The invention relates to a wind instrument, for instance, a saxophone or flute. The invention is based on the discovery that a wind instrument, for instance of copper or brass, can be markedly improved by at least one chemically applied coating of hard material. Such a coating applied to the inner side of the tube improves the sound. A coating of phosphor-nickel, preferably with PTFE, applied to the outer side of the instrument has an exceptionally attractive appearance and is less susceptible to scratching. If a coating is applied in swivel bearings of the valve mechanism, disturbing mechanical sounds are reduced and the mechanism moves with less resistance. |
