A keyboard for an electronic musical instrument, comprising a keybed with a multitude of keys supported therein and comprising a multitude of hammer heads supported on the keybed, which hammer heads can each be driven by a respective key by means of a mechanism, wherein, in the keybed, each hammer head is arranged opposite a resilient tongue which is fixed at its root so as to be struck by the hammer head when the key is actuated, and wherein the tongue is equipped with an impact sensor, wherein, on the side of the tongue facing away from the hammer head, a stop for the tongue is mounted on the keybed at a distance from the tongue, wherein a resilient vibration damper lies at least in the region of the root of the tongue between the tongue and the stop.

A mouthpiece for a woodwind instrument includes a main body and a first sensor. The main body includes a first space, a second space, a beak, a table, a first opening, and a second opening. The second space is separated from the first space. The table is configured to attach a reed. The first opening is configured to communicate the first space to a space outside the main body, and be at least partly covered by the reed in a state where the reed is attached to the table. The second opening is disposed in an outer surface of the beak and configured to communicate the second space to the space outside the main body. The first sensor is attached to the main body and configured to measure pressure in the second space.
