    Abstract: The present invention relates to a head joint for a wind instrument, having a mouthpiece and a reed portion, and a wind instrument comprising same and, more particularly, to a head joint for a wind instrument, having a mouthpiece and a reed portion, and a wind instrument comprising same, the head joint allowing for an extended range of one octave lower, i.e. extended lower notes, than the range of a two-side-open wind instrument by adding the range of a one-side-open wind instrument, which is played through a reed, to the range of a two-side-open wind instrument which only has a mouthpiece.
    The head joint for a wind instrument, having a mouthpiece and a reed portion, according to the present invention has a tubular shape having one end closed, wherein the mouthpiece and the reed portion are formed, so as to be spaced apart from each other, at a certain distance from the end.

    Abstract: The invention provides a detachable wind guard for a flute-type instrument comprising an elongate, arcuate cover configured to wrap over a flute barrel. The cover has a center section with a radius larger than the radius of the flute barrel and includes a tapered, recessed facing edge configured to leave an embouchure hole uncovered. A domed apex of the center section is sized to accommodate a microphone, and a microphone clip is coupled inside the domed apex. End sections taper to a radius sized to conform to the flute barrel. An elongate, arcuate holder positioned opposite the cover has a radius sized to conform to the flute barrel. A connector pin passes through knuckles on both the cover and holder to form a hinge that allows the wind guard to open in a clamshell manner. Torsion springs around the connector pin bias the holder in a closed position.

    Abstract: A musical instrument includes a resonating pipe having a first slot defined along a length of a longitudinal axis of the resonating pipe and a sliding rod that slides along a length of the first slot and closes the first slot such that the sliding rod selectively covers and provides an air seal to the first slot, such that a pitch of sound produced varies according to a length of closure of the first slot. A mouthpiece is coupled to the resonating pipe to enable the player to create a resonating column of air in the resonating pipe and control the pitch of the instrument by controlling the coverage of the sliding rod over the first slot.

    Abstract: Crown assemblies are described, having novel extension units, selectable vibrational lengths, stoppers with flexible coupling to the crown and regulated pressure against a headjoint tube, and crowns with radial-arm contact surfaces. The novel extension units are situated between the embouchure and the crown and extend the vibrational length between those points. This extension gives the flute tone greater depth and resonance and gives the player greater control over the vibration of the flute tube. A selectable extension unit features distinct vibrational lengths at indexed points of rotation of the crown, providing a means for rapidly changing the tone and response of the instrument in a fashion heretofore unknown on flutes. Improvements to crown and stopper design allow freer vibration of the headjoint tube between embouchure and crown, further enhancing the benefits of the novel extension unit.

    Abstract: A headjoint stopper is arranged for mounting within the headjoint of a transverse flute of the type that includes an embouchure hole, a crown fitting, and an inside wall having a circumference. The headjoint stopper includes a front shoulder which is located closer to the embouchure-hole and a back shoulder located closer to the crown fitting. The front and back shoulders each contact the entire circumference of the inside wall to provide a seal between the headjoint and the headjoint stopper at the front and back shoulders. A midsection is located between the said front and back shoulders. The midsection does not contact the inside circumference of the headjoint to create a resonance chamber between the headjoint stopper and the inside wall of the headjoint to improve the sonic qualities of the instrument while preserving the sound characteristics of the existing headjoint.
