<p>A woodwind instrument, in particular a recorder or a flute, and having a plenum chamber (20, 52, 121) between the mouthpiece (23, 53, 125) and the wind channel (11, 42, 122) thereof to collect exhaled moisture. In the case of a recorder the mouthpiece preferably has an axial embouchure similar to those found in brass instruments so that the inside of the players mouth is not in contact with the instrument and the embouchure is offset from the wind channel. In the case of the flute the plenum chamber (121) may be provided in a training headpiece (120) to the instrument and which is interchangeable with the standard headpiece thereof so that in addition to providing a moisture entrapment facility the instrument may be played with the player's lips covering the embouchure and he can concentrate on learning the operation of the keys.</p> |
