A performance support device includes a first surface, a second surface, and a flow path. The first surface is configured to face a blow hole of an air reed instrument. The second surface is configured to be displaced from the blow hole. The flow path penetrates from the first surface to the second surface and that is configured to flow an exhaled breath toward the blow hole. A cross-sectional area of the flow path at the first surface is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the flow path at a position displaced from the first surface toward the second surface.

A woodwind musical instrument finger rest and a system including the same are disclosed herein. The woodwind musical instrument finger rest includes an outer body portion, the outer body portion defining an inner recess, the outer body portion being formed from a first material; and an inner sleeve portion disposed in the inner recess of the outer body portion, the inner sleeve portion being formed from a second material that is different from the first material, the inner sleeve portion being configured to be disposed against an outer surface portion of a tubular wall of a woodwind musical instrument. The woodwind musical instrument finger rest is configured to facilitate a holding of the woodwind musical instrument by a user, and the woodwind musical instrument finger rest is configured to dissipate forces transferred between the woodwind musical instrument and a hand of the user.

Provided is an air reed instrument that allows even those who have poor playing ability, such as beginners, to easily produce sound. An air reed instrument according to the present invention is configured such that multiple protrusions/recesses or rectifying fins are provided successively on an inner wall 3 of a blow hole 2 and an inner wall 4 of a head joint 1 over the width of the major axis of the blow hole 2 so as to be orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the head joint 1. The protrusions/recesses or the rectifying fins act as a windway so that after the exhaled air flowing into the blow hole 2 circulates in the head joint 1, there is an increase in the proportion of the exhaled air that flows out from the mouth piece 2, making it easy to produce sound.

The present invention relates to a toothbrush comprising a head portion comprising a cleaning formation for cleaning teeth in use. A handle portion is connected to the head portion. The toothbrush comprises a musical wind instrument, the wind instrument comprising a resonant cavity extending within one or both of the head portion and the handle portion, and an air inlet operatively connected to the cavity and configured to induce resonance with the cavity by exhalation from the user in use.
