Resonance and articulation trainer

摘要

A resonance and articulation training device that includes a body with an open end and a closed end. A vertical tube is attached to the body near the closed end, and a pellet is located within the vertical tube. One or more holes along the body may be used to adjust the amount of airflow needed to lift the pellet. A mouthpiece or head joint from a musical instrument may be attached to the open end. Generating a tone with the mouthpiece or head joint creates an airflow in the body. If the airflow is sufficient, it may lift the pellet.

主权项

1. A device for teaching proper airflow for wind instruments, the device comprising:
a body comprising a main tube having an open first end, an open second end, an inner surface having an inner diameter, an outer surface having an outer diameter, a surface extending between the inner surface and the outer surface to define a first hole, an end cap positioned at one end of the main tube, the end cap having a first cylindrical section with a first diameter larger than the inner diameter and a second cylindrical section with a second diameter smaller than the inner diameter, the end cap having a cylindrical surface extending through the second cylindrical section to define a second hole axially aligned with the first hole; a tube having an open end connected in fluid communication with the body; a pellet within the tube; and a connector configured to connect to the open first end and to receive at least one of a mouthpiece and a head joint.
