A handheld polyphonic free reed and electronic musical wind instrument that has ergonomic advantages over similar instruments. Multiple parallel rows of keys each an octave apart allow for sufficient range for most melodies and chord progressions while the hands remain stationary on the instrument and the fingers of both hands work in unison. The keyboard is separated into groups of keys intended for the left and right hands.

The invention relates to a precision reed (100) for single-reed instruments such as the clarinet or saxophone, made of wood or an Arundo donax section, having a vibrating section (120) formed for sound generating by means of an air flow in the single-reed instrument, having a clamping section (110) formed for clamping the reed (100) to the mouthpiece (200) with a reed holder, the clamping section (110) having a support wall (104) for supporting the reed (100) on the mouthpiece (200) and a reed back (111) facing away from of the mouthpiece (200). In this case, the reed back (111) is formed for a fully flat contact with the reed holder.

A woodwind reed storage and maintenance device conveniently fits directly onto the reed bearing end of a musical instrument. The storage and maintenance device includes a reed storage space, humidity control device space, and a humidity gauge. The storage and maintenance device is used to maintain a reed while still located on the musical instrument at a specifically-chosen constant humidity level for optimal performing condition and maximum reed life. The storage and maintenance device protects the reed from physical damage and from damage due to changing humidity levels in the ambient surroundings. The storage and maintenance device accurately measures and displays temperature and humidity information corresponding to the reed storage space inside the device.
