The keys may themselves optionally be pierced by further respective holes or orifices (11). A sealing pad (20) for such a key comprises a fixed annular portion (21) for fixing to the key, and a movable annular lip (23) suitable for being pinched between the fixed annular portion of the pad and the rim (4) of a tone hole when the tone hole is closed by the pad.</p> |
