direction (1f) of the reed (1f) is aligned with an axis of symmetry or longitudinal direction of a bearing surface of the mouthpiece (2), characterized in that the receiving block (4) is designed to receive the reed (1) in a force-fitting manner and/or to establish a form fit with at least one side surface (1d) of the reed (1).

A musical instrument therapy device for providing strengthening therapy for sleep apnea treatment. Utilization of the device can help to strengthen the user's muscles of the throat and tongue, which can help the user to maintain an open airway during sleep (reduce airway collapse) and prevent airway blockages, thereby reducing the chance of obstructed breathing during sleep. The musical instrument therapy device comprises: a tubular body defining an air column; a mouthpiece located at a first end of the tubular body configured to receive a blow input; a mute located at a second end of the tubular body configured to mute the blow input; a plurality of sensors configured to obtain measurements associated with the blow input; a processing unit configured to make one or more determinations associated with blow input based on the obtained measurements; and an indicator configured to display an indication of the one or more determinations.

A ligature strap for a mouthpiece includes a plurality of kerfs extending at least partially along each one of a plurality of parallel lines running across the ligature strap with at least two separate kerfs extending along a common line in the plurality of parallel lines. The ligature strap includes a central portion and two ends portions extending at an angle from the central portion. The parallel lines extend into the end portions and kerfs are disposed on the parallel lines in the end portions.
