ABSTRACT:
A finger switch is mounted at a player's finger so as to detect bedding and stretching actions of a player's finger. Such finger switch includes a thin plate made of a plastic material which is mounted on the back of the player's finger, a push button switch mounted adjacent the thin plate near a center portion of the player's finger, and a movable member which is moved in response to the bending and stretching actions of the player's finger. When the player bends his finger, the movable member is moved toward the push button switch so that the push button switch will be pushed and activated by the movable member. By mounting a plurality of such finger switches on the fingers of the player, a musical scale or a tone pitch of a musical tone to be generated can be controlled based on a combination of on/off states of the push buttons.
