ABSTRACT:
A finger switch is mounted at a player's finger so as to detect bending and stretching actions of a player's finger. Such finger switch at least consists of a thin plate made of plastic materials which is mounted on the back of the player's finger, a push button mounted on the thin plate near a center portion of the player's finger and a movable member which can be moved along the thin plate 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 so that the push button will be pushed 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.
