The present invention provides a hanging device, characterized in that the hanging device comprises a hanging portion, a first wearing portion, and a second wearing portion, the first wearing portion comprising a neck strap, the neck strap comprising a neck strap front portion and a neck strap rear portion, and the second wearing portion comprising back straps, the back strap comprising a back strap front portion and a back strap rear portion, wherein the back strap front portion is connected to the neck strap front portion, and the back strap rear portion is connected to the neck strap rear portion.

The present disclosure describes a device for sealing woodwind musical instrument tone holes.

The resonator (1) is associated with wind instruments (S) of the type comprising a bell (C) located in correspondence of its main opening (A). The resonator (1) comprises a resonator element (2) preferably having a concave shape, supported within or in front of the bell (C) so that said concavity is directed towards the latter and that between the same resonator element (2) and bell (C) is defined a light passage (3). The resonator element (2) is aimed to define an auxiliary harmonic box intended for intercepting and reflecting or diverting the output sound waves from said bell (C) in order to increase its power, vary its timbre and/or improve the sound diffusion.

An electronic musical instrument includes an instrument body and a plurality of keys, each of which has an operation surface operated by a player's finger is provided on an external surface of the instrument body. Among the plurality of keys, at least two keys are disposed to be adjacent to each other, and the operation surfaces of the at least two keys are configured to be inclined to descend toward between the at least two keys when viewed from a left-right direction of the electronic musical instrument.

A mouthpiece configuration for a wind instrument (such as a saxophone) is provided that is rotatable with respect to the neck, while remaining stationary with respect to the musician. The inventive mouthpiece comprises an inner sleeve component that is inserted over the neck of the instrument, where the inner sleeve component is formed to include a rotatable outer surface element (e.g., slip ring, ball bearings, etc.), referred to as a bearing surface that provides rotational movement. A mouthpiece element is positioned over the inner sleeve component to engage with the rotatable outer surface element such that a player may easily rotate the mouthpiece element with respect to the remainder of the instrument.

A wind instrument includes: a tube body; and a plurality of tone hole tubes each having an outer open end formed at the outer periphery of the tube body and an inner open end formed through the outer opening end and opening to the inside of the tube body, wherein at least one of the tube body and the tone hole tube is curved such that the plurality of outer open ends of the plurality of tone hole tubes are disposed so as to be in positions corresponding to respective fingers of the performer, and the plurality of inner open ends are connected at positions that cause the tube body to produce a predetermined pitch.

A metal piece is provided with a pattern that exhibits different visual effects when it is viewed at different angles. At first, an as-cast metal piece is provided. Then, the metal piece is polished. The metal piece is cleaned. A layer is provided on the metal piece by providing colorant on the metal piece. An outline is provided on the bottom layer. A portion of the bottom layer is removed from the outline. Grooves are made in the outline before the metal piece is cleaned again. The grooves extend in a desired sense of direction and are at a desired depth. A colored pattern is provided by filling colorant in the outline. The colored pattern is dried. Grooves are made in the colored pattern before the metal piece is cleaned again. A protective layer is provided on the bottom layer and the colored pattern. The protective layer is dried.

A woodwind instrument reed is strip-shaped and has a vamp on one side in a longitudinal direction. The reed includes a resin matrix containing a liquid crystal polymer as a principal component, and a layered mineral dispersed in the resin matrix. A method for producing a woodwind instrument reed that is strip-shaped and has a vamp on one side in a longitudinal direction includes charging a composition for forming the reed into a cavity of a mold from a longitudinal end on a side opposite to the vamp to be formed. The composition contains a liquid crystal polymer as a principal component, and a layered mineral.

A key guard height adjuster for a brass instrument having a threaded rod configured to be received by a threaded bore of a key guard; a stem connecting the threaded rod to a key guard height adjuster head; and the adjuster head having a rounded top and a knurled edge. According to one approach, the adjuster head height can be in the range of about 4 mm to 10 mm. According to one approach, the adjuster head diameter is in the range of about 8 mm to 12 mm. According to one approach, the adjuster head is about 8 mm in width and about 6 mm in height.
