An electronic wind instrument and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic wind instrument includes an acquisition unit which acquires an operation performed on a playing operator, a breathing detection unit which detects breathing, and a control unit which generates a musical sound signal on the basis of at least one of the breathing that has been detected and the operation acquired by the acquisition unit, in which the control unit switches a first mode for generating a musical sound signal with a detection of the breathing as a condition and a second mode for generating the musical sound signal on the basis of the operation regardless of whether or not the breathing has been detected, on the basis of a detection result of the breathing.

This disclosure provides a transducer apparatus for an edge-blown aerophone, the edge-blown aerophone having an aerophone embouchure hole. An aerophone speaker delivers sound to a resonant chamber of the aerophone via the aerophone embouchure hole. An aerophone microphone receives, via the aerophone embouchure hole, sound in the resonant chamber. A housing provides a lip plate with a housing embouchure hole independent and separate from the aerophone embouchure hole. Breath sensors sense breath applied across the housing embouchure hole. An electronic processor, connected to the speaker, receives signals from the microphone and the breath sensors. The breath sensors provide signals indicative of breath strength. The electronic processor generates an excitation signal which is delivered as an acoustic excitation signal to the resonant chamber by the aerophone speaker. The electronic processor uses the signals it receives to determine a desired musical note which a player of the aerophone wishes to play.

The invention discloses a western and national ensemble instrument which comprises an instrument body, and a key assembly, a matrix circuit, a main board, a function control device and a timbre control device arranged on the instrument body; the key assembly is electrically connected with the matrix circuit; the matrix circuit is electrically connected with the main board; the main board is electrically connected with the function control device; the main board comprises an electrically connected timbre device packaged with a plurality of western musical instrument timbres and a plurality of national opera timbres. Due to the fact that the timbre control device is arranged on the panel of the instrument body, the timbre control device is electrically connected with the function control device by the main board to invoke timbre information corresponding control and any matching and superposition control.

A musical instrument comprising a mouthpiece and an elongated body, the elongated body comprises a plurality of finger contacts. The finger contacts comprise a first set of contacts arranged such that they may be simultaneously contacted by the little, ring, middle and index finger of the right hand and a second set of contacts arranged such that they may be simultaneously contacted by the little, ring, middle and index finger of the left hand. It further comprises a first thumb contact for contact by the right thumb and a second thumb contact for contact by the left thumb. The instrument comprises a tone generator controlled by the plurality of contacts, such that a first set of successive half tones is generated under control of the second set of contacts when the first thumb contact is operated, a second set of successive half tones is generated under control of the first set of contacts when the second thumb contact is operated, a third set of successive half tones is generated under control of the second set of contacts when the first thumb contact is freed; and a fourth set of successive half tones is generated under control of the first set of contacts when the second thumb contact is freed.
